Convert MPB to HTML

Understanding mpb and html file formats

MPB files are typically associated with PowerDesigner Model Backup files, used for storing database models and diagrams. These files are proprietary and are not directly viewable in web browsers or standard text editors.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) files are the standard format for web pages. They contain structured text, images, and links, and are readable by all web browsers.

Why convert mpb to html?

Converting an MPB file to HTML allows you to share database models or diagrams in a universally accessible format. This is useful for documentation, presentations, or collaboration with team members who do not have PowerDesigner installed.

How to convert mpb to html

Since MPB is a proprietary format, the conversion process typically involves exporting the model from PowerDesigner:

1. Open your MPB file in PowerDesigner.
2. Navigate to File → Import → PowerDesigner Archive to load your MPB file if it is not already open.
3. Once your model is loaded, go to File → Export → Report.
4. Choose HTML as the export format.
5. Follow the prompts to select the content and layout for your HTML report.
6. Save the exported HTML file to your desired location.

Best software for mpb to html conversion

The most reliable tool for this conversion is PowerDesigner by SAP. It provides built-in export options for generating HTML reports from your models. There are no widely available third-party converters for MPB to HTML due to the proprietary nature of the MPB format.

Tips for successful conversion

• Ensure you have access to PowerDesigner, as it is required for opening and exporting MPB files.
• Customize the export settings to include the diagrams, tables, and metadata you need in the HTML output.
• Review the generated HTML file in a web browser to verify formatting and completeness.
