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
Before you modify a logical data model, you
must open the model in the logical data model editor.
Procedure
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

.
