Import an ERP File

When you use the Report Template Builder with ERwin Data Modeler, you can import components from a report created in the ERwin Report Browser Version 3.5.3 or the ERwin Data Modeler Data Browser Version 4.0 or later using the Import from ERP feature. Once you have imported the *.erp file and saved it as a *.rtb file, you can use it to generate a report against the open model.

To import an ERP file

1. Click Report Template Builder, Report Builder from the Tools menu.

   The Report Templates dialog opens.

2. Select the *.erp file that you want to import from the Available Templates list, or click the Browse button to locate the *.erp file in another directory, and then click the Edit button.

3. Select the components that you want to import, or click the Select All button to select all components, and then click OK to complete the import.

   The Report Template Builder dialog opens.

   The Report Template Builder - Save As dialog opens.

5. Select a name for your new report template and then click the Save button to save it in the directory you select (the default is the Reports directory).

   The Report Template Builder - Save As dialog closes, the file is saved and can now be used to generate reports.
