Chapter 12 Comparing and Merging Models


Merging models

PowerDesigner allows you to merge the content of two models or two resources of the same type after comparison. The Merge feature allows you to unify them.

You can merge the following items:

Models CDM, PDM, OOM, BPM, XSM, ILM, RQM and FEM

Resources DBMS, object languages, process languages, XML languages, extended model definitions, report languages

For more information on the merge of resources, see "Comparing and merging resource files" in the "The Resource Editor" chapter.

Merge is performed from left to right; the model on the left pane is used as a reference for the model to be merged according to the merge actions you define.

Both Comparison and Merge features use the same interface made of the object comparison part and the property comparison part.
