While generating the DDLs for the table you can also generate the REST services for the table easily.

To generate the DDL select File, Export, DDL File.

Then select the RDBMS Site and the relational model wanted and press Generate.

Select Generate REST Services.

And the script now not only includes the table generation (and whatever else you chose) but also REST enabling scripts.

P.S. If you want to isolate the tables from users with views, you can easily create a view for a table (and then grant privileges to views instead of tables). Just like described above you can create the REST services for views as well.

To create the views for tables select Tools, Table to View Wizard.

Select the tables wanted.

And then generate the DDLs as described.

In version 17.3 there are some changes in the reporting user interface. The reporting itself works as before.

The reporting form has been devided into two tabs: General and Objects.

General includes things that define how the report looks like, including templates and output formats:

You can also define the Company name, some reporting preferences, Reports Directory and Saxon XSLT 2.0 jar file path in the General tab. The defaults can be set in Preferences as before:

And Objects tab include selecting the source (open design/reporting repository) and configurations (which objects will be included to the report):

Why would I define the Default System Types Directory in Preferences?

If that directory has been defined you do not need to worry about domains etc. when upgrading Data Modeler. All the system type kind of things are automatically available even though you upgrade.Things like:

Report templates
Report configurations
Saved searches
Custom report templates
Domains
RDBMS Sites
Custom Scripts
Types
Global Design Level Settings

And you can also add this directory to version control to be able to keep track of the changes…

I have defined the Naming Standards, Templates etc for one design and I would like to have those same settings for another design I am working on. How can I do that?

You can do that using the Export/Import functionality. Open the design that has the right settings. Go to either Design Properties or Design Level Settings and select Export.

Save the file. Remember to add the extension xml.

Open the design you want to implement those settings. Select Import and find the file with the exported settings. Press Open. Now the Design Properties/Design Level Settings are the same as in the original design.

P.S. If you want ALL your designs having the same design level settings simply check the “Use global design level settings” box and no need to do any export/import.

I am sure you remember there are Preferences and Design Properties in Data Modeler. Preferences affect all the designs in a Data Modeler installation (in that computer) whileas Design Properties affect only that design they are defined for.

Now in Data Modeler 17.3 you can find those Design Properties also under Tools menu by a name Design Level Settings:

These are the sames you can still find under Design Properties too and you should definitely check them (either under Design Properties or Design Level Settings), because they are important.
