Setting Up the Model Category Set File

Set up PowerDesigner to use the ESP category set for new models.

PowerDesigner can display only one set of categories in the New Model dialog. While not required, using the ESP category makes it easier to develop models for use with Event Stream Processor.

Decide which option you want to use to create new models:

Option	Action required
Only the installed ESP category set	Change categories
ESP category set merged with existing categories	Merge ESP categories
Neither	Manually extend any models

Merging ESP Categories
When you create a new model using categories, you can see the existing categories, as well as the three standard ESP categories. You can merge existing model categories with the ESP category.
Changing the Default Category
Change the default category to the ESP category, so that you can create new ESP models.
