In today's Erwin's Skills 101 session, the focus is on the challenges of data modeling collaboration, particularly when multiple users are involved in editing and reviewing data models. Andy leads the session, discussing how Irwin DM Workgroup Edition and ER 360 can streamline conflict resolution, model harvesting, and team alignment. The session marks the conclusion of the Skills 101 series, with plans to delve deeper into advanced topics in the future.
Andy highlights the evolution of the Erwin Data Modeler software, noting the transition from version 14.1 to 15.1 and the upcoming 15.2. He explains the functionalities of the Workgroup Edition, including model versioning, conflict resolution, and comparison of different versions. The session also covers practical tips for enhancing model readability and usability.
The demonstration includes a scenario where two users, Andreas and Terry, work on the same model version, leading to a three-way merge due to conflicting changes. Andy explains how to manage these conflicts and perform model comparisons effectively.
Finally, the session discusses how to publish models to ER 360, emphasizing the importance of managing user access and simplifying the view for end users. The session concludes with a promise of more advanced offerings in the upcoming year.
