Create Dictionary Synchronization : Source Page

The Create Dictionary Synchronization wizard guides you through the process of comparing and synchronizing two sets of database object definitions. The object definitions can be selected from the current database definitions or from baselines created earlier with the Create Dictionary Baseline option. You can also use this wizard to schedule a future dictionary synchronization job.

Use this page to specify the following:

The name of the dictionary synchronization.
The source for the synchronization job. This can be either the database or a captured baseline.

Usage Tips

Each dictionary synchronization created by a single owner must have a unique name.
If you select a baseline version as the source, you can specify the version in one of several ways:
- A specific version number, such as 1, 2, or 3. Every time the synchronization is run, this baseline version will be used as the source.
- The Latest baseline version. Every time the synchronization is run, the most recent (highest numbered) baseline version will be used as the source.
  - Select Capture first before synchronize to capture the latest baseline version before synchronizing it with the source. This ensures that the baseline is captured as close in time as possible to the synchronization.
- The baseline version that precedes the latest version (Latest-1). Every time the synchronization is run, the baseline version that precedes the latest version will be used as the source.
