erwin Data Modeler Editions
The following editions of erwin Data Modeler are available:
Academic Edition
Standard Edition
Workgroup Edition
Navigator Edition
This Release Notes details new features, enhancements, updates, and known issues for all
editions of erwin Data Modeler.
Note: The features of erwin Data Modeler that are available to you depend on the edition
that you are using. For more information about the differences between versions, click one
of the Edition links.

8
Standard Edition
erwin Data Modeler Standard Edition provides all the data modeling features used by Data
Architects, Data Administrators, and Application Administrators, but does not include any
workgroup modeling capabilities. You can use this edition as a standalone modeling tool,
and as a Workgroup Edition client that can access and work with data models stored in a
mart. When you enable data movement or dimensional modeling features, it provides a tool
for assisting Data Administrators and Capacity Managers design data warehouses. Partners
can use the API to create add-on solutions to erwin Data Modeler.

9
Workgroup Edition
erwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition provides all the data modeling features used by
Data Architects and also includes workgroup modeling capabilities used by Database Admin-
istrators, Application Administrators, and Application Owners. It provides conflict resolution,
versioning, security and standardization for multi-user modeling. Workgroup modeling oper-
ates in a client/server environment so processing is shared between the user client work-
station and the server where the models are stored. Users access the stored models through
a client, such as erwin Data Modeler. Models are held in a platform and network inde-
pendent database or mart that resides on a central server, using Microsoft SQL Server,
Oracle, or PostgreSQL as the host database.
The key features of erwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition include:

Web-based administrator (erwin Mart Administrator)

Helps the administrator administer the Mart. The administrator creates the Mart data-
base, installs and configures erwin Mart Administrator before users can connect to
the Mart. erwin Mart Administrator is hosted on a web server and is accessed through
an Internet browser.
Model change impact analysis
Provides a change summary showing the impact of changes and the history of the
affected model objects, allowing you to select which changes to apply to the model
repository.
Version management
Lets Data Architects store, access and analyze the history of a model and the changes
made to it, lock down specific versions, run difference reports between versions, and
seamlessly roll back models to previous states as required.
Concurrent model access with optional model locking
Allows multiple users to concurrently work on a given model without compromising
the integration and integrity of their parallel efforts.

10
The administrator installs the program and initializes the database on the DBMS server. The
administrator also has the responsibility of setting up the library structure in which models
are organized, and assigning security profiles to users. Administration overhead is relatively
low and proportional to the number and activity level of the users. After a model is saved to
the database, control of who can work on the model and how changes are saved to the
model is handled by security, making it possible for workgroups to work on large models
without confusion. erwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition supports many security and
administrative features related to its multiuser capabilities and the client/server envir-
onment in which it operates. For this reason, routine management is usually performed by a
dedicated administrator. Administrators can find detailed information regarding their tasks
and responsibilities in the erwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition Administration Guide.
You can also use erwin Data Modeler Navigator Edition as a client. Read-only access is per-
mitted to data models, so your workgroup can use this client to share information with oth-
ers without the risk that unauthorized changes might be saved to the mart.

11
Navigator Edition
erwin Data Modeler Navigator Edition provides a cost-effective way to provide read-only
access to models built with erwin Data Modeler for viewing and analysis. This edition does
not permit you to make any changes to models.
The key features of erwin Data Modeler Navigator Edition include:

Read-only access
Read-only access is provided to models created by erwin Data Modeler and it can also
be used as a Workgroup Edition client for viewing a data model stored in a mart. Use
the Navigator Edition to easily share model information without the risk of unau-
thorized changes to a model.
Navigation and Viewing
Provides those who need to view models, but not update them, full navigation and
viewing of data models.
Reporting and Publication
Offers reporting and printing capabilities that generate in a variety of formats, includ-
ing HTML and PDF.

12
Academic Edition
The Academic Edition is a time-limited edition and includes a limited number of features
from the main product. It is designed to help students to learn creating simple data models.

13
Sample Model
When you install erwin Data Modeler, two sample models, eMovies and Public-
ationSystemSample are installed. Use these models as examples to learn data modeling and
to learn how to use the tool.
These models are available in the following folder:
<install folder>\erwin\Data Modeler r9\BackupFiles\Samples\Stand-
ard

Note: If you access the sample model from the install folder, you must run the data mod-
eling tool as an administrator to open the eMovies model.

29
Administrator Server System Requirements
The disk space required for the administrative files used to create and manage the database
is separate from the disk space required to accommodate models on the server where the
database is located. Greater CPU speed, and more RAM and disk space result in better per-
formance.

30
DBMS Requirements
Before you install erwin Data Modeler to use a MartServer in a workgroup environment,
ensure that you are using a supported DBMS as your host server. This release supports the
following host DBMSs:

versions 2017 and 2019
PostgreSQL through release 9.6.2, certified on PostgreSQL 9.6.15, 10.10, and 11.5.
Additionally, PostgreSQL is certified as follows:
version 11.6 for Amazon RDS and Amazon Aurora
version 12.3 for Amazon RDS
To create, update, or delete a mart in erwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition, you must
have the following database rights:
For Microsoft SQL Server 2012, 2014, 2014 SP1, 2016, 2016 SP1, 2016 SP2, 2017, and
2019 you must be the database owner (dbo).
Notes:
The dbo is no longer required to have the sysadmin role.
The SQL Server 2012, 2014, 2014 SP1, 2016, 2016 SP1, 2016 SP2, 2017, and 2019
TRUSTWORTHY database property is no longer required for the mart. After you install
this product, you can optionally reset this property to OFF.
For Oracle, you must be the database schema owner and have the DBA role.
Before you install Mart on the server, verify that the DBMS environment is prepared for the
installation, and that the server system requirements meet at least the minimum spe-
cifications. At least one user with administrative privileges is available on the DBMS.
Note: The dbo role for Microsoft SQL Server is necessary only during the installation or
upgrade. You can strip the installer of the dbo role after the installation or upgrade is com-
plete.

31
For more information about preparing the DBMS environment, see the erwin Data Modeler
Workgroup Edition Implementation and Administration Guide.

32
Client Workstation Requirements
You must install erwin Data Modeler on each client workstation that needs to access the
Mart Server to connect to the Mart. It is recommended that client workstations have at
least 4 GB of RAM.
You can install erwin Data Modeler Navigator Edition as a client for erwin Data Modeler
Workgroup Edition.
Note: In a workgroup environment, erwin Data Modeler can connect to the Mart Server
with the same release version.

33
erwin Data Modeler Navigator Edition Requirements
If you plan to use erwin Data Modeler Navigator Edition, review the following requirements
to ensure your environment is set up properly.

34
Support for erwin Data Modeler Navigator Edition
erwin Data Modeler Navigator Edition is enabled for use with a mart-enabled version of
erwin Data Modeler (Workgroup Edition). Consult with your mart administrator for a GUEST
user permission to access models in erwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition.
You must use a supported DBMS. This release supports the following host DBMSs:
Oracle 12c or the certified versions 12c R2, 18c, and 19c
Microsoft SQL Server 2012, 2014, 2014 SP1, 2016, 2016 SP1, 2016 SP2, or the certified
versions 2017 and 2019
PostgreSQL through release 9.6.2, certified on PostgreSQL 9.6.15, 10.10, and 11.5
Additionally, PostgreSQL versions 11.6 and 12.3 are certified for Amazon RDS.

35
Installation Considerations for erwin Data Modeler Work-
group Edition
Review the following installation considerations before installing the product. For more
information about the installation process for a workgroup environment, see the erwin Data
Modeler Workgroup Edition Implementation Guide.
This section contains the following topics
erwin Data Modeler and Mart Release Numbers
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 onward Permissions
Specify Use of Foreign Characters With Microsoft SQL Server

36
erwin Data Modeler and Mart Release Numbers
You must install a Mart or must upgrade to a Mart that is of the same release number as
erwin DM. For example, install or upgrade to an r9.5.0 Mart when you install or upgrade to
erwin DM r9.5.0. Using different versions of erwin DM and Mart may lead to unexpected
results including corruption of the Mart database or the models. Therefore, we recommend
that you install the same release of the Mart and erwin DM.

37
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 onward Permissions
For SQL Server 2005 onward, you only need to have public assigned to save to the mart.
However, when the repository is on a SQL Server 2005 or above instance, you need to have
the bulkadmin permission designated as well. The ability to do bulk inserts (which was per-
mitted by public, previously) is no longer part of the public permission. You must explicitly
define this permission or when you attempt to save a model to a new mart instance created
using a SQL Server 2005 or above database, an error "You do not have permission to use the
bulk load statement." is returned.

38
Specify Use of Foreign Characters With Microsoft SQL Server
For Microsoft SQL Server modify your registry settings to have certain foreign language
characters in your models recognized.
Follow these steps:
1. Click Run on the Start menu.
2. Enter regedit.
The Registry Editor opens.
3. Verify or add the following registry entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Client\DB-Lib]
"AutoAnsiToOem"="ON"
"UseIntlSettings"="ON"
4. Click File, Exit.
Your configuration is set to recognize foreign language characters in your models.

Workgroup Edition
The following sections contain general information you should know before using erwin
Data Modeler in a workgroup environment.
This section contains the following topics
Model Display in the Difference Reconciliation Dialog
Uninstalling erwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition

42
Model Display in the Difference Reconciliation Dialog
In a workgroup modeling environment, two users may check out and make changes to the
same model. The first user may make changes to the model and save the changes to the
mart. When the second modeler makes changes and saves them to the mart, the Difference
Reconciliation dialog is displayed. You use features in this dialog to view the differences on
the object level, the more detailed property level, or search the text of the comparison lists.
Note: In the Difference Reconciliation dialog, the model in the left pane is the current
model that you are checking in to the mart. The model in the right pane is the version of the
model already in the mart.

43
Uninstalling erwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition
You can use the Windows uninstall utility to uninstall erwin Data Modeler. However, when
you uninstall erwin Data Modeler in a workgroup environment, the mart database remains
intact. To remove the database from your computer, delete the mart database first, and
then uninstall erwin Data Modeler.

Model Display in the Difference Reconciliation Dialog
In a workgroup modeling environment, two users may check out and make changes to the
same model. The first user may make changes to the model and save the changes to the
mart. When the second modeler makes changes and saves them to the mart, the Difference
Reconciliation dialog is displayed. You use features in this dialog to view the differences on
the object level, the more detailed property level, or search the text of the comparison lists.
Note: In the Difference Reconciliation dialog, the model in the left pane is the current
model that you are checking in to the mart. The model in the right pane is the version of the
model already in the mart.

46
Help Files
The context sensitive online help in erwin Data Modeler Navigator Edition is identical to the
online help in erwin Data Modeler. This means that the online help may discuss capabilities
such as saving a model that is not possible in the erwin Data Modeler Navigator Edition
product.

Owner Name not Displayed while Sorting a Guided Editor's list of Objects

49
RedShift FE - Few functions do not execute from erwin DM FE Wiz-
ard
Due to a limitation in the driver, few SQL language functions do not execute in DB from
erwin DM FE wizard. However, the same functions work in the DB client.

50
Redshift REC - Comments are Truncated at 65536 Characters
Due to an ODBC restriction, all comments are limited to 65536 characters. In addition to
this, retrieval of large number of characters in comments or SQL text, requires one to
change the following under ODBC settings > Data Type Options:
Increase the value of Max Varchar.
Clear the Use Unicode option.
Note: To retrieve the maximum length of the object names, select the Use Unicode
option. At a time, you can choose to either retrieve large number of characters in
comments/SQL text or object names.

51
Redshift REC - Properties of Library Object are not Retrieved
Due to unavailability of system tables to store library properties, the properties of a Redshift
Library object are not retrieved.

52
RedShift REC-Column Values need to Follow the Exact Order
According to Partition Specification
Column values are retrieved only according to the column order defined in the Partition By
clause. To ensure that column name and column values correctly map to each other, follow
the column order defined in the Partition By clause in the Create statement.

Redshift REC - Performance is Slow in Redshift for REDB Process

The time taken for an REDB process on a Redshift database depends on the network speed
and the geographical location of your database instance.
The following table shows the results for a database with 200 tables, 250 views, and other
supported objects:
Without Partition Ele- Without external tables
Network With all options in RE
ment option (Unselect 'S3Buck-
Speed Option Set
(Default option set) etObjects' option)
50 Mbps 4 Hours 3 Hours 2 Hours
1 Gbps 1 Hour 14 Minutes 4 Minutes

As a best practice, use the default option set when not working on Partitions.

53
Db2 z/OS-ESX-1015,190110 Messages are Displayed on Copy-past-
ing a Table that has a Period Clause
While copy-pasting a Db2 z/OS table that has a period clause from one model to another,
ESX-1015,190110 messages are displayed. Also, the period clause properties are not
retained and are disabled on the UI.

54
NSM P to L: Derive PO model to LO with NSM Template attached
While deriving a PO model; that does not have NSM objects, to LO model, if you attach an
NSM template, a List NSM Option Objects dialog is displayed. If you do not select an object
here, although the model will be derived, naming standards will not be applied.

55
erwin Data Modeler cannot Connect to erwin Mart Server on
Host Machine
erwin Data Modeler (DM) cannot connect to the erwin Mart Server (MS) on an erwin Mart
Server host machine. This happens because the client application version is different from
the erwin MS version. To counter this issue, do the following:

1. Open Internet Explorer.

2. Click Internet options.
3. Go to the Security tab.
4. Set security level to low.
5. Click Sites.
6. Add http://machine-name:18170/MartAdmin/ or http://ip address:18170/MartAdmin/
7. Try to connect the Mart from erwin DM with IP address or machine name.

API-Related Features do not Work on a Windows 2008 R2 SP1

Machine
On a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 machine, a bug in the operating system causes an access viol-
ation, due to which, API-related features (MITI, and erwin Spy) do not work.

56
Netezza REC- Comments are Truncated at 1024 Characters
Due to an SQL text retrieval restriction on Netezza side, all comments are limited to 1024
characters.

57
SQL 1105 Error
When you are upgrading to the current release on Microsoft SQL Server in a workgroup
environment, during the mart conversion process, you may get the message "Sql 1105" if
you run out of free hard disk space during the process.
Stop the conversion process, and either free or add hard disk space. Delete the already cre-
ated r9 tables and then re-attempt the conversion.

58
Model and Version Name Limit on Oracle
In a workgroup environment, when you save a model to an Oracle mart, the model name
must be less than 130 characters. If you exceed the 130 character limit, the model will not
save. Because the version name is derived from the model name (for example,
<ModelName>:<version number> by <UserName> on <VersionCreateDate>), you should use
model names considerably less than 130 characters in length to avoid problems with saving
a model version.

59
.Net Requirement
The current release requires .NET 4.7.1 to be installed on your system. If you do not have it
installed, the erwin Data Modeler installation will attempt to install it. After you install the
.NET framework, you must restart the computer to make the changes take effect.

60
Report on Glossary Words Includes Extra Characters
Suppose a report is generated on a model that includes an NSM object. If the glossary words
are included in the report, extra characters appear for all glossary words.

61
Updating Profile Description from Notepad
In the erwin Mart Administrator Profile Management page, suppose the description is
copied and pasted from a Notepad file and is saved. The updated description displays syntax
(\n) as well.

62
Unwanted Result Rows in Report
In a Subject Area report, suppose the Subject Area name is included in the report and the
diagram name is specified at run time. The report lists all Subject Areas instead of the Sub-
ject Area that corresponds to the selected diagram.

63
DSM Logical to SQL Server 2012
Suppose a Logical/Physical SQL Server 2012 model is attached with a DSM object that is act-
ive. Suppose a new Logical Definition for the Number domain is created and mapped to SQL
Server 2012 and Date is selected for domain. If the newly created Logical Definition is
applied to a column in a model, and if the physical view is seen, the data type is still dis-
played as Number.

64
Report Designer Functions for a Large Model
Generating reports is a memory intensive process and when the data set is very large, the
process uses the maximum memory. When the maximum memory is consumed, a warning
message informs you that the application might stop responding if you continue processing
the report. If you choose to continue to run the report and the memory is completely used,
the program might stop responding. If you choose not to continue, the report execution is
terminated.
To resolve this problem, you can generate multiple small reports with fewer properties.

65
Subject Area Picture Report not Generated
There is a limitation on the size of a diagram report that you can generate--the maximum
size is 1900 x 1440. Suppose you create a Subject Area report for a large model using Report
Designer, and export the report to HTML. If you click the diagram in the HTML report, it
does not open.
To resolve this problem, reduce the zoom level of the model to reduce the picture size and
then generate the report.

66
Incorrect UDP in UDP Report
Suppose you want to generate a report on the UDPs using Report Designer. Suppose you
have already created a UDP report template and generated the report for a different
model. If you close the model, open another model, and use the same template to generate
the UDP report, then the report includes the UDP name from the previous model. In the res-
ult grid, the column heading shows the UDP name of the previous model, while the UDP
value is of the current model. In addition, the properties of the Report Explorer also shows
the UDP name of the previous model. However, the Report Properties dialog shows the cor-
rect UDP name.

67
Invalid Column Node for Db2 LUW Model in View Report
In a Db2 LUW model, suppose a nickname table and a view exist and a Column Option level
UDP is added to a column. If a View report is generated using the Report Designer, the
Column Option node is available for View. If a user selects the Column Option node, the
UDP is not included in the report for the selected column.

68
Mart Server Name in Korean
Suppose that you provide the Mart Server machine name in the Korean language (Korean
characters) and configure the Mart Server. If you try to connect to the Mart from erwin DM
and you provide the Korean language name for Server Name, the following message
appears:
The client application version is different from the Mart Server
version. Install the same version of the application and the Mart
Server and then try.

If you try to log in to erwin Mart Administrator by using the Korean language name, it does
not display.

69
Generating Reports with Korean Characters in User Name
Suppose that you have initialized a Mart with a user name that has Korean characters. You
connect to the Mart with this user name and generate a report on Mart users (click Tools,
Mart Reports, Global Reports, Users). The report is not generated and the message, You can
not connect. Incorrect log on parameters is displayed. (The actual message is displayed in
the Korean language. The message provided here is the translated message.)

70
Error While Creating a Profile Using Special Characters in Mart
Administrator
When you create a profile in Mart Administrator using special characters such as
!@#$%ˆ&*()_+={}:"-<>?|/.,;'\[], and space, you will get one of the following error messages
repeatedly and the Mart Administrator hangs.
Illegal Group

or
500 The call failed on the server; see server log for details

or
String index out of Range:1

To avoid this error, create a profile without using the special characters. When the Mart
Administrator hangs, refresh the Mart Administrator.

71
File IO: For a Parent or Child Table with Multiple Child Tables,
Other Child FK Attributes are Highlighted on Mouse Hover on
One Relationship
If one parent/child entity has multiple children with different relationship lines, the
migrated attributes in all child tables are highlighted on hovering the mouse on any one of
the relationship lines.
For r7.x models being upgraded to r9.8, the work around for this is as follows:
On the Model Upgrade Wizard, go to the Subject Area tab and select the "Apply a default
theme for all the diagram check box and continue with the process.

72
Owner Name not Displayed while Sorting a Guided Editor's list of
Objects
For Hive and Teradata the owner is a database and not an owner or schema. Therefore,
while attempting to sort a guided editor (for example, Subject Area Editor) list of objects by
Owner_Name + Object_Name, the owner name is not displayed.

73
