Changing the XML language of an XML model

If you change the XML language of an XML model, you have to define the status of the language:

XML
language	Description

Share	To use the shared XML language stored in the XML Languages
	directory of your installation. Any changes made to the XML
	language are available to the linked XML model
Copy	To create a copy of the XML language in the model. The current
	XML language is independent from the original XML language,
	so any changes made in the XML language are not available to
	other models. The XML language is saved with the model and
	cannot be used by other models

Caution

PowerDesigner is delivered with a set of XML languages. It is strongly advised to make a backup copy of each XML language before you start modifying them.

To change the XML language of an XML model:

1Select Language→Change Current Language. The Change XML Language dialog box appears.

2Select an XML language.

3Select the Share or Copy radio button.
