Report: Compare models
Use
This report analyzes models based on defined options. You can compare several models with each other directly or determine comparison models for an individual source model, even across different databases, as well as determine model versions and then compare them with the source model. You can specify whether the output shows all items that have been changed, all items that exist only in the source model, or all items that exist only in comparison models. All objects, connections, free-form texts, and graphic objects are included.
On the one hand, the scope of the model comparison (existence comparison) enables you to output the differences in the existence of objects between target model (source model) and actual models (comparison models). On the other hand, you can analyze the differences in the attributes (attribute comparison) and relationships (relationship comparison) of shared objects.
Apart from the option to compare models across databases, optional selection criteria are available that enable you to determine the actual models (comparison models). You can also define when objects are to be considered identical.
Context
The comparison includes all "normal" ARIS models. Only the following models are not included in the model comparison:
UML models
Matrix models
Process schedule
Process instantiation model (PIM)
Shift calendar
Output format
The output is an Excel workbook.
