Example Where Adopt All Is Indicated

Consider the scenario where two models are the same but have been uploaded into the encyclopedia independently, and therefore common ancestry has not been maintained between objects that are logically the same in the models. (This occurs when you upload models into an encyclopedia from a tran file created by the download with upload option.)

Note: If the tran file was created by the extract with apply option, common ancestry is maintained and adoption is not necessary.

When you run the Compare Report with the Compare All option on such models, the result is two identical lists under the source only and destination only sections. See the figure in Sample Compare Report Before Adoption.
