Defining Sybase WorkSpace Business Process Generation Parameters

You can set the following option, available from the Options tab of the Generation dialog box in Sybase WorkSpace Business Process:

Option

Description

Overwrite resource files (services, xsd, wsdl, java, map and ruleml)

These files are called resources in Sybase WorkSpace and are generated by PowerDesigner. You can choose to generate them once and not to overwrite them during next generations.

If the generated files have already been used in Sybase WorkSpace Business Process for implementation purpose, it is strongly recommended to avoid overwriting them the next time you generate from PowerDesigner as they may contain implementation details that may be lost during overwriting. Make sure you re-generate into a separate file or select the task "Increment version number of the generated files" in the Tasks tab.

Generation Task

The task "Increment version number of the generated files" can be used to add a version number to all the files generated from the current model. This is to avoid overwriting files that you have already started implementing in Sybase WorkSpace Business Process.

When you select this generation task, the GenerationVersionNumber extended attribute of the model and the service providers is automatically incremented each time you generate the model.

Generation Path

You must generate in an existing project folder, or in a folder at the Eclipse workspace root directory, in this case, this folder becomes a project folder. The following folder hierarchy is not allowed as folder1 is not a project folder:

d:\Sybase\WorkSpace\Eclipse\workspace\folder1\folder2
