Logical Modeling

• Model entities, attributes, relations and entity type hierarchies

• Transform logical to many relational and multi-dimensional models

• Configurable forward and reverse engineering

• Provide different modeling notations and displays of same model

• Use subviews to work on subset of model

Logical Modeling

• Model external agents, processes, information flow and information stores

• Different process types: primitive, composite and transformation

• Decompose a process into lower level DFDs

• Depict information flow from one object to another

Synchronization

• “Easy synchronization" – One click synchronization

between model and dictionary• Support for several connections• Supports synchronization in both directions • List of values/ranges can be extracted from column check

constraint • Can exclude tracking of column order when tables are

compared• No need to recreate table as alter statements are generated
