Reverse-Engineer from Database

There is a known limitation in CA ERwin Data Modeler r8 when you reverse-engineer from a database and select the System Objects option in the Reverse Engineer – Set Options dialog. You may exceed the memory that CA ERwin Data Modeler requires to operate, which can cause the application to end. This is because the database you are attempting to reverse-engineer is too large (it contains very large amount of objects such as tables, columns, and views, and is directly related to the amount of of data stored). To avoid this issue, we recommend using only the reverse-engineer options required - any objects that you do not need to reverse-engineer should not be selected for this process, and not selecting the System Objects option will help to alleviate this issue.
