Sybase enhances the modeling function of PowerDesigner Studio, author Alan Zeichick October 1, 2002 - Sybase has completed updates to PowerDesigner Studio, which include a set of UML charts and enhancements to business process modeling functions. PowerDesigner Studio is Sybase Inc. modeling tools provided by the platform neutralized databases and applications. The new version is currently listed. David Dichman of the company modeling tool product manager said, "We think that the new market selling point - business modeling function is enhanced at version 9.5, while all nine UML charts issued, making it the first real Let us work with ROSE products in Rosel. "Dichman said, the original PowerDesigner is centered on methodology, now we use the new business process modeling module to develop this product, such as the use of data flow charts. Create a new way. "We will learn from the control flow model of the UML activity chart, but we will not force it to use UML semantics. For example, the" Organization Unit "is a person or business group, but in UML, it represents operations (Actor) .PowerDesigner 9.5 Allows the use of custom symbols in the business model. "The process is not necessarily expressed in ellipse", Dichman said, "If there is a flow of a telephone, you can also use the image of the phone. "Business Process Modeling Program can also generate and read EBXML documentation." We will use this as one of the main goals of business processes "," he said, if you add, if you add the use of the process server provided by Sybase to EBXML, "PowerDesigner will be able to generate EBXML and then use and implement it through (process server). "Just as Dichman has been introduced before, in terms of UML chart, the software has been able to handle five types of charts, and now add four charts, deployment, objects, and status maps." We also added a powerful The chart, although it is not in accordance with the UML specification, but very popular in some lightweight (such as iconix processes ". PowerDesigner also added UML configuration files, which is introduced, these profiles are similar to the business process diagram Define symbols, but the latter complies with UML configuration file guidelines. Dichman said, the model driver architecture of the object management group (Object Management Group) will be implemented in future versions. "This is the next direction of our next step" .dichman said, PowerDesigner 9.5 also generates J2EE code (including JSP) and creates Java and .Net. Web services. "We use style systems in PowerDesigner to generate these content. For example, when I created a component in a component chart, if I say it is a Java web service, the system can create the corresponding EJB class and the corresponding WSDL framework, and if I update the metadata, they will get the corresponding Update.
