The synchronize utility in OneData synchronizes the column properties (structure) and audit triggers between a database and OneData metadata. This is useful, for example, when the schema structures are maintained by external data modeling tools, or when the data model is part of the enterprise data model and is maintained externally.

A repository model is controlled using ERwin and the DDL is executed in the OneData repository. OneData metadata determines the structure and layout of the presentation layer. The synchronize feature synchronizes the physical structure and OneData metadata. You can also use the synchronize feature to regenerate the table.
