Single State Transformations

Use the following steps to become familiar with single state transformations.

1. Open one of your existing r7.x models containing live transforms.
2. CA ERwin Data Modeler r8 launches the Model Upgrade Wizard that will help you in the model upgrade process. Read the Overview information before proceeding.
3. Click Main Subject Area from the list on the left. Check the <Main Subject Area> Upgrade Options if you want to keep the Main Subject Area and its diagrams in the upgraded model. Also select the Apply a default theme to each diagram option to maintain theme consistency after the upgrade.
4. Click Transforms from the list on the left hand side. Select from the options available one-by-one and read the associated information in the text box. For this tour, select the Resolve all transforms option and click Continue.
5. The upgrade process completes successfully. Close the Post Load Upgrade dialog and note.
6. In the Model Explorer, notice that no Transformation objects are created (as opposed to Transform objects in r7.x), and thus no live updates of source and target objects are maintained. In the diagram area, verify that all of the transforms have been resolved and only the target objects are visible. Close and save the model for later use.
