Comparison Group
A comparison group is a collection of comparisons that are assigned to a specific group type. A comparison can be included in several comparison groups.
The type of comparison group defines the behavior of the comparison group.
Example
Group type A specifies that comparisons are grouped because they affect the same business object (for example, all comparisons that check business partners).
Group type B specifies that comparisons are grouped because they allow a correlated result, for example, transfer master data from one source system to multiple target systems.
You can use comparison groups for various purposes:
Group result view to display the correlated results for multiple systems within a comparison group
Filter for the administration view
Quick assessment of the data distribution from one source system to multiple target systems
Assessment of data distribution across a chain of systems
Structure
The following comparison group types are provided by default:
Display
This type of comparison group combines comparisons and displays them in a comprehensive administration view. The comparisons can be started and stopped together.
Sequence
This type of comparison group combines comparisons that belong to a distribution of master data across a chain of systems. Groups of this type can be used as filter criteria in the administration view, they can be started and stopped, and they are correlated.
Distribution
This type of comparison group combines comparisons that belong to a distribution of master data from a single source system to multiple target systems. Groups of this type can be used as filter criteria in the administration view, they can be started and stopped, they have a validation function, and they are correlated.
