Q: Data model to logical model conversion
« on: May 09, 2003, 08:26:19 am »
Hi,
I am a newbie to UML and EA.
I reverse-engineered an SQL Server database into a data model diagram.
Does EA offer any tool for converting this diagram into a class diagram with attribute types converted to those relevant to a specific programming language?
If not so, is it possible to export tables to XML, apply some kind of user-written filter and finally import them back into a class diagram?
Thanks!

Hi,

Take a look in the help, search for XMI (XML model interchange). That functionality exports your model to XML, then you can apply your filters.

XMI can be imported back again into EA.

Keep in mind that the filter should not break the XMI rules.

Greatings,
