For each operation, select the submodels you want to synchronize with the target model. The available
operations (update, delete) depend on the submodel chosen. If this is a frequently updated submodel, you may
want to save all the wizard settings in a Quick Launch file. The file will load your selections when you next use
the utility if you select it upon launching the utility. You can load the quick launch file and make changes to it and
then save the changes if you want.
Notes
• To make changes to both the source and target models, run the utility twice, reversing the source and target the
second time you run the utility.
• The available operations (update, delete) will depend on the submodel chosen and the differences that exist
between the source and target submodels. For example, if the source contains updates not reflected in the
target, then the update operation will be available.
Copying a Database Object to a Submodel (Apply to Submodel)
You can replicate database objects by copying the object and then pasting it to each submodel individually or you can
use the Apply to Submodel function to paste an object into multiple submodels within the same model simultaneously.
1 In either the Data Model Explorer or the Data Model Window, right-click the object you want to copy to one or
more submodels in the active model and then click Apply to Submodel.
2 In the Apply to Submodel dialog, individually select the submodels you want to copy the object to, or select the
model to copy the object to the main model and all submodels of the active model.
NOTE: In the Apply to Submodel dialog, clicking Place New Object Near Existing Objects prevents the
new object from being placed randomly in the Data Model Window. This can be important when
working with large models and submodels.
Establishing Database Security
Define and establish database security to, for example, inform data model reviewers and database administrators of
the security required for data model objects when these objects are implemented on a DBMS.
This section includes the following topics:
• Creating and Editing Database Users
• Creating and Editing Database Roles
• Associating Database Users with New Database Roles
• Associating Database Roles with New Database Users
• Changing Database Roles Associated with Existing Database Users
• Changing Database Users Associated with Existing Database Roles
• Granting and Revoking Permissions to Modify Database Objects
Creating and Editing Database Users
Granting database access, authorities, and privileges to users and groups is one of the most important ways to ensure
data security.
