Transforming a physical data model into a logical data model

Use the Transform to Logical Data Model wizard to transform a physical data model into a logical data model.
Prerequisites:

To transform a physical data model into a logical data model:

  1. Select a physical data model or a physical data model object in the Data Project Explorer. You can transform from an .pdm file, a database, a schema, or a table.
  2. Click Data > Transform > Logical Data Model from the main menu. As an alternative, you can click the Transform to Logical Data Model toolbar button on the main toolbar.
  3. On the first page of the wizard, specify whether to create a new logical data model or update an existing logical data model.
  4. Complete the remaining steps of the wizard.
If you selected to create a new logical data model, the logical data model is created and displayed in the Data Models folder of the data design project that you specified. If you selected to update an existing logical data model, the compare editor opens so that you can merge changes.
