Resource Pools (SQL Server)

A resource pool represents the physical resources of the server. PowerDesigner models resource pools as extended objects with a stereotype of <<ResourcePool>>.

Creating a Resource Pool

You can create a resource pool in any of the following ways:

Select Model Resource Pools to access the List of Resource pools, and click the Add a Row tool.
Right-click the model (or a package) in the Browser, and select New Resource Pool .

Resource Pool Properties

You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a resource pool property sheet, double-click its Browser entry.

The following extended attributes are available on the Microsoft tab:
