Compare BW Entities

Different elements of equal or different systems or equal elements from different systems can be compared via the function "Analyze/Compare Elements".

Open

To compare objects, you have to access the comparison mode after analyzing the object in the current system.

Open

After this, you can select a system. If an object with the same technical name as the analyzed object exists in the system, it will already be preselected. Otherwise, another object can be selected and just dragged into the right area.

This is also possible for multiple entities, as long as the number of objects is the same in both areas.

After the elements have been selected, they can be simply compared with the parallel scrolling, activated by the parallel scrolling button. There are three ways to compare the objects automatically:

1. Highlight all identical elements
By using this option, the elements which occur in both systems, are highlighted in green.

2. Highlight differences
By using this option, the elements which do not occur in both systems, are highlighted in red.

3. Hide Identical elements
By using this option, the elements which occur in both objects, are hidden. Different elements are highlighted in red.

Comparison of multiple Entities

It is also possible to compare multiple objects at once.

Comparison of Transformations connected to DataSources

Transformations that have a DataSource as a source object usually have different IDs across the system landscape. When comparing these Transformations with Analyze/Compare, the System Scout automatically selects the corresponding Transformations and adds them to the filter, when Comparison Mode is started.
