You can set global preferences that determine how the Compare
editor deals with data object differences.
About this task
The preferences that you set in this window determine the
types of differences that you will see when you compare data objects.
Procedure
To set global preferences for data object comparison:
- Click from the main menu.
- Expand the Data Management node
and click Data Object Compare. The
preferences that you set on this page will be applied to any future
data object comparison.
Note: In some products, you can also modify
the preferences for the comparison filter by expanding the
Data
Object Compare node and select
Built-in Filter
Configuration. Use the
Built-in Filter Configuration page
to specify what types of data objects are included in the comparison
by default. When you compare data objects, only the selected types
of data objects are displayed. When you generate DDL to apply your
changes, only the selected types of data objects and other required
data objects are included in the DDL file.
When you perform a data
object comparison in the future, you can modify these settings in
the Filtering Criteria window.
- Set the options to use when comparing data objects.
Results
The preferences that you set on the Data Object
Compare page are applied to future data object comparisons.
If
you modified the Built-in Filter Configuration page,
the settings are used when you compare data objects.
