CA ERwin Web Portal
The CA ERwin® Web Portal provides a simple, customizable, web-based interface that allows both business and technical users across the organization to easily visualize the important metadata information that is stored in CA ERwin® Data Modeler. While only certain users will want to view or create data models, many more users need access to the information in those models, but would like this information presented in an intuitive and easily-accessible way.
Key Features
The CA ERwin Web Portal helps organizations collaborate with a wide range of roles in the organization through the following key features:
- Visualization and navigation of data models via the web: View graphical model diagrams in various formats (including IE, IDEF, and UML). Drill-down capabilities allow you to see textual metadata details to uncover definitions, data structures, and more.
- Graphical impact analysis and "where used" paths: View the inter-relationships between data assets graphically. Uncover which tables are used by a given query, what columns are used by a domain, how conceptual, logical, and physical models interrelate, and more to assess the impact of change.
- Internet-style keyword search: With a single keyword-based search, you can discover data assets that relate to your core business areas, such as "credit risk" or "customer".
- Intuitive reporting for business and technical definitions: Tabular reports are provided for common queries, with the ability to customize which column headings are displayed, sort by any column, and export to a spreadsheet.
