Can changes made to the PDM go back to the CDM easily (« Synching » between levels)?
A. It is possible to produce a CDM to conform to changes made in the PDM, by choosing the Generate Conceptual Data Model option in the PDM Tools menu. In the CDM Generation Options dialog box, you can select whether to create a new Conceptual model or update an existing Conceptual Model. The Update option will present you with the Model Merge screen, which highlights the differences between the existing model and the newly generated model and you can select which changes to incorporate into the Conceptual model. For more information on Model Merge, see the Comparing and Merging Models chapter of the General Features Guide. Q.
