Is read-only in all other components of AB Suite except the Import Wizard.

Cannot be validated or generated.

Only supports ‘full’ extracts of Business Segments from EAE. Allows an updated EAE .mdl file to be migrated into an existing Migration Database, but the updated .mdl must be a ‘full’ extract of the Business Segment.

Does not support update to previously migrated model and global extracts.

Has limited support for deleted elements. The elements are never deleted from the Migration Database. The Presentation of deleted elements are disabled, thereby ensuring that they are not in use in the runtime system.

Always allow increase in contents, which can lead to confusion. The extra elements visible in AB Suite Developer are dormant and are not in use in the runtime system.

Does not support import of Draft Data Item from EAE to AB Suite.
