You can use the workbench to create submodels from existing packages
in a logical data model. This is one way to partition a large logical data
model when you are working in a team environment.
Before you begin
Prerequisite: Before you modify a logical data model, you must
open the model in the logical data model editor.
About this task
To create a submodel from a package in a logical data model:
- Select a package in the Data Project Explorer. You can
select any package except for the root package of the model.
- Right-click the package and select Create Submodel from
Package.
Results
The submodel is created and displayed in the Data Project Explorer
as a new .ldm file, with the same name as the original package. A shortcut
to the submodel is displayed under the main model, and the package icon changes
to indicate that the package object

has been changed to a shortcut to a submodel

.
