Before you can extract catalog source metadata, get information from the SAP PowerDesigner administrator.
Perform the following prerequisite tasks:
•Install the Secure Agent on a Windows machine.
•Extract PDM files from the SAP PowerDesigner tool and copy them to any location on the Secure Agent machine.
•Verify permissions.
Extract PDM files
Before you configure the catalog source, you need to extract the PDM files from the SAP PowerDesigner tool.
Copy the PDM files to the machine where the Secure Agent is installed. When you configure the SAP PowerDesigner catalog source, you specify the absolute path to the PDM file for metadata extraction.
Verify permissions
Verify that you have the following account and permissions:
•A user account to access and extract metadata from the SAP PowerDesigner source system.
•Read permission for the account to access the PDM files extracted in the Secure Agent machine.
