Comparison of Two Folders (SAP Library - Collaborative Engineering & Project Management (LO-CEP))

Comparison of Two Folders

Use

After the participants have returned modified successor folders, you can compare the changes with the original data (the project/product structure of the published folder).

You can

Compare a published folder with the corresponding successor folder from a participant or
Compare two successor folders from different participants, but based on the same published folder

The system displays all the difference between the two folders in a separate window. You can then select individual changes and reconcile them with the original data structure in the SAP System.

Prerequisites

It is only possible to compare a successor folder, if it has status Folder returned.

Features

First you specify in Monitoring which data structures you want to compare. In the Folder/participant overview you select at least two folder or successor folders and choose Compare and reconciliate

On t he Comparison and Reconciliation screen that appears you select from the object selection a folder as a reference object and a folder for comparison using drag & drop.

When both folders are open, you can choose whether all objects in both folders or only selected objects/substructure are compared.

The results are displayed in the Comparison screen area on various tab pages:

Additional Objects Which object are new in the comparison folder

Changed Objects Which objects have been changed in the comparison folder

Objs that do not exist Which objects have been deleted from the comparison folder

Hierarchy position changed Which object shave been moved within the hierarchy

To reconcilate objects, you select them in the Comparison screen and choose to copy to the Objects for Reconciliation screen area. When you have collected all the object s that you want to reconciliate, choose Go to data transfer.
