RTF generation for connector values

[SimonDMU]

I hope someone could help.

I have used a data modelling diagram to demonstrate the mapping of date from a source (in this case classes) to values in an XML schema.

I have used various types of connectors and set the source and target role values to represent the translation of date. I want to generate a RTF report that shows the pretty diagram and an output table of the mapped source to target values and so far the document comes up blank!

Can someone help please? Or recommend a better way to model this as I do not want to report to creating an excel table with the mapped data...EA should be able to generate this as a report.

I am not sure why you are getting a blank output, but you might try starting with the defualt template for data modeling "(data model template)".
Also check the whitepaper on data modeling showing setting up Link to Feature connections between Attributes of tables:

These can be reported in the connector sub-sections of the RTF reports.

Hi Dermot,

Thanks for that, I realised in y previous post there was a typo where in the second sentence it should read Data not date.

I am mapping data from SQL data tables into a message schema. This is used to create a batch XML file for a message drop to another system.

I was wanting to model the mapping of table data into the XSD document I have. To do this I am creating a relationship per mapped column.

The link you supplied did not work but I read this paper:

Although the paper was a good read I do not see how it would help in my specific case.

There has been a change over in the Community site - so the address is now different. Try this link - see Figure 11 &12:
http://community.sparxsystems.com/white-papers/669-data-modeling-from-conceptual-model-to-dbms
The other paper was more about DDL modeling.

Dermot Thank you for that it is exactly what I am after.
