Compare

This page compares two servers based on attribute definitions to see if they are identical. Depending on the options you choose in the Replica Frame, you will see differences on the base, on the target, or an indication that they are equal.

In the schema replica ring, you can select to compare two different replicas holding the schema. If it happens to be a server with xrefs only, you can compare the servlet you are reading the schema from with one of the read/write masters. In the Assistant Frame, you can change what you are seeing, but you cannot submit information in the Assistant Frame and the Replica Frame at the same time to get two different reports.

If the Data Frame shows differences in the attributes, you will see the original definition followed by any differences on the target. You can also see differences in time stamps, etc.

Data Frame Output
There are four possible outputs. You can select one or more of the them.

Differences
Shows the definitions that are different.

Base
Shows the definitions on the base.

Target
Shows the definitions on the target.

Equal
Shows the definitions on the base and target that are equal.

If you run a comparison and there are no differences on the base or target, you may get one of the following messages: "No items found only on the base" or "No items found on only on the target." This means the schema is synched, but there are no differences. The schema is matched by name, so if the name is the same, then the definition must be the same or there is a synchronization difference or a difference in the local DS implementation.
