Description:
When attempting to Reverse Engineer, after pressing NEXT on the "Reverse Engineer - Set Options" screen, connection window does not appear and process never begins. Blank diagram is opened.
Solution:
Resetting the erwin registry should resolve this issue. Here are the steps.
1. Close the erwin Data Modeler application:
2. Open the Registry Editor by going to Start->Run, and type in REGEDIT, click OK.
3. Go to the following path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\erwin\Data Modeler\9.X
Rename this so that it is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\erwin\Data Modeler\9.XOLD
4. Restart erwin Data Modeler.
After Data Modeler is launched, this process creates a new folder named 9.X which now uses the default parameters. The issue should now be resolved.
