If you have any questions, corrections or find other ways to use PowerDesigner more effectively, please let me know.

The things you’ll encounter first, and probably have questions about, like I did, are presented in that order. With capabilities such as data modeling, link and sync, and metadata management, you can automatically capture architecture layers and requirements, tap into a powerful metadata repository, and share discoveries with your team. The PowerDesigner reference is divided into three parts. The reference is specifically oriented for IBM PureData System for Analytics (Netezza). I knew very little about PowerDesigner when I began compiling the material. I built it up as I went. So, for Data Architects making a transition from ERwin to PowerDesigner, it should prove helpful. Set the foundation for digital transformation success with enterprise data tools. With capabilities such as data modeling, link and sync, and metadata management, you can immediately capture architecture layers and requirements, tap into a powerful metadata repository, and share discoveries with your team.

Here is a link to my Data Modeling with PowerDesigner Part 1 document. It contains the PowerDesigner knowledge I’ve gathered over several years of professional work. The document has a lot of helpful information at the Data Architect and Modeler level. Whenever I have a question, this is where I go. I’m making it available to others to provide expert understanding, and problem solving/resolution skills gained from personal experience.
