Users then defined models, entities, members, and business rules.<\/p>\n<h2>Example or practical exercise<\/h2>\n<p>Before decommissioning a legacy installation, inventory each model and entity, export master records and relationships, back up the MDS database, and check integration flows. Reproduce a representative validation process in a test environment.<\/p>\n<h2>Good practices<\/h2>\n<p>Do not assume that copying the database files is enough to migrate users, workflows, application URLs, security and downstream dependencies. Use supported documentation and restore tests.<\/p>\n<h2>Version and compatibility notes<\/h2>\n<p>MDS was removed in SQL Server 2025; its former setup wizard is not an installation route for that release.
