Viewing ADS-MO Unified Compare Review

On the target database, the ADS-MO Unified Compare Review grid displays all the object types in the project. Statistics are displayed for each object type in the unified project indicating the count based on object type:

  • Non-comparable objects, such as Access Groups, Trees, Cube Definitions and so forth will display a summary count for Add, Delete, Change, Same and Messages as 0 since no compare report exists for these objects.

  • Managed Objects, such as Activities, Records, Fields, Components and so forth will display the count for Add, Delete, Change and Same. No messages are displayed for Managed Objects.

  • Data Set Definitions, such as PIVOTGRID_DEFINITION, ACTIVITY_GUIDE_ITEM, RCF_SERVICES, and so forth will display the count for Add, Delete, Change, Same and Messages.

By clicking on one of the hyperlinks displayed in the grid, you can drill in to view the object instances in the project for each object type.
