Merging data object properties differences in the compare editor

The Property Compare view in the compare editor shows the differences in the properties of data objects. You can use this view to merge property changes from one object to another. This view is available only when you perform a comparison among data objects.

If you make changes to a model object, the changes are automatically added to the model, then you must save the model to save the changes. You can also choose to not save the changes, and generate delta DDL statements instead.

If you make changes to a server object, then you must generate delta DDL statements for the object and then deploy it to the server to save the changes.

To merge data object properties differences in the compare editor:

  1. Click the tabs in the Property Compare view to see the properties of the objects.
  2. Use the controls in the Property Compare view to merge changes. You can type in the fields, or copy and paste properties values from one object to another.
  3. Optional: Display objects that are impacted by your changes by clicking the Analyze Left Impact Analyze Left Impact toolbar button icon or Analyze Right Impact Analyze Right Impact toolbar button icon toolbar buttons on the view toolbar.
  4. Save the changes:
    • To save changes to a model object, save the model, or click Generate Left Delta DDL Generate Left Delta DDL toolbar icon or Generate Right Delta DDL Generate Right Delta DDL toolbar icon to generate a DDL file that contains the changes.
