Model Adoption Process

The Model Adoption process:

• Compares aggregate objects (and some sub-aggregates) in both models, looking for matches by using a rule table.

  The most important criterion in establishing a match is identical object name value. See General Name Equivalence Rules.

• Changes the Original Object ID of the aggregate object in the adoptee model to the Original Object ID of the aggregate object in the related model. (This change occurs only when a match is found.)

  After the change in Original Object ID, the aggregate objects have common ancestry, and the adoptee aggregate objects are considered equivalent in migration.
