Hi Folks,
I'm quite new to PowerDesigner and have been working on generating a HANA database from MS SQLServer.
Currently I've been able to import a source SQLServer system as a Physical Data Model in PowerDesigner. I was then able to generate SQL DDL scripts to generate the DB manually in HANA, and I also watched a video about how to generate the DB directly in HANA via a connection to the repository which seems straightforward.
The challenge that I'm current facing is how to alter the entire PDM to make *all* tables of type "column" rather than "row". Since SQLServer was the source system, rather than HANA, PowerDesigner appears to default to row store... (shouldn't PD's default storage type for HANA DB's be column store by default? This make substantially more sense than row store by default... but I'm digressing.)
I can see how to do this on a table-by-table basis, but haven't yet figured out how to cascade this setting to the whole PDM. Any assistance would be very much appreciated!
I also tried following this documentation, which didn't help much... it doesn't correspond with the windows/tabs/options that I'm seeing in PD 16.5 - http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.infocenter.dc38058.1653/doc/html/oba1320752560336.html
Thanks!
