Re: Designer 6.0 Architecture

OK, from the Designer panel go into the Design Editor. Once there, select server model. Once there, you'll probably notice the "Server Model Guide" dialog box, which includes the Design Capture option. Click that. If you don't have a database user created in the server model, you'll be asked to create one or you can accept the defaults in the dialog box. From there, the "Capture Server Model from Database" dialog comes up and you can rev-eng three types of DBs, by direct connect to the DB using SQL*Net, from the DDL scripts, or via ODBC. If you have access to the DB, use direct from DB. You need to know the owner of the objects you are rev-engineering and you need to have access to those object with user id used to connect.

Good luck. If you any other questions, let me know.
