Who have make full use of Designer?
wyfwongOct 11 2007 — edited Dec 7 2007Designer provides a set of tools such as Process, Modeler, Function Hierarchy Diagram, Entity Relationship Diagram, Data Flow Diagram. Matrix Diagrammer, etc.
Entities on ERD can be transformed to tables using Database Design Transformer.
Functions defined with Entity/Attribute Usages can be transformed to Form/Report modules using Application Design Transformer.
You can generate DDL scripts and populate DDL into Oracle and other ODBC database using Design Editor's Server Model.
You can generate and/or design capture form/report from module using Design Editor.
I found that complex business logic is easier to be added directly using Forms Builder instead of setting the module using Module Diagram and generate the required Form. After changing the code in the generated Form, you can reverse engineer (design capture) the Form back to the Module Diagram.
I would like to know whether any person has ever use Designer to develop a complete system. If yes, which design methodology would be adopted, and documents/diagrams/specifications will be included in the Design Document?
