Steps to Generate Compare from Aggregate Set

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. Press Enter.
  3. Complete the Compare Destination Model Name panel.
    1. Type the destination model name.
    2. Type / (slash) next to Selected Objects
    3. 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.
    4. Press Enter. The Compare Report Aggregate Set Create/Modify panel appears.
    5. To use an existing set and, optionally, modify the criteria:
      • Change the Save in aggregate set default N to Y.
      • Enter the name of the aggregate set to use.
      • Specify aggregate set options by typing / next to each option describing objects to save in the set.
    6. Select one of the following options from the choices under-If the set already exists:
      • Take No Action-Select Take No Action to use the set as is, but not update it (this option would be appropriate for a set you plan to delete right away).
      • Merge Sets-Select Merge Sets to update the existing set with any additions generated with the current compare criteria. This option is useful when you want to add more objects to those previously compared or when you want to add objects meeting a different criteria than that used to create the existing set.
      • Replace Set-Select Replace Set to replace the objects in the set with those that now meet the specified criteria. If you want to delete objects from the set, replace rather than merge the set. If you used this set to migrate, this use replace that set with objects now eligible for migration-objects that compare as the same will not be included in the replaced set.
      • The Aggregate Set Retrieval panel appears.
  4. Press Enter to retrieve the aggregate set you selected.

    The Select Aggregate Object Types panel appears with a message stating the number of objects that are retrieved out of the number of objects in the set. You add or remove any selected object types or accept the set as is. Press Enter twice.

  5. Review the Object Occurrences panel for each selected object type.
    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.

  6. Review the displayed objects and type / (slash) next to any individual occurrences you want to remove. Press Enter.

    The Confirm Selected Aggregate Objects panel appears.

  7. Type one of the following commands:

    ACCEPT, SAVE, END, or CANCEL

    ACCEPT processes but does not save the set, then ends processing. SAVE processes and saves the set, then ends processing.

  8. Press Enter.
