Compare Schema 'Create Schema Definition File' is not working properly, content of file generated is not correct.
On the Schemas tab in Compare Schema, there is a checkbox for 'Create Schema Definition File'. If you check this box, a file (.SDXML) is created automatically in User Files and you get a popup that says 'Schema definition file has been created.'
Note: You need to run Schema Compare at least once to reproduce this issue.
AFTER running a compare schema for SCHEMA A, on the schema tab, select another schema eg. SCHEMA B, then check 'Create Schema Definition File'. You will get the same popup that says the file has been created. Then using Windows Explorer, browse to this file.
Notice that the filename (details such as schema and datetime are correct). Now open the file and you will find that the owner (sOwner) is referencing SCHEMA A and not SCHEMA B.
However if you continue to run a Compare Schema (with SCHEMA B), a new definition file will be generated. And this file has the correct filename and content (ie. sOwner is SCHEMA B).
