Showing a Dependent Data Item in a BPM to CDM

In my last post, I was looking at how to link a Business Process Model to the data that it will use. In the screen shot here, I am showing that the BPM defined a Data Item called Order. This data item has been Exported with PowerDesigner to the Conceptual Data Model. The concept of Order can now be fulfulled within the CDM as an Order Entity which will become the logical Order Item and finally a Table called Order in the Physical Data Model.

Hope this screen shot is accurate enough of the view... it is hard to show these things in one screen shot. Will get a screen shot of the export process when there is a collision of an existing CDM next. Until then...
