Use this procedure to match the source and the target <units> after connecting to a database and selecting the source domain or plant hierarchy item. In this way, the Merger Utility transfers data from the selected source <units> to the selected target <units> which you are going to link. This procedure applies where you have selected a source plant hierarchy item other than a <unit>.

  1. On the Connect to Source dialog, select Match Plant Items.

    SHARED Tip If the Match Plant Items command button is not available, first select Plant Hierarchy to open the Source Plant Hierarchy dialog where you must select the domain, a plant, or an area as the source. This action automatically opens the Match Plant Hierarchy Items dialog.

  2. On the Match Plant Hierarchy Items dialog, match each target <unit> individually to the source <unit> by selecting in the Target (left) data window, the row that represents the required target <unit> and dragging it to the required cell under Connected To in the Source data window.

    • You can map multiple source <units> to the same target <unit>.

    • If <units> in the source and target have the same names, you can connect them automatically by selecting Match Names.

    • You cannot map a <unit> onto itself.

  3. Select OK to return to the Connect to Source dialog.

SHARED Tip If you need to merge the entire plant data; that is, matching all the source and target <units>, you should consider merging the data in several separate sessions. Merging the entire plant data in one session may take a long time because it increases the time required to generate the comparison reports. Also, a single merge session requires more client and server computer resources.
