Synchronizing Objects Between Repositories

You can use the Compare Objects dialog box to synchronize objects.

To synchronize objects between repositories (Siebel Tools)

1. Lock the projects that the objects that you want to synchronize reference.

2. In the Object List Editor, choose two top-level object types of the same object type.

   For more information, see Selecting Multiple Records in the Object List Editor.

3. Click Tools, click Compare Objects, and then click Selected.

4. In the Compare Objects dialog box, choose an object in the First Selection box.

   For more information, see Elements of the Compare Objects Dialog Box.

5. Click the (right, forward facing) arrow button.

   Depending on whether or not a corresponding object exists in the repository that the Second Selection section represents, one of the following happens:

   • Corresponding object exists.The properties of the object in the repository that the Second Selection section represents are modified. The properties are modified so that they are equal to the object properties of the object that the First Selection section shows.

   • Corresponding object does not exist. A corresponding object is created in the repository that the Second Selection section represents.

   If you synchronize an object from one repository to another repository, then not only is the object synchronized but all child objects included in the object are synchronized.
