Filtering the comparison in Rational Rhapsody DiffMerge

You can ignore certain meta‑elements during the comparison by modifying the DiffAttributesFilter preference in IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® DiffMerge. By default, the preference is set so that the Attributes pane hides all service attributes that are not meant to be compared or merged. If you want to ignore additional attributes, you must append their names into the value for the DiffAttributesFilter preference.

Procedure

  1. Open the Preferences window. Choose View > Preferences.
  2. Expand the Suppressions category.
  3. Change the value for the DiffAttributesFilter preference. You can edit this preference to add other elements to ignore.

Results

Note: Preferences set in DiffAttributesFilter affect Rational Rhapsody DiffMerge if you change them in the site.prp file before Rational Rhapsody DiffMerge is started.

For more information about the DiffAttributesFilter preference, see Suppressions preferences category.
