Select the Left Model in the Complete Compare Wizard
Use the options in the Complete Compare Left Model Selection dialog to select a model, script, database, or a model located in a mart that will be displayed in the left pane of the Resolve Differences dialog.
Follow these steps:
- Click Actions, Complete Compare.
The Complete Compare Wizard opens.
- Click Left Model.
The Left Model Selection pane opens.
- Load a model, script, or database from one of the following sources:
- File
Opens a model from a local file. Click Load to browse for the file.
- Database/Script
Lets you select a script file or database. You are prompted to select the script file or database using the Reverse Engineer wizard. You use the Reverse Engineer wizard to create the list of model objects and properties in the left model pane. The selected database or script is reverse engineered to a new model in the workspace.
Note: If you choose to reverse engineer from a script file, select a file that is saved either in ANSI or ASCII format.
- Allow Demand Loading
When you reverse engineer a database or script file, improves performance by loading only the names of top-level objects (tables, views, materialized views). This enables Complete Compare to load the database quickly because it is only comparing names. When you align or perform an action on a partially loaded object in the Resolve Differences pane of the Complete Compare Wizard, the properties are fully loaded to complete the compare action. Clear the Allow Demand Loading check box to suppress this default setting. Clear the Allow Demand Loading check box if you plan to work with the model you reverse engineered from the database after using Complete Compare. If you do not clear Allow Demand Loading, the resulting model will only be partially loaded and will be missing the substructure of various object, tables, views, and so on.
- Mart
Opens a model from a mart. Before you select this option, connect to the mart using the Connection Manager from the File menu. The Library Manager opens, and you can select the model from a library.
- Set selected model as read-only
Loads a model as read-only. When you work with the model in the Resolve Differences dialog, you cannot change it. Use this feature to perform a "one-way" compare.
- Click Next to continue to the next pane.
The left model selection is saved.
