Package DDL generation seems not to work

[calegari]

Hello!

Well, I'm new to EA, and I'm evaluating the trial version once I'm about to get EA to my company. I cannot generate the DDL script from a package. Is that a bug? I'll tell you what I'm doing.

1- I started a new project and a new Diagram.
2- I chose the "Class" tab in the right toolbox.
3-After finishing my data model, I created a folder in the "Project Browser" and moved my model inside that.
4- According to the help, to generate the DDL for all a package content, we should click on the package in the Project Manager and choose the "project-->database engineering-->generate package DDL" menu option. However nothing happens.

Conclusion: If I want to generate a DDL script to generate my database I have to generate table by table  

Is that right??? Please, it's quite important.

Thanx.

G'day,

You have the diagram in your folder, but do you have the actual elements in that folder?

Well, I didn't get what you meant by "actual elements", but I have something like the tree bellow in the project browser:

+-Views
  +Use Case Views
  |  +Business Process Model...
  |  +Package1
  |   .   #MyER_Model
(...)

So, I lieve the folder Package1 selected in the project browser and then I try to generate the DDL definition of the tables in the diagram MyER_Model (which is inside the Pack1)

Thanx again!!!

G'day,

I meant: are your tables (any object in the project tree is an element) located in the package for which you are trying to generate DDL?

No DDL will be generated for the package if the tables aren't located in the package.  DDL cannot be generated from a diagram in a package, just the table elements in a package.

I'm off for the weekend.  If you want, e-mail me directly, and Monday I'll reply with a screen shot of what I mean.
