Each PDM is linked to a definition file that extends the standard PowerDesigner metamodel to provide objects, properties, data types, and generation parameters and templates specific to the language being modeled. Definition files and other resource files are XML files located in the Resource Files directory inside your installation directory, and can be opened and edited in the PowerDesigner Resource Editor.
We strongly recommend that you make a back up of the resource files delivered with PowerDesigner before editing them.
To open your model's definition file and review its extensions, select .
For detailed information about the format of these files, see Customizing and Extending PowerDesigner > DBMS Definition Files.
Some resource files are delivered with "Not Certified" in their names. Sybase® will perform all possible validation checks, however Sybase does not maintain specific environments to fully certify these resource files. Sybase will support the definition by accepting bug reports and will provide fixes as per standard policy, with the exception that there will be no final environmental validation of the fix. Users are invited to assist Sybase by testing fixes of the definition provided by Sybase and report any continuing inconsistencies.
