• You can type data directly into the fields displayed or you can use PF5 from within the Compare Definitions screen to display a screen that you can use to select the objects that you require.
• After specifying your objects for comparison, press PF4 to list the differences. In the listing, an I indicates that the item should be inserted to make the objects the same and a D indicates that the item should be deleted.
If the objects to be compared in List1 or List2 are located on a remote node, enter the name of the node. Default Library/ Library These fields indicate the library in which to look for rule objects in List1 and List2. The library specification for objects in List1 can be overridden by typing the name of another library in the section below.This section contains fields for listing the items that are to be compared. Only two items per line can be compared and the items on each line must be the same object type. Different types of objects can be compared within one comparison session.
In the first list, type the name of the object that is to be compared. If you position your cursor in the FIRST List of Objects section and press PF5, a screen appears for selection.In the second list, type the name of the object that is to be used for comparison. If you position your cursor in the SECOND List of Objects section and press PF5, a screen appears for selection.Refer to Select Objects Screen for more information about selecting objects. If the object is a rule, type the name of the rules library where the rule is located.
If the objects are composed of child objects (for example, an object set is composed of objects), specifies if the definitions of the child objects should also be compared. Valid values are:N – Compare the definitions of the parent and children without specifying the child objects as individual items.
The name of the node where the selection criteria are applied. If you do not specify a value, your home location is used. If the selection list is to contain rules, type the name of the rules library to be searched. Presentation Environment Specify if all the items displayed, based on the selection criteria, should be copied into the Compare Definitions screen. Specify if you want to list all the child objects from which an object is composed. Valid values are:The middle section of the screen can be used to select the items to be copied or to narrow the selection list. You can use more than one type of selection criteria for each object type and you can specify multiple object types within one session. For a list of valid values for each of these fields, position your cursor on the field and press PF1.When you press Enter after specifying the selection criteria, the selected items appear in the bottom portion of the screen. Select the objects displayed in this section by entering an S in the line command field beside the objects. Press PF1 for valid values.
If you know the name of the item, type the logical operator to be used in the Op field. Type the name of the object in the Value field. The name of the object type. If you do not supply an object type, you must specify a value in at least one of the other selection fields.If you specify an object type and no further selection values, a listing of the items for the object type defined in your TIBCO Object Service Broker database appears for further selection. In the Op field, type the logical operator to be used. In the Value field, type the name of the unit associated with the object. In the Op field, type the logical operator to be used. In the Value field, type the name of the author of the object.
The following example compares the DEPT_EXPENSE_SUM and DEPT_EXPENSE reports and lists the differences. Both parent and child objects are compared:
The following list, produced after pressing PF4, indicates what items should be changed and the reason for the differences:
