The following are the reverse engineering options for Snowflake database supported in erwin DM.

Parameter

Description

Additional Information
Json Data Specifies the reverse engineering process using a data file  
Json Schema Specifies the reverse engineering process using a script  

Parameter

Description

Additional Information
Glossary CSV Files Specifies the naming standard glossary file in the .CSV format  

JSON Array Element

Specifies the level of JSON array elements processed during reverse engineering.

First Element: Indicates that only the first (0th) element in the JSON array is processed

All Elements: Indicates that all elements in the JSON array is processed

This option is available only when JSON Data is used for reverse engineering.
Case Conversion of Physical Name Specifies how the case conversion of physical names is handled

None: Indicates that the same case is preserved as it appears in the script file

lower: Indicates that the names are converted to lower case

UPPER: Indicates that the names are converted to upper case

Force: Indicates whether the physical name property of all the logical/physical models is overridden. If this option is not enabled, all logical and physical names are set to the same value after the process completes. If this option is enabled, the logical/physical link is broken between the logical and physical name.
Case Conversion of Logical Name Specifies how the case conversion of logical names is handled

None: Indicates that the same case is preserved as it appears in the script file

lower: Indicates that the names are converted to lower case

UPPER: Indicates that the names are converted to upper case

Mixed: Indicates that the mixed-case logical names are preserved
Save Field Value Specifies whether to save the filed values  

Parameter

Description

Additional Information
Model Specifies the location and name of the reverse engineered model

For example: C:\Scheduler\<Model Name>.erwin

When you schedule a job on a remote server, ensure the model path is same for remote and local server.
Mart Folder Specifies the location or library in your mart where the reverse engineered model is saved
 To use this option, ensure that you are connected to a mart. For more information, refer to the Connecting to Mart topic.
Complete Compare Specifies whether the Complete Compare (CC) process should run while reverse engineering  
Output File Specifies the location of the CC output file generated  
File Specifies that the target model location is on the local system  
Mart Specifies that the target model location is in the mart  
Using Latest Version Specifies whether the target model is the latest version of the model in the mart This option is available only when Mart is selected.
Save To Mart Specifies whether the reverse engineered model is saved to the mart This option is available only when Using Latest Version is selected.
Target Model Specifies the location of the target model for CC  
Option Set Specifies the option set that is used for CC

Advanced Default Option Set: Indicates that all erwin DM metadata is included. CC works slowest with this option.

Speed Option Set: Indicates that only the essential metadata is included. CC works the fastest with this option set.

Standard Default Option Set: Indicates that standard metadata is included. CC works fast with this option set compared to the Advanced option set.

In addition to the above options, click Browse to select a custom option set for complete compare.
