Converting your entity instances

You can convert your Pacbase entities to another model such as PDP model.

You need to have entities imported from a Pacbase database in a connection repository.
Converting entities to PDP model means at first that you export your entities to the Design explorer view in the Design perspective. Then you will be able to update your entities in this editor.
  1. To do this, open the Pacbase Explorer view in the Pacbase perspective.
  2. Open an existing connection repository and right-click in the list of entities. In the popup menu that opens up, select Convert > Convert to PDP model. The wizard that opens looks like this following one:
    You find in sub-branches, the list of the instances you have imported locally in your connection repository and the one(s) you have selected in the view.
  3. On the first window of the wizard, check the entities you want to convert or click All if you want to select of all them. Click None to cancel a selection. Check Convert already present dependent entities to convert also the associated entities. For example, if you select the 'AA' Data element, the Segment 'AA00' will be converted too. Then, click Next.
  4. On the next window, select an existing location or enter a new target location. The entities will be saved in the Design view of the Design perspective, under the location you indicate here. Then, click Finish and the convert process starts running. The window closes at the end of the process.
Go onto the Design view of the Design perspective and check that you find the instances in the expected entity sub-directory in the proper location:
