Model Conversion

Conversion updates the model schema and modifies model contents as required to conform to the new model structure definition. CA Gen evaluates the model in terms of the current definition and makes the required changes. With CA Gen 8.5, you can convert from the 9.0.A2 schema or 9.1.A5 schema to the 9.2.A6 schema.

To use the CA Gen 8.5 workstation, the model must be converted to the 9.2.A6 schema. If the model is a CA Gen 8.5 model then it is already 9.2.A6 schema and does not need to be converted. An unconverted 9.0.A2 cannot use any CA Gen 8.5 functionality, except for model conversion and model delete. An unconverted 9.1.A5 model or subset cannot be downloaded to a CA Gen 8.5 toolset. If you do not convert models to the 9.2.A6 schema, you will incur increased system overhead during download functions. See the Unconverted Models and 9.0.A2 Models sections in this chapter.
