Defining objects to synchronize

Chapter 13 Comparing and Merging Models

For manual synchronization, you have to define the following parameters:

Parameter	Description
From Parent	Model or package on the left pane used as reference. You can select another model or package from the dropdown listbox
From Object	Object on the left pane used as reference for manual synchronization, you can use the Properties tool to better identify object
To Parent	Model or package on the right pane to be synchronized. You can select another model or package from the dropdown listbox
To Object	Object on the right pane to be synchronized, you can use the Properties tool to better identify object

Manual synchronization lets you perform the following operations:

Synchronize moved or disconnected objects. You can use the Parent box to select the parent package corresponding to the package on the left pane.
De-synchronize objects that share common properties and are naturally related in the comparison process. You can select <NONE> or another object from the Object dropdown listbox in order to break the relation between objects.

The tree view of the model to be merged is automatically updated after you validate a manual synchronization.
