PowerDesigner Link & Sync Technology - SybaseLearn how PowerDesigner's Link & Sync capabilities facilitates metadata sharing for enterprises as they define requirements, analyze businesses processes and model data. http://www.sybase.com [Video Transcript] Hi my name is Dimitri Volkmann and today were going to be talking about bottling and model management this is what Power Designer is all about. We will be focusing on the link and sync technology this is the key area for Power Designer. Why does Model data management matter for IT? Model data management matters because its going to help you achieve two key things. The first one is the alignment between your business goal and your IT. Thats the key purpose when you talk about model data management. The second important element is its enabling response to change whether change is in technology or your competitors, your business, whatever. So that seems to make a lot of sense and once youve done those two things, youve achieved agility and thats really what you want to have in your business today. So, why isnt everybody doing that? Now, to understand one of the key issues and the problems behind achieving agility for model data management, lets look at what the classic process companies go through once they design your applications. The first thing you are going to do when you design your application is you are going to look into the requirements. What the application, what the software actually do for my business. Those requirements, most of the time I try to capture in free text. So lot of people will use tools like word for requirement gathering there are some tools on the market for that. So lets say you have tool A here. Once youve learned the requirements, usually most companies look into their business processes, so they will look into business process management. BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT has been in the field for quite some time and there are a number of tools that exist for that. So, lets say youre going to be using a second tool here, Tool B. So Requirements, Business Process. Usually the next step is to get data, so in order to get data, youre probably going to get data models. Weve been doing data models for a number of years, This is actually where Power Designer started, originally, so youre going to be using a tool for that as well, so lets create Tool C here. So weve gone through the designer application of our software and we have requirements, Business Process Management, and Data models. Now the problem is, because we have been using different tools, we have Silos, and Silos means no agility and thats the tough part. So this is what Power Designer is going to achieve with the link and sync technology. So lets move on a little and see what Power Designer has in terms of Model data management. You dont have the complete model here but you already have a more refined one. So youre going to see the requirements here the business process management, the data models, and the UML model as well. What is important in this diagram is the links that exist. The blue links are actually dependencies. Those dependencies will be captured during the course of capturing the model data. So for example youre defining your business process model, once youve done that youre probably going to find out these processes probably produces or consumes data, so you can capture that and those data will go into the data model, so thats the dependencies of Power Designer creating between the model data. The red arrows here are trade generation links, so Power Designer regeneration capabilities. So once you have a data model you can generate a default UML diagram for instance. Once you do that again, it will not only create a diagram but it will also recreate the relationship between those model data. The circles with brown arrows are the codes that Power Designer generates. PD generates codes from data, from the data searcher, from applications from UML and also from Business Process Model Language. code pour embarquer la vidéo : >>> http://www.youtube.com/embed/96B1SkfE908 <<< |
