You create a comparison, in which you specify the data that you want to compare and create filters.

You can assign comparisons to a comparison group, for example, because they affect the same business object and you want to display the overall comparison results.

You schedule and perform a comparison. By doing so, you specify when and how often you compare the data sources. You can also specify further options for the comparison.

You display the comparison results to see whether there are inconsistencies in the data sources.

If you find inconsistencies in the cross-database comparison, you can create messages directly from the comparison overview.

You can create guided procedures to provide guidance to investigate the potential root causes of inconsistencies.

For more information, see Guided Procedure Authoring (GPA).
