You reverse engineer web services from a database to a PDM, when you want to reuse these web services in the PDM. Once reverse engineered, you can modify and generate them in the database.
You can only reverse engineer web services from Sybase ASA, ASE, and IQ.
You can reverse engineer web services into a new or existing PDM from a script or live database connection via the Database Reverse Engineering dialog box.
For information about using the Database Reverse Engineering dialog box, see Reverse Engineering a Database into a PDM.
The following list shows how web service objects in these databases are treated in PowerDesigner:
