Generate the Compare Aggregate Objects Report

The Compare Aggregate Objects report compares the aggregate objects that are selected from the source model (and all their subordinate aggregate objects) to equivalent aggregate objects and subordinates in the destination model.

The comparisons have four possible results:

• The objects are the same.
• The objects are different.
• No equivalent object exists in the destination model.
• The object exists in the destination model but no equivalent object exists in the source model. This can occur when you select Compare All or when you select a high-level aggregate object that has more components in the destination model than in the source model.

To generate this report, you must have at least Read Only authorization on both the source model and the destination model. For comparison, the destination model must be in the same family as the source model.

The following three procedures provide step-by-step instructions for:

• Comparing all objects in two models
• Comparing selected objects and creating an aggregate set of those objects that meet the criteria you select, where options include:
  • Objects that are different
  • Objects that do not exist in the destination model
  • Objects that do not exist in the source model
• Comparing the objects in an existing aggregate set and, optionally, updating the set with the results of the comparison
