XMI export to Erwin

[aldrich]

I've done a DDL transform of a package with a couple of classes in it and it does what I expect (gives the classes table stereotypes, generates another column, makes it the pk, makes the association a PK/FK relationship, and then migrates the PK of the parent down to the child). I then do an XMI export (UML 2.4.1 (XMI 2.4.1), the exclude EA extensions is left unchecked) and bring into Erwin everything is fine except for the generated attribute in Erwin is not marked as a PK.

In addition, the fk is not marked in Erwin as well. The version of Erwin is 8.2.

This has a number of knock-on effects obviously. Any thoughts? I'm on Sparx EA 10.0.1006 if that helps.

Maybe you can create a DDL and import that into ERWIN? (Not my area of competence, just a thought)

It's a thought but probably not practical. For one thing, it would probably mean standing up the tables somewhere and then bringing in the model into Erwin via an ODBC connection.

I'm thinking of getting the Reischmann Toolbus eval and seeing if I can get better results.
