Procedure

  1. Choose   Comparison Instance   Create  .

  2. Select the comparison object for which you want to create the comparison instance.

  3. Enter the name of the comparison instance and choose Next.

    The global details for the comparison object are displayed in the comparison instance.

  4. Enter the description of the comparison instance.

  5. Enter the connection information that applies to this comparison instance:

    • For source type RFC to ABAP System:

      • RFC Connection (Read): Specify the connection that the system uses to read the data from the ABAP Dictionary of the source system.

      • RFC Connection (Trusted): Specify the connection that is used to create the function module in the source system.

        Choose Test Connection (Test Connection) to test the connection.

      • Function Module: Specify the name of the function module that the application generates.

    • For source type Remote DB (Generic ADBC):

      • Database Connection: Specify the connection that the system uses to read the data for the comparison.

        Choose Test Connection (Test Connection) to test the connection.

      • Database Schema: Specify the name of the database schema from which the system reads the data.

      • SQL String (Extractor): The SQL statement used to run the comparison is displayed after generation.

    • For source type XML File on Application Server:

      • File Path: Specify the path on the SAP Solution Manager application server under which the XML file containing the data to be compared is saved.

      • File Name: Specify the name of the XML file.

    • For source type XML file on local PC:

      File name: Specify the path and the name of the XML file on the local PC under which the XML file containing the data to be compared is stored.

  6. If the traffic light icon is yellow, the function modules in the comparison instance are not the same as the function modules in the comparison object. This can be useful if you have changed settings in the comparison object and regenerated the function modules, but are not yet finished making your changes. The comparison instance can then continue to apply the existing settings until the changes are finalized.

    To copy the current function modules from the comparison object to the comparison instance, choose the traffic light icon when you have finished making your changes to the comparison object, for example.

  7. In the Instance Specific Filters screen area, specify values for the variable filters.

  8. Save your entries.

Result

The comparison instance is now created.
