What is an XDMZ file?
A file with the XDMZ extension is a data model file created by XDM Designer. Internally, it uses the ZIP archive format. This file packages the design and metadata of a data model in a compressed container.
When you open an XDMZ file, you are accessing a structured export that may include XML or other configuration files detailing your data design. Some exports from tools like Informatica PowerCenter also use this format.
Key points sourced by FilExt.com include:
- Format: Stored as a ZIP archive.
- Purpose: Contains structured data model definitions.
- Usage: Used for design exports in data integration and modeling projects.
- Access: You can rename the extension to .zip and extract the contents with a decompression tool, or open it with the native XDM Designer application.
