    In Rational Data Architect, is there any way to take a Data Model in IE format, transform it into UML format and import in Rational Software Architect?

    In RDA you can transform a logical data model (.ldm) into a UML model when you have RSA/RSM and RDA installed together. In other words, sharing the same RSA/RDA environment allows transformation of models.
