Hi All, I am trying to import a .xml created from SAVE-AS dialogue of ERwin 9.2 in PD 16.2 but for my dismay I am not able to import the data-types. Following are the list of steps:
1. Create a .xml file from the logical model (or even with just physical model) of Erwin tool using SaveAS dialogue box (Tried using both Standard and Repository xml options)
2. I can see from the xml definition the data-types are clearly identifiable for each entity
3. I go on to import the xml created using PD 16.2 from Import -> Erwin File option
4. I choose to import the xml as both LDM and PDM (Though LDM doesn't really import all the entities from Erwin file I created)
5. Strangely an error follow saying no right DBMS is chosen though I have marked the database in Erwin clearly (tried it as Oracle/Sybase IQ, Sqlserver 2012). I choose the DBMS as Sqlserver 2012 again in PD to continue after below error
6. Finally I am able to see the entities and diagram after choosing to 'Show Symbols' from drop-down option but the data-types are UNDEFINED
Please do let me know - If I have missed to follow any steps for following 2 issues:
a) Why isn't all the entities shown in LDM of PD
b) Why does the PD show all the data-types as undefined despite the same shown in Erwin and .xml file imported
Thanks for your time and effort.
BR,
Anil
