Embarcadero ERStudio Configuration Properties

Embarcadero ERStudio Configuration Properties

Update the configuration properties when you create or edit an Embarcadero ERStudio resource.
The following table describes the configuration properties:
Property
Description
Agent URL
Host name and port number of the Metadata Manager Agent. You can use the Metadata Manager Agent installed on any machine.
Source system version
Name and version of the resource.
Always use latest source files
Metadata Manager uses the metadata source file in the location you provide each time you load the resource. If you enable this option, the path to the file must include an absolute path that is accessible from the Metadata Manager Agent machine. If you disable this option, Metadata Manager copies the metadata source file to the Metadata Manager application directory when you finish configuring the resource. Each time you load the resource, Metadata Manager uses the copied metadata source file in the Metadata Manager application directory.
Model selection
Type of model from which metadata is extracted. DM1 files have multiple independent models.
Select one of the following options:
  • Logical model. Select this option to extract metadata from logical models.
  • Physical model. Select for physical models and when the DM1 file has a combination of physical and logical models. You must specify the name of the model.
  • All models. Select this option to extract metadata from logical and physical models.
Default is Logical model.
Physical model name
Name of the physical model from which you want to extract metadata.
Skip UDP extraction
Prevents Metadata Manager from importing attachments, also called user-defined properties (UDPs), from ERStudio. If you enable this option, Metadata Manager does not import UDPs and does not display the
Import UDPs
property. Default is disabled.
Import UDPs
Defines how Metadata Manager imports attachments, also called user-defined properties (UDPs), from ERStudio. An attachment usually has a default value. The objects bound to the attachment can override it with an explicit value or reuse the default value.
Select one of the following options to specify how to import property definitions and values:
  • As metadata. Imports explicit values as Property Value objects. Default values are not imported. This option keeps the default value on the Property Type.
  • As metadata, migrate default values. Imports explicit and default values as Property Value objects.
  • In description, migrate default values. Appends the property name and value to the object description property for both explicit and implicit values.
  • Both, migrate default values. Imports the UDP value as metadata and in the object description property.
Default is as metadata.
Import owner schemas
Imports owner schemas. Select one of the following options:
  • True. Imports owner schemas for tables, views, and other database objects. Select for physical models and when the DM1 file has a combination of physical and logical models.
  • False. Ignores owner schemas for tables, views, and other database objects. Select for logical models.
Default is true.
Auto assign connections
Metadata Manager configures connection assignments to relational database resource types during the resource load. If you disable this option, configure connection assignments in the resource properties after you create the resource.
File
The DM1 file that you want to import.
