Comparing and Synchronizing Objects Between Repositories and Archives

You can compare two objects that are of the same object type. Siebel Tools uses color-coded icons to highlight differences. You can choose and copy properties and individual child objects from one object to another object. You can use this feature to propagate a modification that you make to an ancestor object to the descendents of this object or to other objects that are of a similar type. You can assess and adjust differences between objects. You can also compare properties of checked out objects with their counterparts on the Siebel Server. For more information about ancestor objects, see Configuring Siebel Business Applications.

You can compare two objects that are of the same type. The Object Comparison dialog box displays a line-by-line comparison between the two objects. You can compare the top-level objects that are defined in the following items:

• Current repository

• Different repositories

• Archive files

Note: You can compare and synchronize objects between repositories and archives when Workspaces are not enabled (a flattened repository) and the concept of Workspace is not applicable.

For information about top-level object types, see Displaying Object Types in the Object Explorer.
