.sdc file not being saved

john.barry

I have created a project, which created a .sdc file. When I open this .sdc file, all my mappings have gone away.

Is this because I am using the trial version? The trial doesnt allow saving a project?

When i try to run this project using command line I get:

Error: Nothing to compare. ...........

Thanks,

John

This is not because you are using the trial version - the trial should be a fully working version with all features enabled.

I know that some mapping changes aren't picked up by the 'project has changed' code in SDC 7 (because we've fixed the behaviour for SDC 8 ), so could it be that you created the project but didn't save it after the mapping changes were completed?

Does this happen whenever you save and reload a project with mappings / can you provide more information on exactly what steps you take when you see this problem and which version of Data Compare you've got? I've tried a couple of simple mapping changes and they seem to be saving into projects for me (and prompting me to save on exit).

Hi Michelle.

Thanks for getting back to me. Actually I decided to activate the license and now it saves fine, doing the same things I was doing previously. So, in my case it was a Trial version issue.

As far as the Command Line, it looks as though SQLDataCompare Pro is needed to do this. We Have standard.
