Bridge Parameters

Parameter Name Description Type Values Default Scope
File Generates a Rational Rose native MDL file. To load the converted model:

1. 'Open' from the 'File' menu of Rational Rose Data Modeler.
2. Navigate to the file you want to open.
3. Select the Class diagram you want to display.
4. Choose 'Layout Diagram' from the 'Format' menu.
5. Choose 'Autosize all' from the 'Format' menu.
FILE *.mdl   Mandatory
Select object model data types Import attribute or argument types:

'Rose C++'

'Rose Java'

'Rose Data Modeler'
ENUMERATED

Select object and/or data models Specify if the imported model will contain:

'Object model only'

'Data model only'

'Object model and data model'
ENUMERATED
Object model and data model
Data model only
Object model only
Object model and data model  
Select data model target database The target database that will be used for the data model.

'Auto detect'
Auto-detect the target database from the originating model.
ENUMERATED

ANSI SQL 92
IBM DB2 5.x
IBM DB2 6.x
IBM DB2 OS390 5.x
IBM DB2 OS390 6.x
Microsoft SQL Server 6.x
Microsoft SQL Server 7.x
Oracle 7.x
Oracle 8.x
Sybase Adaptive Server 12.x
Auto detect  
Export Foreign key attributes Export Foreign key attributes:

'True'

'False'
The Foreign key attribute will not be created.
BOOLEAN   False  
Generate Qualifiers (for object model only) Generate qualifier to represent Foreign key attributes.

'True'
Superseeds the 'Export Foreign key attributes' option.

'False'
BOOLEAN   False  
Show constraint in diagram Show Association and Association Role constraints in diagram. BOOLEAN   False  
Use graphical information Use the graphical information when available to display the classes. BOOLEAN   True  
X Scale (in %) for object model diagram When graphical information is imported from another tool, it may be useful to adjust the scale of diagrams to better suit the destination tool diagramming conventions.

Controls the horizontal scaling (by percentage) applied to X coordinates in diagrams.

The default value is 100% (i.e no change), 200% doubles the size, 50% halves the size.
NUMERIC   100  
Y Scale (in %) for object model diagram When graphical information is imported from another tool, it may be useful to adjust the scale of diagrams to better suit the destination tool diagramming conventions.

Controls the vertical scaling (by percentage) applied to Y coordinates in diagrams.

The default value is 100% (i.e no change), 200% doubles the size, 50% halves the size.
NUMERIC   100  
X Scale (in %) for data model diagram When graphical information is imported from another tool, it may be useful to adjust the scale of diagrams to better suit the destination tool diagramming conventions.

Controls the horizontal scaling (by percentage) applied to X coordinates in diagrams.

The default value is 100% (i.e no change), 200% doubles the size, 50% halves the size.
NUMERIC   100  
Y Scale (in %) for data model diagram When graphical information is imported from another tool, it may be useful to adjust the scale of diagrams to better suit the destination tool diagramming conventions.

Controls the vertical scaling (by percentage) applied to Y coordinates in diagrams.

The default value is 100% (i.e no change), 200% doubles the size, 50% halves the size.
NUMERIC   100  
XML Indentation (pretty printing) Controls the pretty printing of XML, for the purpose of opening the generated file in a text editor. E.g.

'space characters'
Several space characters as indentation.

'tab key'
Tab character as indentation.

'empty'
No indentation which leads to a more compact file.
BOOLEAN   True  
Export graphical information By default, this bridge will create graphical information for all the objects.
When exporting large models, in order to reduce the size of the generated model do not export the graphical information.
BOOLEAN   True
