Following sections explain the reverse engineering options for Neo4j.
Overview
|
Parameter |
Description |
Additional Information |
|---|---|---|
| Reverse Engineer From | Specifies whether you want to reverse engineer from a script or database |
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's location | This option is available only when the Script File option is selected. |
Connection
|
Parameter |
Description |
Additional Information |
|---|---|---|
| Connection Method | Specifies the type of connection you want to use. Using Direct connects to your database directly. | |
| Hostname/IP |
Specifies the hostname or IP address of the server where your database is hosted in one of the following formats:
|
For example:
|
| Port | Specifies the port for your database based on your Hostname/IP mechanism |
Default port number is 7687. |
Other than the above Hostname/IP formats, Neo4j supports the Bolt+s://<IP address> format. However, erwin Data Modeler does not support it at the moment.
Databases
|
Parameter |
Description |
Additional Information |
|---|---|---|
| System Objects | Specifies whether system databases are included under the Available Databases | |
| Available Databases | Specifies a list of available databases | |
| Selected Databases | Specifies a list of selected databases for reverse engineering |
Label
|
Parameter |
Description |
Additional Information |
|---|---|---|
| Available Labels | Specifies a list of available labels in the selected databases | |
| Selected Labels | Specifies a list of selected labels for reverse engineering |
Option Set
|
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. Delete: Use this option to delete an option set. |
| <Option Set Name> | Specifies the objects to be reverse engineered according to the selected option set. You can edit this list. |
Detailed Options
|
Parameter |
Description |
Additional Information |
|---|---|---|
| NSM Options | Specifies the naming standard glossary file in the .CSV format | |
| 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 |
Scheduler
The options on this tab are available only while reverse engineering via erwin DM Scheduler.
|
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. |
|
Compare Level |
Specifies the selection type for the compare |
Logical / Physical: Compares all objects on the logical or physical level of a model Logical: Compares all objects on the logical level of a model Physical: Compares all objects on the physical level of a model Database: Compares all objects on the database level of a model |
erwin Project
|
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 |
