How to Use the Metadata Integration Wizard
You can load a wide variety of models generated by other sources into a data model. Technology from Meta Integration Technology, Inc. is embedded with erwin Data Modeler to provide integration capabilities with about 100 industry-leading metadata products in the form of a wizard.
There is a different wizard depending on what you need to do. Following are the supported Metadata Integration Bridges:

To convert data from another application into a format supported by erwin Data Modeler, use the Import from External Format wizard. To convert data from a erwin Data Modeler model to a format supported by another application, use the Export to External Format wizard.
You use the Import from External Format wizard to do the following:
- Select the source data and other configuration parameters for the import in the Source page.
- Select the import configuration parameters for the data model data in the Destination page.
- Click the Finish button to complete the import process.
You use the Export to External Format wizard to do the following:
- Select the source data and other configuration parameters for the export in the Source page.
- Select the export data and configuration parameters for the export in the Destination page.
- Click the Finish button to complete the export process.
Before exporting, ensure that you save the model (even when you have not made any changes).
When you invoke either wizard for the first time, all fields are populated with default values. When you invoke either wizard again, the fields are populated with the values you entered previously.
