  • 1.  Eclipse CA-IDMS/DB Schema Diagram Mapper

    Posted Jan 23, 2017 08:07 PM
      Hello Fellow IDMSers!
        For those that aren't aware; there exists a FREE Schema Diagram Mapper that has been available since 2013!
          Yes, it draws data diagrams from your CA-IDMS Schemas for you that can be printed.

         

        Steps to success:

          Download and Install Eclipse IDE for JAVA Developers. The mapper is a Eclipse Plug In. Like the schema mapper, it is free also as it is open source.

         

              Go to https://sites.google.com/site/idmsschemasineclipse/home  which is the home page for this product. It tells one       everything needed for the product:

         

         

        The tool takes Schema source as input that one must download to your Mac or Windows from the IDMS Dictionary.

         

        Once you go to the home page above, I recommend clicking on 'Documents' and follow the steps in the 'Getting started' Document:

        Following the steps in the 'Getting Started' Document will produce diagrams such as this one:

        I'm far from being an expert but if anyone has any basic questions, I will be happy to try to answer them.

         

        Many Kudos (thanks) to Luc Hermans from the European CA-IDMS User Group for developing AND providing this tool!

         

        Take good care,

        Hi Manfred,

        You are very welcome! I understand from reading his earlier post, that the author Luc is working on a direct connect to one's Central Version to get the schema information if you have JDBC or ODBC Access via the Web Connect or IDMS Server.

        Take good care,
