Hi,

I have a question, what is the right way to merge two framework model using 2 different data source. after the merger do i need to build the relation between the query subject or FM will
take care of that?
thank you in advance.

Depends what you mean with merge. FM will not add relationsships on it's own..

thank you blom0344,

what i meant by merge is  I have 2 FM models in porduction and since there is many reports using both model, we want to merge both model into one.

You can import metadata from one model into the other, though you need to make sure that the namespace references are not changed. If the 2 models have been originally build as completely seperate ones, then adding relationships may not be applicable.  Another approach is using segments. You keep 2 seperate models , but you can define packages over the combination.
