3.2.1.4 "Content" of a Data Object and Partial Model Transfer

A partial model transfer refers to the ability to transfer only the data in a model that has changed, instead of the entire model. However, to do this exchange correctly, you still need the context of the data objects that have not changed, so they must be included in the package (data transfer).

In support of partial model transfers, a data object, with only its mandatory identification data, may be transferred. Any other data contained in the data object, may or may not be included, depending on the requirements of the two applications exchanging data (for example, all the data for data object may have been transferred previously or may be transferred in the future).

For more information on partial model transfer, see the RESQML Business Overview and Use Case Guide.
