Compare SysML and Target ends

To display differences between a SysML element and connected target elements, right-click on a connection in the Connection Browser (or Connection Summary) and select Compare SysML & Target. Doing the same operation when selecting a SysML element will collect all the connections in the context of that element recursively 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.

When the Compare SysML & Target command is invoked, a new tab titled Comparison Result will open on the Syndeia dashboard as shown. 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 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 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, differences in the default values of block value properties and column values in MySQL or Excel table rows.
