PowerDesigner Repository - ChangeList Issue

0 Kudos

Hi everyone, I have PowerDesigner Repository -> There is two branches with Physical Data models (MAIN and DEV) -> in both branches is the same model (one table with one attribute).

Then I open DEV branch and RENAME attribute.

Then I want to "marge" this change from DEV branch into MAIN branch. (Right click on Dev branch -> click on button "Integrate").

Then I see settings window.

If I leave Change list empty -> then I see change schema correctly.

and If I click on "OK" button, then change will be done correctly and everything is fine 🙂 I have in MAIN branch wrong attribute name (ParTy) and in DEV I renamed this attribute to (Party) -> and made the integration between DEV and MAIN branches -> at the end I have correct name in the MAIN branch.

BUT: I can not to do integration from DEV to MAIN branch without approvals. this is the reason why I need to create ChangeList. So in the integration settings window I set the change list (or just say "create a new one").

then again I see correct change schema (the same like in previous process).

everything is fine and I click "Ok" - after that I can see change list.

but if I (or some approver) open the change schema:

then change is gone.

no one can see that I did attribute renaming -> what approver should approve? and also it is not just about that change is gone in some view, but the change is really gone. Nothing happens after the change list is approved.

is it bug? or do I not understand something? because adding new attributes and tables works fine. the problem is with renaming. If I do branch merge without change list then everything is fine - if I use change list (for approvals process), then rename change is gone.

Hello,

You may be running into the issue described in KBA 3109207 - Comparing model and changelist via the Proxy does not detect all changes: https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/3109207

In this case, solution is to upgrade to SAP PD 16.7 SP06 PL02.
