The requested information was not provided and the RFE is being closed.
The information would be presented in a similar manner to the diagram today, but would require RDz for viewing and editing. It would not be viewable outside of RDz because it would require a special viewer. You could still export the diagram into a GIF for reporting purposes. Thanks.
How the information will be presented - can you give an example, please? Thank you.
The diagram is not in a format which we are able to re-import and edit -- i.e., we cannot extract the info from the image. Would using an alternate export format be acceptable? This would probably not be an image but would contain the info for viewing in an RDz environment.
This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and IBM is continuing to evaluate.
We want to be able to modify the existing diagram. Let say, if we need to add or remove a table from the existing diagram.
The gif export is a means of document generation supporting analysis or documentation. Are you searching for a means to import and export the overview diagram for sharing between users? Is the use of ddl files not sufficient?
