Tip

Before you start to manually amend all the files please note that there is a tool available to simplify the merge activity
The merge models tool has been developed which carries out most of the following ten steps automatically. For more information see below.

  1. merge Locations and LocationSets (can be done with the mergemodels tool, see below)
  2. merge ModuleInstanceDescriptors (can bedone with the mergemodels tool, see below)
  3. merge WorkflowDescriptors (can be done with the mergemodels tool, see below)
  4. merge ModuleInstanceSets (can be done with the mergemodels tool, see below)
  5. merge IdMapDescriptors (can be done with the mergemodels tool, see below)
  6. merge Branches and Grids (Grids can be merged with the mergemodels tool, see below, branches.xml has to be merged manually!)
  7. edit ScenarioEditor (can be done with the mergemodels tool, see below)
  8. edit TimeSeriesDisplayConfig and Explorer (can be done with the mergemodels tool, see below)
  9. create Filters, GridDisplay, DisplayGroups (Filters and, GridDisplay can be merged with the mergedmodels tool, DisplayGroups.xml hast be merged manually!)
  10. copy IdMapFiles, MapLayerFiles, ModuleConfigFiles, ModuleDataSetFiles, ModuleParFiles, WorkFlowFiles, ColdStates and Modules (has to be done manually!)
