Generating OOM objects to a CDM

Generating OOM objects to a CDM

When you generate a Conceptual Data Model (CDM) from an Object- Oriented Model (OOM), PowerDesigner translates OOM objects and data types to CDM objects and data types.

The current object language of an OOM has no effect on the generation to a

CDM.

Translating OOM objects into CDM objects

CDM generation translates OOM objects into conceptual objects.
