Merge Catalog

The Merge Catalogs utility enables you to merge two or more catalogs to create a new catalog.

This utility is specifically provided to enables you to take an updated catalog, typically one shipped with a new version of OpenPlant which may have had some new components added, and merge it with a previous version of a catalog that you have been using to make it current.

The utility checks each row of the selected catalogs against one another and creates a new catalog containing all of the common component records of both catalogs and any new records that have been added.
