ERwin 7.x, 8.x, and 9.x (File) Configuration Properties

Update the configuration properties when you create or edit an ERwin 7.x, 8.x, or 9.x (File) resource.

The following table describes the configuration properties:

Property	Description
Agent URL	Host name and port number of the Metadata Manager Agent.
Source system version	Version of ERwin that you used to export the metadata source file or the version of the ERwin Data Modeler to which you want to connect.
Always use latest source files	The Metadata Manager Agent 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, the Metadata Manager Agent copies the metadata source file to the Metadata Manager application directory when you finish configuring the resource. Each time you load the resource, the Metadata Manager Agent uses the copied metadata source file in the Metadata Manager application directory.
Import UDPs	Specifies how the Metadata Manager Agent imports property definitions and values for user-defined properties (UDPs) from ERwin. In ERwin, a user-defined property is a property definition object that has a default value. The object to which the UDP applies can have an explicit value or no assigned value. If it has no assigned value, ERwin assigns the default value of the property definition to the UDP. Select one of the following options to specify how to import property definitions and values: As metadata. Imports explicit values as Property Value objects. This option keeps the default value on the Property Type. Implicit values are not imported. As metadata, migrate default values. Imports explicit and implicit values as Property Value objects. In description, migrate default values. Appends the property name and value to the object description property, for explicit and implicit values. Both, migrate default values. Imports the UDP value as metadata and in the object description.
Import relationship name	Specifies how to import the relationship names from ERwin. Select one of the following options: From relationship name. Use the relationship name property. From relationship description. Use the relationship description property. Use this option to give more descriptive names to relationships. Default is from relationship name.
Import column order from	Specifies how to import the order of columns in tables. Specify one of the following values: Column order. Imports based on the order of the columns displayed in the ERwin physical view. Physical order. Imports based on the order of the columns in the database, as generated in the SQL DLL. Default is physical order.
Import owner schemas	Imports owner schemas. Specify one of the following values: True. Imports the owner schema for tables, views, and other database objects False. Ignores the owner schema for all database objects. Default is true.
Import diagrams	Specifies how the Metadata Manager Agent imports diagrams. Specify one of the following values: None. The Metadata Manager Agent imports no diagrams. Current view. The Metadata Manager Agent imports the current view of each diagram. All. The Metadata Manager Agent imports diagrams twice, once for the logical view and once for the physical view. Default is current view.
Move entities to subject areas	Specifies whether to move entities to user-defined subject areas. Set this option to true if the ERwin modeler uses subject areas as conventional (UML) design packages with their own namespace and if each entity belongs to one subject area. Specify one of the following values: True. The Metadata Manager Agent places the entities in the corresponding package. It places other entities under the model. False. The Metadata Manager Agent does not move entities to subject areas. Default is false.
Auto assign connections	The Metadata Manager Agent configures connection assignments to relational database resource types during the resource load. If you disable this option, you must configure connection assignments in the resource properties after you create the resource.
File	ERX, ER1, erwin, or XML source file you exported from ERwin. To parse the ER1 and erwin files, install ERwin on the same machine on which the Metadata Manager Agent runs.
