Merge a Modified Data Model

You can select a data model XML file to load and merge into the currently loaded metadata. Merging an XML data file adds the additional account attributes to metadata for the endpoint.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the existing project you want to merge the metadata for.
2. Click Metadata, Merge.

   The Merge Data Model from dialog appears.

3. Navigate to the location of the file you want to merge the metadata with, then click OK.

   Connector Xpress overwrites or appends the data model file of the file you opened to the currently loaded data model.

Example: How an Administrator Merges the Metadata on an Endpoint using an XML Data File

In this example, the administrator wants to add some additional account attributes in one project to the metadata in another project. The administrator merges the metadata in the dyn_jdbc_endpoint2.con project with the metadata in the dyn_jdbc_endpoint.con project.

The dyn_jdbc_endpoint.con project contains the metadata for the endpoint named dyn_jdbc_endpoint. The administrator does the following:

1. Exports the metadata for the dyn_jdbc_endpoint2.con project to an XML data file named export_dyn_jdbc_endpoint2.xml.
2. Opens the dyn_jdbc_endpoint.con project.
3. Imports export_dyn_jdbc_ns2.xml into the dyn_jdbc_endpoint.con project.
4. Uses the Metadata Editor to verify that Connector Xpress has successfully merged the additional account attributes created in the dyn_jdbc_endpoint2.con project with the metadata in the dyn_jdbc_endpoint.con project.
5. Deploys the merged data model to the endpoint named dyn_jdbc_endpoint.
6. Uses the Provisioning Manager to verify that the new mappings are correct.
