You can use the compare editor to compare and merge the
source code of routines that are stored in a data development project.
Before you begin
Before you can compare and merge routines, you must create
more than one routine in a data development project.
About this task
These instructions describe how to compare and merge the
source code for routines that are stored in a data development project.
You can also compare routines at a file (*.spxmi) level by right-clicking
two routines and selecting . However, comparing
and merging at a file level is error-prone and is not recommended.
Procedure
To compare and merge routine source code:
- Right-click two routines of the same type, and select . You can select two routines
that are stored in two different data development projects. However,
the routines must be of the same type. For example, you can compare
two SQL stored procedures, but you cannot compare an SQL stored procedure
to a Java™ stored procedure. The
compare editor opens.
- Use the toolbar icons in the compare editor to merge changes
from one routine to the other, then press Ctrl + S to save your changes. You can also make changes by typing directly in the compare
editor.
Results
The changes that you made in the compare editor are added
to each routine.
