Start Merge preview

You can carry out a test run of the merge procedure. In this case a log file is created, but data will not be transferred to the target database. Use the log file to check if the merge result is the result you expected.

Prerequisite

You are logged in to both databases as a user.

Procedure

  1. In the Explorer tree view, click the model or group of the source database, which is to be transferred to the other database, and hold down the mouse button.
  2. Drag the mouse pointer to the name of the target database and release the mouse button. The Merge Wizard opens.
  3. Specify the merge options and click Next.
  4. Specify the conflict resolution settings and click Next.
  5. Enable Merge preview - Create log file without data transfer.
  6. Specify the backup directory and the name of the log file.
  7. Click Finish. The merge procedure will be started. Once the merge procedure is complete, a dialog is displayed for you to decide whether to open the log file.
  8. Click Yes. The log file opens and you can check whether the results of the merge procedure meet your expectations.

You can now decide whether you want to apply your test run settings to the merge procedure.
