We generate the full model DDL using the Encyclopaedia Construction Client. The last time that this worked was in Feb 2018 and the installation has not changed since then, apart from the application of a Windows Security Update.
It is still possible to generate an individual DDL, but when you try the whole model, the generate fails with "MDEXI0045E Request file was not transferred". The successive model generates all fail, but at different points. We have tried with a different model and the same thing happens.
