Automated Conversion

The automated conversion uses the Update option on the CA ERwin Mart dialog. Your existing CA ERwin Data Modeler models in the old mart are converted to the new mart. All models are converted automatically at the same time.

The main advantage to this method is that it is automated. The disadvantage is that it takes a long time if your mart is large, or your client/server hardware is limited. The automated conversion must be done in the same database instance as your previous version. This may require more space than is available, or require you to move your old version of the mart, if you cannot create additional space.
