When you compare models, databases, or script files, a collection of all the objects and properties for your target server are displayed in a default option set on the Type Selection dialog. If you are working with a Logical/Physical model, a separate default option set is available for logical and physical objects.
The option set consists of a hierarchical tree of objects and properties. You can select or clear a check box before each object or property name to create a customized list (for example, to exclude drawing objects from the compare). You can collapse or expand the different nodes of the property tree.
Two default option sets are provided:
This option set filters out many objects and properties from the selection tree. It excludes "physical-only" object types, and includes a minimal set of property types. Use this default for standard compares where it is not necessary to include all objects and properties in the compare process.
This option set includes all objects in the selection tree, except those that are assigned generated values during forward or reverse engineering. Use this default option set for advanced compares, in which you want all objects to participate in the compare process.
You can create a customized option set and save it for future use. The option set can be saved with the left or right model, or as an external XML file.
