Comparing and Merging Decision Tables

You can compare a decision table with another decision table in the project.You can also copy all or selected differences between the two tables under comparison.

Note: To change the appearance of the Compare view, select Window > Preferences > TIBCO BusinessEvents > Compare/Merge.

From the structural compare window, you can merge changes in a decision table.

Note: You cannot merge remote decision table versions. The Copy actions are disabled when remote versions are compared.

Procedure

In Project Explorer, select two tables you want to compare.
Right click and select Compare With > Each other from the context menu.

You can also use buttons to perform the compare and merge operation (see Compare Editor Buttons).

The Compare editor displays the two tables.
To merge (copy), select individual differences and click one of the copy actions.

For example, to overwrite a local change with the remote (approved) version, select the change and click Copy right to left. In the left column, the entry for the difference disappears.

This feature can be useful when the approved version of the decision table is newer than the local version, but you do not want to overwrite all changes in the local version (using the Update command).

It can also be useful to copy useful parts of one local decision table to another local decision table.
