Set Additional Synchronization Options

You use features in the Options pane to further refine the synchronization criteria.

To set additional synchronization options

Click Design Layers, Sync with Model Source on the Actions menu.
The Sync with Model Source wizard opens on the Model Sources pane.
Click the Options link on the Explorer pane.
The Options pane opens.
Work with the following options:
Auto resolve missing UDPs
Copies the missing UDPs to the target model, when all the differences are due to missing UDPs. Complete Compare detects missing UDPs or property differences for common UDPs and displays the Type Resolution dialog before the Complete Compare session. Select this check box to skip the Type Resolution dialog when all the differences are due to missing UDPs.
Case Sensitive Compare
Performs a case-sensitive compare. This option affects both the alignment of objects in the object tree and the equality of property values in the property pane. When the option is cleared, case is ignored for the purposes of alignment and equality testing of text property values.
Display Unified Attributes
Select this check box to simplify the display of foreign-key attributes in the Resolve Differences dialog. When selected, a Unified Attributes group object is used to display all unified attributes (role-named or not) of the same unified set of attributes.
Any attributes that are aligned to the attributes under the Unified Group object appear as part of the Unified Group object, even if they are not unified attributes.
The Unified Attributes group object carries the unified name if all the attributes under it are part of the same unified set. If not, the name consists of a comma-delimited list of names of all the attributes under it.
Exclude Unaligned Objects in the Left Model
Excludes unaligned model-level objects from the left model in the Resolve Differences dialog. Use this option as a filter to distinguish between changes in a model subset and a larger model of which the subset is a part.
Exclude Unaligned Objects in the Right Model
Excludes unaligned model-level objects from the right model in the Resolve Differences dialog. Use this option as a filter to distinguish between changes in a model subset and a larger model of which the subset is a part.
Note: You can select both, Exclude Unaligned Objects in the Left Model and Exclude Unaligned Objects in the Right model to compare only the objects that are present in both the models.
Ignore Code Comments
Excludes blocks of comments from the body of a trigger, before including it in the compare process. If the only difference is in the comments, excluding comments enables Complete Compare to recognize that a trigger has not changed.
Prefix Owner
Matches by prefix table owner. When you select this option, objects are aligned based on both the name and owner name property.
Select Active Subject Area
Specifies that you want to select the active subject area by default in the Object Selection pane. Selecting a subject area by default simplifies the selection, especially in models that contain many subject areas.
Using Name Matching
Matches by object name. Relationship, index, and index members are aligned based on the name, in addition to the normal criteria used to align these objects. Use this property if the models that are being compared have the same named objects with different owners. In this case, you can compare to see if the two models are similar other than the owner or schema name.
Database ID
Match by Database ID. This option is available for Informix, SAP ASE, and SQL Server database servers only. When you select this option, objects are aligned based on the DB ID property if one is present.
Click Sync.
The Sync with Model Source wizard closes, and the source objects are synchronized with your target model in the main workspace. You may be prompted to resolve model differences before the synchronization can complete.

Note: You are prompted to close the model source that was opened during the synchronization process.
