Import a DDL file into a database modeling tool

To import a DDL file into a database modeling tool, this example uses Erwin Data Modeler. Other tools may have different steps.

  1. From the Erwin Data Modeler, click File > Open.
  2. Change the file type to SQL DDL.
  3. Browse to locate the DDL file.

    By default, Service Manager stores these files at the root level of the client installation folder.
    For example: ..\Program Files\HP\Service Manager x.xx\Client\.

  4. Click the file to select, and then click Open.

    The Erwin Data Modeler displays the Reverse Engineer - Select Template wizard.

  5. Modify the settings in the Target Database section, as follows:
    • Select the appropriate Database.
    • Select the appropriate Version.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Select the appropriate values.
  8. Click Next.

    The resulting Entity Relationship Diagram opens. You can use the Zoom tool to view the content of each entity in the diagram.
