One big advantage using durable Framework Manager model is that any change you make in the model will not have any effect on reports using that model (at least in theory). For example, should you change the name of a Query Item from "Company" to "Companies", after publishing, any report using this query model will still work fine (at least in theory).
To create durable FM models, follow these steps:
1. Click on Project -> Languages -> Define Languages
2. Add another language preferably the same as what you are currently using. Example if your current Language is English, you can choose to add English (Malta).
3. Set this language as your Active Language.
4. Click ok
5. Click your Project in Project Viewer.
6. Set the Use Design Locale for Reference ID to True
7. Save
This should make your FM model durable.
Please not as of this time, I have not yet tested this process thoroughly. Hopefully I will be able to do so soon when I am not so busy anymore.
