Creating an ERwin Resource

Creating an ERwin Resource

Before you create an ERwin resource, configure the ERwin source.
If you create an ERwin 9.0 (Single Model from Mart) resource, the Mart database must be a Microsoft SQL Server database. You cannot create an ERwin 9.0 (Single Model from Mart) resource if the Mart database is an Oracle database. Oracle Mart databases are supported with ERwin 9.1 and later.
  1. On the
    Load
    tab, click
    Actions
    New Resource
    .
    The
    Resource Selection
    window appears.
  2. Click
    Data Modeling
    ERwin
    .
  3. Click
    Next
    .
    The
    Properties
    page appears.
  4. Enter the following information:
    Property
    Description
    Name
    Name for the resource. The resource appears in the
    Resources
    panel with this name. The name must be unique and have from one through 256 characters. It cannot include the following characters:
    / \ : * ' ? " < > | [ ]
    Description
    Description for the resource. Description cannot exceed 4000 characters.
    Hide in Summary Lineage
    Hides the resource in the summary view of data lineage diagrams.
    Enable this option to hide the resource and its child objects in the summary view. Disable this option to display the resource and its child objects in the summary view.
    Default is disabled.
  5. Click
    Next.
    The
    Configuration
    page appears.
  6. Enter the configuration properties.
  7. Click
    Test Connection
    .
    If the source system version is ERwin 7.x Data Modeler (Model Manager), ERwin 7.3 Data Modeler (Model Manager on Oracle), or ERwin 7.3 Data Modeler (Model Manager on SQL Server), Metadata Manager tests the connection to ERwin Data Modeler and validates the Metadata Manager Agent URL.
    If the source system version is any other ERwin version, Metadata Manager validates the Metadata Manager Agent URL. If you configured Metadata Manager to use the latest source file, Metadata Manager also validates that the source file exists in the specified path. If the XML source file is uploaded to Metadata Manager, Metadata Manager validates that the file is compatible with the resource type and version.
    If Metadata Manager cannot validate the connection, an error message appears. Correct any error and test the connection again.
  8. Click
    Next.
    The
    Schedules
    page appears.
  9. To add a schedule, select
    Attach a Schedule
    and select a schedule in the
    Schedule
    list.
    If you have not created a schedule, you can assign a schedule to a resource after you create the resource.
  10. Click
    Finish
    .
The resource appears in the
Resources
panel on the
Load
tab.
