The main reason for upgrading to PowerDesigner 10.0
For data modeling:
The latest technology in database analysis: PowerDesigner 10.0 Constantly innovating database analysis technology, today added IDEF 1 / x to make PowerDesigner more intuitive.
The most complete physical database modeling: PowerDesigner 10.0 provides more physical database design: new technologies for physical object management, support more data warehouse modeling (facts and dimensional views, bitmap combination index, query tables) and RDBMS latest version.
For corporate modeling:
Business process modeling innovation and improvement: PowerDesigner 10.0 improves business analysis by integrating Simul8 analog engines, and improving the service-oriented architecture (SOA) design and processes using BPEL4WS and EBXML bidirectional engineering.
Integrated a stronger development feature (supporting Microsoft .NET): PowerDesigner 10.0 adds full bidirectional engineering and C # and VB.NET and code for Visual Studio.NET in Model Synchronization Technology. Complete, customizable and extended UML support: PowerDesigner 10.0 uses full scriptized model drive architecture (MDA), more J2EE mode and template, .NET, and Web Services, better support UML analysis and design .
By model internal generation functions provide the highest teamwork efficiency: PowerDesigner 10.0 can more easily manage multiple construction models with a naming system. The implementation name can be converted automatically according to a specific criterion of the target RDBMS or language.
For each user:
It is easier to use: PowerDesigner 10.0 improves usage: new features (such as more convenient software package manipulation and subflow management "Mobile Chart" wizard, can decompose process, and activity composite view, other new commands, and new functions.
Strong functional custom technology: PowerDesigner 10.0 Maintains its most powerful modeling tool, providing more scripts and API access functions, new event handler, etc.
XML modeling (a new method): PowerDesigner 10.0 adds a new module that is an XML design in its usual package. XML gives an XML DTD or Schema 1: 1 represented by a full bidirectional engineering and a mapping pointing to data and UML charts.
Improved metadata management in the corporate knowledge base: The Knowledge Base of PowerDesigner 10.0 contains new technologies for management models and improves overall performance.
Enhanced models and multi-model reports: PowerDesigner 10.0 makes HTML and RTF reports more powerful, high degree of customization, including PNG or JPEG images to make HTML reports optimal.
Software package
PowerDesigner is a modeling tool kit that meets different market needs.
DataArchitect and PhysicalArchitect: Meet the requirements of the visionary data modeling and database administrator (DBA). DataArchitect provides full data analysis and multi-layer design techniques with bidirectional engineering, as well as more than 45 RDBMs to provide detailed design functions. PhysicalArchitect assists database administrators (DBA) to process more basic management tasks.
Developer: Use full analysis and design support for all 9 UML charts to resolve the requirements of the object construction module. The PowerDesigner Developer is powerful, greatly improved Java (and J2EE), C #, VB.NET, XML developers, and work efficiency of PowerBuilder users.
Business Process Architect: Solve the needs of business analysts using non-professional business modeling technology. PowerDesigner improves business processes by modeling, designing and simulating these processes (via Simul8). Business Process Architect is the only business modeling solution with corporate knowledge base, technology modeling links, and support EBXML and BPEL4WS.
Objectarchitect and Studio: Meet the needs of the Enterprise Modeling group (IT manager or business manager must maintain centralized control of all metadata). By combining all the technical models in Objectarchitect or extending the technical model to business model (Studio), PowerDesigner increases the efficiency of contact and collaboration between enterprises. Studio also combines commercial and IT.
Viewer: You can access all PowerDesigner tools without all PowerDesigner licenses for non-editing users (copywriters, advanced technology managers, model users). Viewer is read-only tool, you can read any model, print model, and creation reports of the enterprise knowledge base. Enterprise Editions (DataArchitect Enterprise, ObjectArchitect Enterprise, Developer Enterprise, and Studio Enterprise): A enterprise knowledge base connection to each user. You can work together as a partner in the partner group to purchase or upgrade to any module.
