Hi,
I have a simple List Report for Relationship objects in my Logical Data Model. I created a Result Set to capture a snapshot of the content of the report, but the properties of the underlying report and its Result Set are different. I have attached screenshots of both for comparison.
Any ideas why this is happening? It makes capturing the Result Sets a bit pointless - I'll need to export to Excel or similar instead.
Thanks,
Antony
Hello,
what is the behaviour of SySAM license server with one floating (concurrent) PD license, when the client (PD application) loses connection to the license server? Network error, laptot taken out of the network connectivity with running PowerDesigner, etc.
I suppose, that PD stays up and running until the user shuts it down (new start of PD won`t be allowed), but I am more interested in the behaviour of license server. What is the period of inactivity, after which is the license "returned" automatically? Is there any legal way, how to do this return manually to avoid waiting for the timeout?
Thanks,
Ondrej
When generating a LDM from a CDM, PowerDesigner builds a FK reference as an "Integer" from a PK specified as a Serial (8). When the PDM is created the FK reference is transformed to an "INT4". The FK reference should be specified as a " Long Integer" so that the FK reference in the PDM would become "INT8". Where can this conversion or mapping be modified so that we so not have to manually update the column specifications in the LDM? See example below. We are using the PostgreSQL 9 DBMS properties file.

Hello,
currently our “Security team” is doing a review on tools that we use, and they have a few questions regarding the PowerDesigner:
- Is the connection from the PowerDesigner client software to the License server:
Encrypted
Authenticated (i.e. using certificates to make sure that the client is talking to the real licensing server)
- Is the connection from the PowerDesigner client software to Proxy server:
Encrypted
Authenticated (i.e. using certificates to make sure that the client is talking to the real licensing server)
- Is the connection from the PowerDesigner client software to Repository database (when using Direct connection instead of Proxy):
Encrypted
Authenticated (i.e. using certificates to make sure that the client is talking to the real licensing server)
Thank you very much, best regards,

Hi,
I'm trying to change data type of a foreign key if it's parent attribute is defined with serial data type in LDM.
I have created an extension , added a metaclass - 'Relationship' to it and then, added an event handler - 'Initialize' under 'Relationship' metaclass.
However, I can't figure how do I access ParentAttribute and ChildAttribute for a relationship for which I have created 'Initialize' event handler.
I'm new to PD and vbscript. So, I'm still trying to figure out how to use PD metamodel. Any kind of help is greatly appreciated. Thanks !

Hello Experts
I am new to Power Designer and my task at my work place is to create Data Lineage Model using Power Designer. I was hoping if you can assist me to begin with
1. How can i create a Data Lineage Model using Power Designer?
2. Is there any document template to document the data flow?

I want to include standard text default values for a dimensional data model so that they can be selected from the drop down list rather than be typed over and over again.
Using PowerDesigner v15.2 and a customized version of the Teradata.xdb. The standard values are Unknown and Not Applicable. When I enter these values in the ReservedDefault section of the Keywords Category of the .xdb, they appear in the drop down list as expected. However, the DDL that is generated does not put the quotes around the values.
Documentation states that "If a reserved word is used as a default value, it will not be enquoted." Given that Unknown and Not Applicable are not reserved words, I am not able to determine the issue.
Any assistance will be much appreciated!

Hi everyone,
I am trying to query PowerDesigner Database to retrieve information exactly as the image attached. I need to know the parent and childs that is represented in the object browser tree. Where can I find this representation? Is in a table?
I do know that almost all information about the model is persisted in a object table PMOBJT and it has no much more tables related to a particular model (CDM in my case). The question is: how can I replicate this object browser tree using queries or anything else?
Thanks

Marcelo

Hello there,
I was wondering, if it is possible to adjust the file name for DDL scripts according to the object type.
E.g. I have a table "Product" and I would like to have the script name to be "Product.table_create.sql
If I have a view "Product" I would like to have the script name to be "Product.view_create.sql"
We're using the Teradata V14 DBMS Resource File.
I wish I could just adjust the constant ScriptExt within the Teradata DBMS Resource File (Script -> Sql -> File) to something like "%OBJECTTYPE%_create.sql" But unfortunately that does not work.
Am I simply using the wrong variable? Or does it not work that way at all? Does anybody have a suggestion?
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards

Hi,
Some of my coleagues use Sparx Enterprise Architect for data modelling. Just because this tool is available for them.
Maybe it's good idea to use more sophisticated and dedciated tool (such as PowerDesigner) for data modeling and data model magement especially for large models in data warehouse.
Could you share any rationale to change Sparx EA to PowerDesginer? What are the main functional advantages of PD against SparxEA?
Best regards and thank you in adnavce for your response

For a client that is composed of the PD 16.5 base + SP05 + PL02 stack, what is best way to remove the client prior to reinstalling a lower version (e.g. SP04)? I executed the SP05 SETUP.EXE with ADMIN privileges and selected and executed the "Remove all installed features" option. This took care of removing PowerDesigner but remnants appeared to persist in certain folders such as C:\Program Files\Sybase C:\ProgramData\PowerDesigner 16 C:\Users\Public\Documents\PowerDesigner Libraries C:\Users\puid\AppData\Roaming\PowerDesigner\16.5 C:\Users\puid\AppData\Local\assembly (contains Sybase.PowerDesigner.Word.WordToRqm) Is it OK for these folders to be present after “all installed features” have been removed? Are there any that should be manually deleted prior to a reinstall of the PD 16.5 client? Thanks.
Hello,
last days, I faced this problem couple times. What is the current list of PD editions available for purchase? Does the Portal Composer license exist or it is not needed anymore?
All I found in PD (16.5 SP05) documentation is mentioning named user licenses:
Is Portal composer license (the ability to edit comments, etc.) part of one of these? I installed PD and repository in trial model and Portal Composer functionality was working. I put PowerDesigner DataArchitect Enteprise license for version 16.5 and it is working again. Can somebody please put here a CURRENT list of available editions and licensing types (Floating vs. standalone/named)? How about DataArchitect vs. DataModeler editions? I am still able to generate DataArchitect license for PD 16.5 (including CDM).
Is there a list of PD components used in license files with their description? So I can better understand directly from the license file, which functionalities are currently available for the customer? For example:
PD_SAP component is needed for: SAP Business Suite import, SAP Business Objects Universe generation and reverse engineering, etc.
PD_SHELLW componenet is needed for: ...
etc.
I would really appreciate if someone can clarify my confusion about this.
Thank you,

Hello folks,
I'm with a problem in Windows 10 when I connect in a repository using the PowerDesigner Viewer (Version 16.5 SP4).
The "Connection Type" of my repository is "Proxy". In the "Proxy Repository Definition", I fill the "Repository name", the "Server name" and "Port number". When I click in the combobox, nothing appears and if I fill the combo with my instance name and click the "Test" button, the following error occur: "The Windows Socket Connection to the proxy failed with error: 0 (...)"
I know that this code does not help nothing =/
This version is not compatible with Windows 10?
Can someone help me?
Thanks
Where can I find the rules on how PD 16.5 generates the text it puts in the Name AND Code columns for a Key on a Table. Key could be Primary or Unique.
Right now it is generating a value such as key_1, key_2. I would like it to use the same value as used by ConstraintName, for which I have a rule defined in the DBMS Resource file to generate the value such as PK_tablename, UK_tablename_seqnbr.
Having the Name and Code columns as Key_1 is not impacting the DDL being generated, but when merging the Dev model to Production model, it is getting difficult to identify which changes to merge.
I want to do a similar thing for Name and Code column for References (i.e Relationships). Would like to put the same value as in Constraint name in this case too.
I am using Oracle 10 or 11 databases.
