Displayed on the Model Properties, Model page, the commit status of a model is one of the following:
Test—This EDMM has not been committed. It is either a new model or an existing committed model that has changed. File names of test EDMMs are filename.rsm.
Production—This EDMM has been committed. It reflects what is actually implemented in the metabase and the configuration files at each server in the EDMM. File names of production EDMMs are filename(production).rsm.
Archived—This model is the old production version. File names of archived EDMMs are filename(archive).rsm.
Backup—This model is a backup version. When a model is opened it is first copied to the <modelname>(backuptemp).rsm file. If the model was read in Connect CDC Director with no issues, then the backuptemp file is renamed to backup. It is mainly to create a backup version of a model in case you want to switch back to the previous version. This is done every time the model is opened. File names of backup EDMMs are filename(backup).rsm.
