Migrating model data from erwin DM to erwin EA Agile
Migrating model data from erwin DM to erwin EA Agile
Role Applicable to: Administrator
Logical data models can be moved into erwin EA Agile from the erwin Data Modeler tool. Users and interested stakeholders can then link the entity model objects into the rest of the enterprise architecture.
To do this
1. In erwin DM, use the File > Save As option to save the model.
Before saving, select the 'Save as type' option to be XML Standard (*.xml)
2. We can then import this xml file into the erwin EA tool
Log-in to the erwin EA tool as an administrator
Select the User menu > Bulk Actions > Erwin Import option
Select the Workspace you would like to import the model data into
Select the 'Click to Upload' button to upload the model xml file
Click the Import button in the bottom right hand corner
Once complete, a message will be displayed to you, telling you the objects that have been created.
After you have run the import, if you go into the object list menu, you will be able to see the entity objects have been imported, along with their attributes and relationships.
IMPORTANT: The erwin Import v1 is only additive, meaning an existing entity will be updated with new attributes and relationships on further imports. Attributes or relationships that have been removed from an entity in the erwin model will not be removed from the erwin EA model on further imports (the user will need to remove these, using the entity relationship diagram in erwin EA). Import and update is based on matching the object name.
