Compare and Update Data : Element Grid Details

The Element Grid lists the elements retrieved from the source database and compared against the target database. The following columns are always displayed:

The Accept column displays check boxes showing the current choice for how data will be updated.


State	Description
Checked	If matched, this element may be linked and/or have all its mapped attributes updated in the target database. When not matched, this element will be created in the target database, and may be linked and/or have all its mapped attributes updated in the target database.
Semi-checked	Some of the mapped attributes for this element will be updated in the target database.
Unchecked	No element will be created or linked and no attributes for this element will be updated in the target database.
Unchecked and disabled	This can occur when the element is not matched in Schematic Model Manager. Here element creation from Compare/Update is not allowed as data there is authored in another system. It can also occur when an element is matched to an inappropriate type.

The Matched column displays five possible options.


Value	Description
Yes	There is a matching object in the target database.
No	There is no matching object in the target database.
Multiple Matches	One element in the source database is matched by multiple elements in the target database. This occurs when pipes are matched by key attributes to a pipeline. There will be one row for each matched individual element. This situation occurs only when comparing between two Dabacon databases.
Linked	The element in the target database is linked to an element in the source database. This situation occurs only when comparing between two Dabacon databases.
Multiple Links	Multiple elements in the target database are linked to an element in the source database. This situation occurs only when comparing between two Dabacon databases.

The Matched Against column lists the type of matching object in the target database.


Value	Description
One of the types allowed for this particular match, or a UDET based on one of those types	When the element is matched to an appropriate type.
Wrong type: <type>	When the element is matched but not to an appropriate type.
Not Matched	When the element is not matched.

The No. of Changes column lists how many attribute changes are available for update.

Note:

Only the attributes selected in Attribute Mapping are considered for comparison. Other attributes which are not selected for Attribute Mapping are not considered even if there may be mismatches between them.

The Changed Attributes column displays a comma separated list of the attributes which have changes available for update.

The Attributes to be Updated column displays a comma separated list of the attributes which have changes available for update and which you have chosen to be updated.
