To display differences between a SysML element and connected repository target elements, right-click on a connection in the Connection Browser (or Connection Summary) and select Compare SysML & Target, as shown in Figure 80. Alternatively, right-click on a row with . Doing the same operation when selecting a SysML element and will collect all the connections to in the context of that element (and its sub-elements) will be includedrecursively and then invoke the compare operation. For example, to run the comparator for all connections to SysML elements in a package, right click on the package and select the compare option.
The compare operation works differently for the various connection types. Currently, the compare operation is supported for reference, data map, and model transform connections.

See Syndeia Tutorials (section 2.2) that illustrate the compare-and-sync process for different types of connections.
When the Compare SysML & Target command is invoked, a new tab titled Comparison Result will open on the Syndeia dashboard , as shown in Figure 82. Elements marked in red show a mismatch in one of the following categories. The mismatch could arise from changes in the SysML model side, or changes in the repository target element side, or both.
- A change in name since the connection was made or last updated
- A change in structure since the connection was made or last updated (for model transform connections). For example, this includes differences in SysML block structure and Teamcenter item/part structure or Windchill part structure; or differences in SysML requirement structure and Teamcenter Jama / DOORS-NG requirement structure.
- A change in the target revision number since the connection was made or last updated
- A change in values of properties of that element since the connection was made or last updated (for data map and model transform connections). For example, difference in slot values of SysML block instances (or differences in the default values of block value properties ) and column values in MySQL or Excel table rows.

Note:When users launch the Syndeia Dashboard for the first time after opening a project, they must reconnect to the repositories by either: (1) selecting them in the Repository List panel of the Repository Manager, or (2) selecting them in the Repository Panel of the Connection Manager (Figure 63). The compare and sync operations will not work unless the repositories have been connected and are available. |
