Running Reduced Synchronization (Logical > Physical)
Before starting, check that option "Reduced synchronization (logical > physical)" is active:
1. On the desktop, click Main Menu > Settings > Options.
The options window appears.
2. In the left pane of the window, expand the HOPEX Solutions > Information Architecture folder.
3. Click Database Synchronization.
4. In the right pane of the window, select Activate reduced synchronization (logical > physical).
To start reduced synchronization:
1. Right-click the object to be synchronized.
2. Select Synchronize.
The synchronization wizard opens.
3. Select the synchronization type "logical to physical".
An entity can be used by several data models, therefore by several databases. When this is the case, you must select the database concerned.
4. Select the Strategy.
5. Click Next.
6. Select the objects to be synchronized
The scope selected by default depends on the context in which you select the object to be synchronized: if reduced synchronization is initialized from an entity in a diagram, the diagram model in question is selected. If the entity is selected outside its context, all models in which it appears are displayed in the editor.
Selected objects are not memorized and at a new synchronization default scope is again displayed.7. Click Next.
8. Define the Synchronization Options. All standard synchronization options are available with the exception of the "Reinitialize target objects" option.
9. Click Next.
The target objects protection option is displayed, you can view frozen objects. Protection of objects cannot be modified.
10. Validate results by clicking Next.
The synchronization report appears.
11. Click OK to close the synchronization wizard.
The mapping editor appears (unless the mapping option was cleared from the synchronization wizard).
Reduced synchronization options
Reduced synchronization presents the same options as total synchronization, with the exception of:
• Reinitialization of target objects
• Order
The reduced scope of reduced synchronization does not give a valid result for these two options
