Performing Reconciliations and Comparisons 

Performing a Comparison

...

       1.      Choose the version type you want to compare in the Versions initial view.

You have to start from the Projects initial view if you want to compare one operational project with another.

       2.      Choose Compare.

       3.      Enter the version and the operational project that you want to compare with another project.

       4.      Choose Identify Projects for Comparison.

The system searches for projects that you can compare with the project you entered.

       5.      Select a project from under Project for Comparison and choose Compare.

The system compares the information in the selected projects.

       6.      If you want to see more detailed information about the traffic lights, click a traffic light.

The system only displays the differences at first. You can also display only the matches or all the fields. In the column with the traffic lights, select the relevant entry and then choose Set Filter.

Performing a Reconciliation

...

       1.      Choose the version type Simulation in the Versions initial view.

       2.      Choose Reconcile.

       3.      Enter the simulation you want to reconcile with another project.

       4.      Choose Identify Projects for Comparison.

The system searches for projects that you can reconcile with the project you entered.

       5.      Select a project from under Project for Comparison and choose Reconcile.

The system compares the information in the selected projects.

       6.      Select the project elements whose data you want to reconcile with the data of the target project.

       7.      If you want to reconcile all data of the selected project element, choose Reconcile.

       8.      If you want to reconcile individual parts of the project element data, open the detail view by clicking a traffic light and then select the data you want to reconcile.

The system only displays the differences at first. You can also display only the matches or all the fields. In the column with the traffic lights, select the relevant entry and then choose Set Filter.

·         You cannot select data that does not contain any differences or for which a reconciliation is not possible.

·         If the simulation contains project elements that do not exist in the target project, you can only select the first project element each time below an element that exists on both sides.

Example

You reconcile the following structures:

Task C and subtask C1 do not exist in the target project. You can select task C but not C1 because C1 does not have a superior element that exists in both structures. If you choose task C for the reconciliation, the system creates subtask C1 in the target project automatically.
