Kean, Start the RON. Right click on "Global Shared WorkArea" - select "Create Child/Application System. Within the Application, create an Oracle Database. Create the User. Start the Design Editor. Click on the "DB Admin" Tab. Select "Generate|Capture Design of|Server Model" from the menu. Enter the Source of Design Capture as your database and enter the connect information. Select the Target Container and Capture Implementations Into via the drop-down. Reverse Engineer the items separately in the following order: Roles Users (You can create these users by hand if you want to). Tablespaces Tables Views PL/SQL stuff (triggers, Procs & Packages). Triggers will come automatically of you selected the option on the capture window. A new diagram will be automatically created for you - but it is slower. I usually create my diagrams by hand. This is not a trivial task. Capturing the tables can take a long time. But once you do it, keeping it up to date is not a big deal. Good Luck!
