Hello Experts

Need your guidance. I have a .PDM generated from Netezza DB and another .PDF from Oracle. Can i compare these 2 .PDF Files? When i click Compare Model i get the result, However when i click on the Options button before the comparison i get the attached error.

Regards

Hi,

This is intended. Product do not allow to compare models with DBMS not belonging to the same family.

Reason is that metamodel extension will not necessarly match if the DBMS families are different (like comparing apples and oranges)

The best way to handle it is to change one model DBMS (you can either generate a new model or change target DBMS) to match the other one.

After that you can compar them
