Steps to Create an Aggregate Set from Compare

Follow these steps:

1. Access the CA Gen Main Menu. Select options 1.2.6. Press Enter.
2. On Compare Source Model Name panel, type the name of the source model and press Enter.

   Alternatively, tab to the field and press the prompt key for a list of valid choices. Select a model from the list by typing any character except period (.) next to one name and press Enter again.

3. Complete the Compare Destination Model Name panel.
4. Type the destination model name.

   a. Type / (slash) next to Selected Objects for the range of objects.

   b. Type / (slash) next to the execution option you want.

   • Online displays the report on your terminal.
   • Batch prints the report on the specified output device.

   c. Press Enter.

   The Compare Report Aggregate Set Create/Modify panel appears

   Note: When you specify Selected Objects, the report includes a list of all objects that are the same in both models. If you select All Objects, the reports will not include objects that are the same.

5. Create an aggregate set composed of the objects that are identified by the Compare Report in an aggregate set:
   • Change the Save in aggregate set default N to Y
   • Enter a unique name for the new aggregate set
   • Specify the aggregate set option by typing / next to the option describing objects to save in the set.
   • Use the following tips to help in the process:
     • If creating an aggregate set to migrate object changes that are made in the source model to equivalent objects in the destination model, select Objects in both but different.
     • If creating an aggregate set to migrate new objects that are created in the source model to the destination model, include the option Objects in Source but not in Destination.
     • If creating an aggregate set to migrate new objects that are created in the destination model to the source model, select only the option Objects in Destination but not in Source.

     Note: When you migrate, you specify as the source model the model that was the destination for this compare.

     • Select Take No Action to avoid overwriting an existing set in the event the name you entered is not unique. (You reset this to Replace or Merge when using or modifying this set; otherwise no update to the set is made. To avoid this consequence, you can select Replace now to ensure that this setting is in force the next time that you use this feature.)
     • The Aggregate Set Retrieval panel appears with the name of the set you are creating.
6. If you are creating an aggregate set of objects in the destination model but not in the source, leave no as the retrieval option and remove the aggregate set name. Otherwise, change the retrieval option to yes and leave the aggregate set name so that the objects meeting your criteria can be retrieved from the source model. Press Enter.

   The Select Aggregate Object Types panel appears. If you specified set retrieval on the previous panel, the following message appears, Number of aggregate objects retrieved: 0 out of 0.

7. Type / (slash) by the aggregate object types to which the occurrences you want to select belong and press Enter. The slashes that you enter appear as S's. Press Enter.

   The Object Occurrences panel for the first aggregate object type you selected appears.

8. Complete the Object Occurrences panel.
   1. Type S next to the aggregate object occurrences you want to select. Type E to expand an occurrence. Press Enter.
   2. Repeat until all object types have been processed.

      The Confirm Comparison List panel appears.

9. Review the list. Type / (slash) next to any individual occurrences you want to remove. Press Enter twice.
10. On the Confirm Selected Aggregate Objects panel, type one of the following commands:
    • ACCEPT
    • SAVE
    • END
    • CANCEL

    ACCEPT processes but does not save the set, then ends processing. (This is the default, which is used if you press Enter.) SAVE processes and saves the set, then ends processing.

11. Press Enter:
    • If you chose the Online execution, the Browse Report File displays the Compare Aggregate Objects report.
    • If you chose the Batch execution, the Batch JOB card maintenance panel appears. Modify the JOB card as necessary and SUBMIT the Job.
