Label | Explanation | Data Type |
Input Base Features | The Input Base Features are compared with the Input Test Features. Input Base Features refers to data that you have declared valid. This base data has the correct geometry definitions, field definitions, and spatial reference. | Feature Layer |
Input Test Features | The Input Test Features are compared against the Input Base Features. Input Test Features refers to data that you have made changes to by editing or compiling new features. | Feature Layer |
Sort Field | The field or fields used to sort records in the Input Base Features and the Input Test Features. The records are sorted in ascending order. Sorting by a common field in both the Input Base Features and the Input Test Features ensures that you are comparing the same row from each input dataset. | Value Table |
Compare Type (Optional) | The comparison type. The default is All, which will compare all properties of the features being compared.
| String |
Ignore Options (Optional) | These properties will not be compared.
| String |
XY Tolerance (Optional) | The distance that determines the range in which features are considered equal. To minimize error, the value you choose for the compare tolerance should be as small as possible. By default, the compare tolerance is the XY tolerance of the input base features. | Linear Unit |
M Tolerance (Optional) | The measure tolerance is the minimum distance between measures before they are considered equal. | Double |
Z Tolerance (Optional) | The Z Tolerance is the minimum distance between z coordinates before they are considered equal. | Double |
Attribute Tolerance (Optional) | The numeric value that determines the range in which attribute values are considered equal. This only applies to numeric field types. | Value Table |
Omit Fields (Optional) | The field or fields that will be omitted during comparison. The field definitions and the tabular values for these fields will be ignored. | String |
Continue Comparison (Optional) | Indicates whether to compare all properties after encountering the first mismatch.
| Boolean |
Output Compare File (Optional) | This file will contain all similarities and differences between the Input Base Features and the Input Test Features. This file is a comma-delimited text file that can be viewed and used as a table in ArcGIS. This file will contain all similarities and differences between the in_base_features and the in_test_features. This file is a comma-delimited text file that can be viewed and used as a table in ArcGIS. | File |
