Configuring for Data Merge
* 
The capability to merge data is deprecated and not an encouraged best practice supported by PTC.
To merge data, one or more data merge configuration (.dmf) files must be created defining the queries, and one or more document type .dcf files must be modified to specify the appropriate .dmf file(s) and available queries.
