Hi,
Help me. In my company we work with both tools (Erwin and PowerDesigner). The models need to be portables between them. I was able to import Erwin model to Power Designer but I could not export from PD to Erwin. I found in other communities it is possible by converting to OOM and export to XMI format but in my opinion this is a very serious limitation. Anyone know How to do this?
Thank you.
I can't seem to find where I can alter the template used for creating a column's default value. Is this something the SQL Server does or is it something I can control? Below is a screen shot of 2 constraints that I've altered the constraint name template for and 6 constraints that pertain to column default values that I haven't named.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi, I have used the "Reverse engineer->XML Definition" and this way imported XSD files (defining ISO messages) into PowerDesigner 16.5 (DataArchitect license).
Then I used "Tools->Generate Physical Data Model" followed by "Tools -> Generate Conceptual Data Model".
The resulting CDM seems ok but is organised visually in a way where you even can't guess the hieracic structure of the message defined by the XSD.
The XSD has a hierarchic structure and I have tried to e.g. import the XSD to Eclipse with the hyperModel plugin and the result is a very nice hierarchic UML diagram exactly mirroring the XSD structure. I mean, the XSD structure in e.g. XMLSpy and the hyperModel diagram generated in Eclipse is readable because you see the hierarchic structure, but the structure displayed default in PowerDesigner is spaghetti-like, impossible to see any top-down structure for a reasonable complex XSD. Generally I would like to see the "bigger" objects on top and then a top-down structure where you clearly see the hierarchy of gradually smaller parts/objects, resembling the hierchy you may see when looking at a XSD in e.g. XMLSpy in the schema/design view....
Anyone who knows if it is possible to (automatically) get a better model structure, maybe by using some view settings? I have not found any setting for how to change the organisation of the model so far.

Peder
We are migrating data models, logical and physical from ERwin to PowerDesigner and looking for the best approach. Our thoughts are
1. Use ERwin to migrate to PD.
2. Perform a "Complete Compare" between newly created PD Physical table and the current Teradata Table to validate the content of the columns. Our ERwin DM may not be current view of the physical tables due to bad processes where developer add columns and Data architecture team was not in the loop of the development process.
Hi,
is there a chance to get PowerDesigner roadmap?
We would like to know whether there is planned support for Microsoft PDW (Parallel Data Warehouse) database. MS SQL Server definition file is only of very limited use.

Hello!
Has anyone use PowerDesigner to import ARIS EPC diagrams? I am using a tool named "ToolBus" to convert a *.XML file to *.BPM file (PowerDesigner extension), but it is not working. The diagram is blank.
Anyone has a tutorial or a guide, or something? 
Regards!

Is it possible to navigate straight to a diagram available in the powerdesigner portal without the use of the 'navigation'? (by url)
We are using the Power Designer Portal (/powerdesigner_web) and would like to link diagram's from our corporate wiki.
A Poodle attack is a form of man-in-the-middle attack that can occur when using HTTPS protocol to communicate from a web client to a server.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POODLE
http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/ssl-30-vulnerability-poodle-bug-aka-poodlebleed
The web portal supplied with PD is based on the Apache Tomcat server. By default, the portal listens for HTTP traffic on port 3030 and HTTPS traffic on port 3443.
The following steps help detail how to disable SSL 3.0 in the supplied Tomcat server.
Locate the ‘Program Files\Sybase\PowerDesigner Portal 16.0\tomcat\conf\server.xml’ file.
Change the following section:
<Connector protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol" SSLEnabled="true" port="3443"
keystoreFile="C:\Program Files\Sybase\PowerDesigner Portal 16\keystore\server.keystore"
keystorePass="changeit" maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true" ClientAuth="false"
sslProtocol="TLS" />
To
<Connector protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol" SSLEnabled="true" port="3443"
keystoreFile="C:\Program Files\Sybase\PowerDesigner Portal 16\keystore\server.keystore"
keystorePass="changeit" maxThreads="150" scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false"
sslEnabledProtocols="TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2" />
and restart the portal.
To protect browsers from using SSL 3.0 in the first place:
For IE, use the Tools->Internet Options menu and locate the ‘Security’ section in the Settings list. Disable the use of SSL 2.0 and 3.0 (and enable TLS versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2).
Firefox can be restricted from using SSL 3.0 by typing ‘about:config’ in the address box and searching for ‘tls’. Set the ‘security.tls.version.min’ value to ‘1’.
Other browsers will have similar options for disabling SSL 3.0 and in future (e.g. the next Firefox major release) will permanently disable SSL 3.0 as a default).
Disabling SSL 3.0 at the browser level will help protect users when communicating to other websites using HTTPS protocol. This is not a PD portal-specific fix and should be immediately adopted within your organization.
The settings for the PD supplied Apache Tomcat Server will protect un-altered clients from Poodle attack only when communicating with the PD Web Portal running on that server. Installing the portal components on any other web server may require that server to have SSL 3.0 disabled as necessary.
A test tool is also available at the following link to show the SSL protocols in use by the web server:

Hi,
just wondering ... I have a BPM Model divided in packages ..., I have in each of the packages a swimlane. Each package has the "Use Parent Namespace" unchecked ... so why I'm not able to use the same names for swimlanes and roles in different packages?
And vice versa .., if I check the "Use Parent Namespace" property, I would assume, I can reuse the same swimline/role in different packages ... but I can't.
So how to deal with this? I need to be able to reuse the same roles accross the whole model, but I need this groupings (packages)
In this diagram I would like to reuse the Template Role from defined on the diagram X.1.1 on the package X.1.1
Thanks,
Rafal

Hello,
I'm currently evaluating modelling softwares for my Company (Renelco SA).
I have installed a trial version of PowerDesigner 16 on MS Windows 8.1
Since PowerDesigner seems to run correctly, there is a big problem when it comes to print a diagram
(on a physical printer as well as using PDF Creator).
Most of the attempts to print something end with a crash of PowerDesigner with the well known message
"Pdshell16.exe has stop working". (see screenshot)
What's the problem with PrintOut functionnality.
I only encounter this problem in this case and, when it happens, the only action I can perform is to click
on the Close button, thus exiting from the app.
As I can see when googling, it seems to be a recurrent problem (PdShellXX.exe crash).
Since the goal of modelling tools is to supply documents that are generally shared with other people,
I find this kind of problem very inconvenient.
Thanks in advance for your support
Best Regards.
Using PowerDesigner version 15.2. I am generating individual create scripts for each database object. For tables and views, everything works as expected. Individual scripts are created with the name of the object and appropriate DDL. However, for the foreign key scripts (which are generated independent of the create table), the individual scripts are empty and all the foreign key contraints appear in the single mandatory file that must always be specified. Appears to be a bug. Would appreciate any feedback.
I read in Powerdesigner documentation about Regulatory Compliance - Basel, but I can´t understand how it can work.
Can you give me a example?
Powerdesigner also support Solvency?
Best Regards
I have noticed that the DDL generated will often have objects generated out of order, such as some (but not all) tables and views being generated before the drop database command.
Is there something I am missing in the setup or options for generation that would make objects be generated in the logical order, i.e. tablespaces before tables, no ojects in the database before dropping the database, etc..
I am running 16.1.0.3917 EBF 18.
DB is DB2 z/OS V10
I'm looking forward to downloading PD 16.5 SP2, which includes the 64-bit version of PD, but why-oh-why have they combined the 32-bit and 64-bit versions into one huge (2,925,384,014 bytes) ZIP file? I'm now on my third attempt to download it. My first two attempts were (only!) 1,829,605 KB and 1,843,062 KB. We don't all have access to super-fast broadband. 
Am I the only one having problems downloading it?
Using PD 16.1 with the DBMS IBM DB2 Version 10 for z/OS i found that there is no generation of some (important) objects in the "Apply Model Changes to Database" dialog
IMHO it doesn´t make sense, that i can´t modify or add a storage, tablespace , user or something else.
For me it looks like, that everything what is difficult is switched off !
In special, there is a situation in DB2 Version 10, where you can assign 1 table to 1 tablespace (called universal tablespaces) and its necessary to drop the tablespace and recreate it when you need to "drop" the table.
