Save and load data comparison documents

Last modified: October 1, 2024

You can save the Data Comparison document (the one that opens after comparison to show comparison results) for the future usage. The saved file has the ‘*.dcomp’ extension and contains data comparison information, including:

• Source and target settings

• Selected values for comparison options
• Selected values for synchronization options
• Schema mapping settings

It does not contain data comparison results or object DDL. When the file is opened, data are recompared. If target or source can not be found, the New Data Comparison dialog appears, where you should set source or target options.

Save a data comparison document

To save:
