Note: Filters are saved to the same file and folder as Attribute Mapping Details.
To delete a filter, select the row and click Delete Filter.
To re-read the data from AVEVA Instrumentation and repeat the compare process, clickRefresh in the toolbar.
3.2 Instrumentation Elements MatchingInstrumentation element matching uses the following criteria:
• If element data from the target database (like Schematics) had previously beenimported into AVEVA Instrumentation, the Schematic Database references will havebeen stored in AVEVA Instrumentation. If available these will be used as the firstattempt to match.
• If AVEVA Instrumentation data have previously been imported into the target database,and the integration UDA was available, the AVEVA Instrumentation databasereferences combinations will have been stored in the UDA. If available these will beused as the second attempt to match.
Note: If the UDA is not available this step will be skipped. Refer to Integration UDADefinition for further information.
• If the first two attempts have not generated a match, the third attempt will match on thedefault criteria.
3.3 Display of Comparison ResultsThe results of the compare process will be displayed in the grid view. The selected elementname tab lists the matches with the total number of changes available for each.
12.0 3:2

3.4 Element Grid DetailsThe Element Grid lists the elements retrieved from source database and compared againstthe target database. The following columns are always displayed:
The Accept column displays checkboxes showing the current choice for how data will beupdated.
The Matched column displays if an element in the source database is matched against anexisting element in the target database.
State Description
Checked ALL attributes for this element will be updated into the targetdatabase.
When a module from which the application update is loaded, it allowsinsertion of new elements, then the selected elements may becreated in the target database, if required pre-requisites are fulfilled.
Semi-checked Some attributes for this element will be updated into the targetdatabase.
Unchecked No attributes for this element will be updated into the target database.
Unchecked anddisabled
No attributes for this element will be updated into the target database.This state occurs for any of the following reasons:
• There is no matching object in the target database for theelement in source database. In this case the row is greyed out.
• When insertion of new elements is allowed, the row will becoloured using "New Element Row Colour" settings.
• The element is matched and there are no attribute changes toupdate.
• The element from target database matches the one in sourcedatabase, however the element type is not appropriate.
Value Description
Yes There is a matching object in the target database.
No There is no matching object in the target database.
12.0 3:4
Instrumentation Data Update User GuideCompare and Update Data
The Matched Against column lists the type of matching object in the Schematic Database.
The No. of Changes column lists how many attribute changes are available for update.
Note: Only the attributes selected in Attribute Mapping are considered for comparison.Other attributes which are not selected for Attribute Mapping are not consideredeven if there may be mismatches between them.
The Changed Attributes column displays a comma separated list of the attributes whichhave changes available for update.
The Attributes to be Updated column displays a comma separated list of the attributeswhich have changes available for update and which the user has chosen to be updated.
3.5 Accept Changes for UpdateUse the following methods to accept which attributes should be updated:
• Use the Accept All checkbox in the toolbar to accept or reject all available changes onall objects compared.
• Use the Accept checkboxes in the Instruments or Loops tab to accept or reject allavailable changes for individual objects.
• Use the Accept checkboxes in the Attributes Details tab to accept or reject individualchanges for individual objects.
Selecting one or more rows in either tab will automatically select all the corresponding rowsin the other tab, and will set the current element to the first instrument or loop in theselection.
Selecting an object in the module specific Explorer will select the corresponding rows in thecurrently displayed tab if that object is available for update in the tab.
3.6 Update the Target DatabaseClick Update Database to apply all the accepted changes to the target database.
The following sub-sections describe the process of updating the target database for eachsupported database type.
3.6.1 Update the Schematic DatabaseWhen updating in the Schematic Model Manager or the Diagrams module, the UpdateSchematic Database window will be displayed showing the statistics from the compare
