Import Data Type Standards

If you have created data type standards in CA ERwin Data Modeler release 7.x or release 8.x, you can import the standards to CA ERwin Data Modeler version 9. Importing standards maintains consistency across all data models in your organization and saves time from creating standards.

Note: The file that you are importing must have a .DSM extension.

Follow these steps:

  1. Expand the Model Explorer, right-click DSM Options and select New.

    A new DSM Option object is added.

  2. Right-click the new object (or an existing object) and select Properties.

    The DSM Option Editor appears.

  3. Click Import Other.
  4. Select the .DSM file from the stored location and click Open.

    The DSM file is displayed as a new DSM Option object.
