Notes:
The CA ERwin Data Modeler licensing functionality has been enhanced to include the following types of licenses:
Is stored on your local computer. This license lets you use CA ERwin Data Modeler only from your computer.
Locks to your License Server. With this license, you can access CA ERwin Data Modeler from any computer that is in the same network. This license is checked out from the License Server.
You can have Local and Concurrent licenses for CA ERwin Data Modeler Standard and Workgroup Editions.
If you are using the concurrent licensing model, the licenses are stored on a License Server. You can install the License Server when you install CA ERwin Data Modeler. For more information about how to install the License Server, see the Installation Guide.
New model templates were added to CA ERwin Data Modeler to facilitate easier and consistent creation and maintenance of data models. In addition to the model template files used in previous releases (*.erwin_tmpl), which can still be used, r8.2 model template files use the *.erwin extension. You can use either *.erwin_tmpl or *.erwin extensions as a template for creating models. However, to achieve synchronization of model objects between a model template and a data model, you bind the model template to the model.
Model template functionality includes:
Bind, unbind and rebind model template
To use a model template for a model, you bind the model template to the model. At any time you can unbind, or remove, the model template. Whenever you open a model with a bound model template, confirm whether to synchronize any model template changes with the objects used in the model.
Detection of model template changes
Whenever you open a model with a bound model template, confirm whether to synchronize any model template changes with the objects used in the model. You can also refresh your model with any model template changes at any time using the Refresh Template option.
Filtering of template objects
Filters the object display in the Model Template dialog. Filtering the objects to create a shorter list makes it easier for you to define the model objects that you want in your template.
Importing new template objects
When you change a model template, or want to include objects in a model template you previously did not include, refresh the model template.
Synchronization of model objects
Any changes you make to a model template are synchronized with the models that use the template in the Model Template Synchronization Wizard. You can select the Synchronize on Model Load option so that when a model is opened, you can review model template changes.
Template removal
You can delete model templates. Any objects brought in to a model by the template can remain in the model, or you can remove them when the template is unbound. If you keep the objects, any changes made to the objects are performed directly in the model because the template no longer exists.
Reporting
Use the Query Tool to report on model template objects.
You can now export your models to Meta Integration Repository (MIR)-XMI format using the Publish to ERwin Web Portal menu option. This feature lets you publish your models to a web portal.
CA ERwin Data Modeler has been updated to support Meta Integration® Model Bridge (MIMB) version 7.0.1 from Meta Integration® Technology, Inc. You can access the bridges when you click Import, From External Format or Export, To External Format on the File menu.
The full list of supported import and export bridges is documented in Appendix B of the CA ERwin Data Modeler Implementation Guide. This guide is available on the ERwin Bookshelf, which is accessible from the Start menu.
