Progress

Following are the reverse engineering options for Progress.

Parameter

Description

Additional Information
Reverse Engineer From Specifies the reverse engineering source

Database: Indicates that the model is reverse engineered from database

Script File: Indicates that the model is reverse engineered from a script
File Specifies the script file location

This option is available when Script File is selected.

Parameter

Description

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

 

Parameter

Description

Additional Information
Option Set Specifies the option set template for reverse engineering

Open: Use this option to open a saved XML option set file.

Save: Use this option to save the configured option set.

Save As: Use this option to save an option set either in the model or in the XML format at some external location.

<Option Set Name> Specifies the objects to be reverse engineered according to the selected option set. You can edit this list.  

Parameter

Description

Additional Information
System Objects Specifies whether system databases are included under the Available Databases  
Tables/Views Owned By Specifies tables that are reverse engineered based on the ownership

All: Indicates that all the tables are reverse engineered regardless of the owner

Current User: Indicates that only those tables that are owned by the current user are reverse engineered

Owners (comma separated): Indicates that only the tables owned by the users specified here are reverse engineered. Enter the usernames in capital letters.
Infer Specifies whether you want to infer primary keys or relationships, or both

Primary Keys: Indicates that primary key columns are inferred for the tables that are based on defined indexes

Relations: Indicates that the relationships between tables based on either primary key column names or defined indexes are inferred. Select this option and then specify whether to use primary key column names or defined indexes. The following options are available only when Infer is set to Relations.

Indexes: Indicates that the relationships from the table indexes are inferred. Relationships are inferred from table indexes only if the primary key columns of the parent table are part of the index in the child table.

Names: Indicates that the relationships from the primary key column names are inferred. Relationships are inferred from columns names only if all of the primary key columns of the parent are in the child table.
Case Conversion of Physical Names Specifies how the case conversion of physical names is handled

None: Indicates that the case in the script file is preserved

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

None: Indicates that the case in the script file is preserved

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
Include Generated Triggers Specifies whether erwin-generated triggers are loaded during the reverse engineering process  

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.

Parameter

Description

Additional Information
erwin Project Specifies whether to configure the model for an existing erwin project  
Model Name Specifies the name of the erwin project  
Location Specifies the location of the project
