Procedure documentationDisplaying Comparison Results

 

After you have completed a comparison run or comparison group run, you can display the results of the comparison by selecting it and clicking Show Last Result.

The results are broken down as follows:

  • Global Result Parameters

    This area provides an overview of the comparison used in the run. You can display the comparison details by clicking Show Comparison Definition.

  • Result Overview

    This area summarizes the comparison results.

  • Result Details

    This area provides detailed information about the inconsistency type selected in the result overview.

  • Comparison Runtime Statistics

    This area provides information about the duration and speed of the job, along with the actual block size for the source systems and whether any identical blocks were found in the comparison.

Prerequisites

You have executed a comparison run.

Procedure

  1. On the Comparison Overview tab, select a comparison or group and choose Show Last Result.

    The results of the last comparison are displayed.

  2. Optional: If you want to display other results for the comparison run, select a value from the Run ID dropdown list in the Global Result Parameters area.

  3. In the Result Overview, select Objects Exist Only in System 1, Objects Exist Only in System 2, or Objects with Differences.

    The details are displayed in the Result Details area.

    Note Note

    If you want to change the text used for the inconsistency types, click Rename Inconsistency Types and enter your own text in the Comparison-Specific Text column. Your new texts are then displayed for this comparison only. If you remove your custom texts from the table, the system reverts to the default texts.

    End of the note.

  4. Choose Hide/Show Context Fields to display further fields in addition to the mapped key fields. These fields are not in the comparison scope but may also be relevant to you. There are two types of Context Fields:

    • Fields that are only available in one of the source systems and cannot be used as a mapping field.

    • Fields that are available in both source systems but that always have different contents (for example, created-by fields) and are, therefore, not used as comparison fields.

  5. Optional: Expand the Comparison Runtime Statistics area and review the statistics.
