When you edit an object, one of the items on the Data tab is the Synchronization button. This is used to synchronize the current data specifications in the object with the data specifications of the selected table or view. If there are model compatibility requirements, the existing ODM model is accessed and compared against the new data specification to ensure that they are compliant. Since this process can take some time, the progress dialog "Comparing data to model" is displayed. You can cancel out of this process and return to the data tab. If there are no synchronization changes required, a message is displayed stating so. If there are synchronization changes required, then the Synchronized Attributes dialog is displayed; for details, see Synchronized Attributes Dialog. You must click OK on this dialog in order to complete the synchronization.
For a classification model, you can synchronize only to a table or view that includes the target attribute. If you try to synchronize to a table or view that does not contain the target attribute, an error message is displayed.
