Chapter 10 Comparing and Merging Models

Comparing Models

You can compare the content of two PowerDesigner models or two resource files of the same type in order to:

• Follow up evolutions in models or resources manipulated by different development teams
• Evaluate the differences that exist between the models or resources before merging them

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

For more information about the comparison of resource files, see "Comparing resource files" in the Resource Files and the Public Metamodel chapter of the Customizing and Extending PowerDesigner manual.
