How to write the data dictionary for an IBM Rational Rose Data Model

Troubleshooting


Problem

Elaborating the data dictionary for IBM Rational® Rose® Data Modeler with Rose scripts is a challenging task . Rose REI (Rose Extensibility Interface) does not support Data Modeler elements directly, so some information might be difficult to extract. For example, the property IsPrimaryKey of the Attribute Class which determines if the attribute is part of the PrimaryKey, always returns false, even when the attribute is part of the PrimaryKey.
