Converting Pacbase instances

You can import your Pacbase entities into another model such as the PDP model.

Before you begin
You need to have entities imported from a Pacbase database in a connection repository.
About this task
Converting entities to PDP model means that you import your entities in the Design explorer view in the Design perspective for updates.
  1. To do this, open the Pacbase Explorer view in the Pacbase perspective.
  2. Open an existing connection repository and right-click in the list of entities. In the popup menu that opens up, select Convert > Convert to PDP model. The wizard that opens looks like this following one:
    You find in sub-branches, the list of the instances you have imported locally in your connection repository and the one(s) you have selected in the view.
  3. On the first window of the wizard, check the entities you want to convert or click All if you want to select of all them. Click None to cancel a selection. Check Convert already present dependent entities to convert also the associated entities. For example, if you select the 'AA' Data element, the Segment 'AA00' will be converted too. Then, click Next.
  4. On the next window, you must indicate a location and the project in which the resources will be saved.
  5. Then, click Finish and the convert process starts running. The window closes at the end of the process.
Results
The selected instances are imported into the location you have specified, in the Design Explorer view of the Design perspective:

They are also physically distributed into a specified project or into a structure of projects, as you can see in the Navigator view of the Design perspective:
