From ID

The FROM id may take one of the following forms:

  • Path or object id of a configuration version: This is the most common form of the FROM clause. All metadata elements that belong to the models, mappings and glossaries of the configuration are included.
  • Path or object id of a Configuration repository model: This is the same as the Published (or default) version of the configuration.
  • Object id of a configuration model: This is the same as the configuration version.
  • Path or object id of a multi-model version: All metadata elements that belong to the multi-model as well as the internal models are included.
  • Path or object id of a multi-model repository model: This is the same as the Published (or default) version of the multi-model.
  • Object id or stable id of a multi-model: This is the same as the multi-model version.
  • Object id or stable id of a metadata element within a multi-model: This can be a directory in a File System multi-model, a folder in an erwin Mart multi-model, etc. The current metadata element and all the metadata elements below the current metadata element in the model hierarchy to the lowest level of granularity (e.g., fields in a file, or columns in a table) without stopping at the internal model level are included.
  • Object id or stable id of an internal model within a multi-model: This can be a file in a File System multi-model, a data model in an erwin Mart, a database schema in a multi-model database, etc. All metadata elements that belong to the internal model are included
  • Path or object id of a single model version: All metadata elements that belong to the single model are included.
  • Path or object id of a single model repository model: This is the same as the Published (or default) version of the single model.
  • Object id or stable id of a single model: This is the same as the single model version.
  • Object id or stable id of a metadata element within a single model: This can be a glossary, a table in a database schema, etc. The current metadata element and all the metadata elements below the current metadata element in the model hierarchy to the lowest level of granularity (e.g., terms in a glossary, or columns in a table) are included.

The FROM id may specify only one path or id of a version, repository model, model, or metadata element. If you need to specify multiple sources, use the path or id of the configuration as the FROM clause.
