CA ERwin Model Manager Implementation Guide

Conversion ProcessConversion ProcessThe conversion systematically converts a mart, including all CA ERwin MMproperties and all client models.The time it takes to convert a mart varies for each installation. Server speed,size, complexity, and the number of models in the mart are several factorsthat influence conversion time.Property ConversionThe conversion process upgrades the following CA ERwin MM properties:■■■All user names and security profiles (even if the user no longer exists inthe database)All session informationAll libraries including the preservation of the complete library structureAccess information is not converted. Access information is stored internally fortracking purposes.Model Property ConversionThe model conversion process converts all CA ERwin Data Modeler and CAERwin Process Modeler model properties including the following:Model dataCA ERwin Data Modeler and CA ERwin Process Modeler models in the martare converted. The converted models are the same as if opening an .er1file with the upgraded client and saving the model to CA ERwin MM.All model objectsCA ERwin Data Modeler and CA ERwin Process Modeler accept all modelobjects from earlier versions.All object propertiesAll model properties such as object names and user-defined properties(UDPs) are fully retained.38 Implementation Guide
