Compare Report

The Compare Report is the Version Control function that compares selected aggregate objects and their subordinated aggregate objects in two models in the same encyclopedia and reports differences. The resulting Compare Aggregate Object Report lists:

• Objects that exist only in the source model or in the destination model
• For objects that exist in both models, that is, for equivalent objects
  • Which object pairs are the same versions in both models
  • Which object pairs are different versions in each model

You will find this information useful when you begin to identify objects to migrate from one model to another. For example, objects in different versions are candidates for migration—usually you will select the later version of the object to replace the earlier version. For a sample scenario illustrating this, see Evaluating the Compare Aggregate Object Report.
