Prepare your encyclopedia for conversion before running the conversion program.
Models and Subject Areas
This conversion process converts all data models in the encyclopedia to ‘subject area’ diagrams reporting to a default Model definition that is named Data Model. When the conversion process is complete, you can rename the Model, and/or create a ‘Model’ entity relation diagram.
Referential Integrity
Improved referential integrity in System Architect enforces that a relationship line in a data model must be connected to a symbol at both ends. This conversion routine looks for lines that are drawn close to, but not connected to, symbols and connects them. Lines whose unconnected end is not close to any particular symbol are deleted.
In addition, this conversion process will convert or delete symbol types that are supported differently in System Architect’s data modeling.
