Anoher EA Datamodel Question

[cschlaefcke]

I just started working with EA (It´s a great tool, by the way!). First thing I wanted to do is to model a database model as an ER-Diagram. Export the diagram to a ddl and create the model classes from the ER-Diagram. And that´s where I stuck: I cannot find a way to extract classes from the datamodel. Is it possible anyway? Thanks for any hint/help!

Regards,

Chris

Chris,
although I have only peripheral interest in this topic and I might have missed new developments in EA: AFAIK you have to export the tables, modify the XMI and re-import the classes in order to get an analoguous class model. Alternatively you could use the automation to write a database engineer like ROSE has one.

Hi,

you may want to have a look at the model transformation functionality in EA5.0. I have not played around with it yet, but this is exactly the kind of thing that it could be used for.

Isn´t the current release 4.51? Is the 5.0 available for testing? Where can I get it?

It's free to test for registered users only

Hi,

yes, that is truth. I would expect though that once 5.0 is released officially (hopefully any day now) that the Trial version will reflect that, too.
