After the comparison reports are saved as psr files (or any other type of file), you can print them out and start analyzing the data. If a field's value was changed, a U mode is assigned to this record and the changed column is highlighted with a light blue background.
The following example is for instrument type comparison.
In the second row, the highlighted changes were made in the target table. In the source table, these fields do not contain data.
In the third row, the target table does not contain an entry while the source table does. That is why there are two rows. Sometimes the field is too short to display the entire record, which causes the text to auto- scroll. Note that this can also make the field appear as two rows. You can then stretch the column to make it longer.
To analyze the data, you need to print out the reports and mark changes you want to make on the printouts. In the case of the supporting tables, this is a simple task since these tables usually include two columns. All the supporting tables are merged in one process since they are required for the main item types. Therefore, you do not need to worry about them so much.
Concentrate on the main item types:
-
Loops and tags
-
Instrument Type (although this is a supporting table)
-
Cables
-
Panels
-
Analyze the changes in process data and specifications
-
Connections (1 Side)
-
Cross Wires
-
Jumpers
-
Control system tags:
-
Loop blocks
-
Hook-up drawings
-
Mark the reports (use color markers if possible), mainly for wiring changes.
