Comparing Two Analysis

Since the IAM is a PowerDesigner model, you can compare the content of two IAMs in order to:

  • Follow up evolutions in models manipulated by different development teams.

  • Evaluate the differences that exist between the models.

The comparison window displays the objects contained within the models in a tree format, and highlights the differences between them.

To compare two IAM's you have to:

  • Select Tool > Compare Models to open the Select Models to Compare dialog box.

For detailed information about comparing models, see Comparing and Merging Models.
