How to make PowerDesigner 16.5.5 SP02 to offer  - as it is given in the help -

>Tools > SAP Data Services 4.2 > Import SAP Data Services XML File

menu.

Despite I created ETL model, even exported by

I could not find any Import DS menu, not even in

File > Import  or  Reverse Engineer

Does anybody have clue?

Hi Matt,

I think I got the clue.

I have updated form 16.5.4 to 16.5.5, and than 16.5.5. SP02.

I have reinstalled 16.5.5 and it works.

So the update from 16.5.4 does not work. (Need to be checked)

The SAP Data Services import facility was released in PD 16.5 SP05, so I assume you meant that you are using PD 16.5 SP05 PL02?

If that is true, you should have a File, Import, SAP Data Services XML File... from the initial opening. If you don't, you may need to update your license file depending what you upgraded from.

If you are using a DMM model (ETL), then to get the SAP Data Services functionality, you must make sure that the extension for Data Services is attached to the DMM (see picture).

BTW, you can not re-import a PowerDesigner generated SAP Data Services XML file and get back what you started. The DS XML must first be imported into DS, and then exported from DS to get the context tags that PowerDesigner looks for when you import it.

HTH,

Thanks Matt,

Of course I have DMM model:

Despite I have only Export menu in Tools:

and no DS mani in File> Import:

Is there any specific file among the Resources that might be missing or damaged?
