LIMITATIONS
When importing from a multi model source technology (e.g. a database server with multiple databases or schemas), only one model (e.g. schema) is exported. Therefore, limit the import scope to a single model (e.g. subset one schema of a database).
Refer to the current general known limitations at MIMB Known Limitations or bundled in Documentation/ReadMe/MIMBKnownLimitations.html
SUPPORT
Provide a troubleshooting package with debug log. Debug log can be set in the UI or in conf/conf.properties with MIR_LOG_LEVEL=6
Bridge Parameters
| Parameter Name | Description | Type | Values | Default | Scope | |||||||||||
| File | Specify here the Embarcadero ER/Studio DM1 file to export. | FILE | *.dm1 | Mandatory | ||||||||||||
| Version | Select here the version of ER/Studio you want to use. | ENUMERATED |
|
Latest | ||||||||||||
| Create dimensional model | Enables the dimensional modeling features of ER/Studio for this model and exports the tables dimensional type properties. | BOOLEAN | False | |||||||||||||
| Encoding | Specifies the character set encoding of the DM1 file to generate. | ENUMERATED |
|
windows-1252 | ||||||||||||
| Summary lineage | Controls how ETL summary mappings are exported to ER/Studio. ETL mapping metadata is generally imported and summarized at the level of OMG CWM Activities (Informatica Workflow, DataStage Container). Such ETL Activity summary indicates which source tables and columns are related to which target tables and columns, whenever summarization is possible. ETL Activity summary is represented in ER/Studio as a DataFlow, and it may contain a large number of source and target table components. 'Activity driven' The Activity is represented with only one ER/Studio Transformation, with many source and target tables. 'Target table driven' The Activity is decomposed into many ER/Studio Transformations, one for each target table. 'Source table driven' The Activity is decomposed into many ER/Studio Transformations, one for each source table. 'Target column driven' The Activity is decomposed into many ER/Studio Transformations, one for each target column. 'Source column driven' The Activity is decomposed into many ER/Studio Transformations, one for each source column. 'None' No DataFlow or Transformation is created, only source and target models and tables are created. |
ENUMERATED |
|
Target table driven | ||||||||||||
| Convert Foreign Key Indexes | Specifies whether the Foreign Key Indexes are converted to ER/Studio. 'False' Foreign Key Indexes are not converted to ER/Studio. 'True' Foreign Key Indexes are converted to ER/Studio. |
BOOLEAN | False | |||||||||||||
| Connection | Allows selecting a connection by name, if the source model contains multiple database connections. If the source model contains multiple connections and this parameter value is left empty, the connection with the most objects is selected. |
