Final selection of CIs in a comparison job

After the CIs are identified for comparison, the comparison service performs another CI loading activity. Because the identified CIs were initially loaded with just three attributes, the comparison service needs to reload the CIs with all the attributes that are needed for comparison.

Based on the include and exclude attribute set, the comparison service launches multiple threads to load and compare the attributes needed for each class. The baseline and target CIs are loaded in parallel and another thread compares the CIs. By default, 500 CIs are loaded at a time, but you can configure this number from the Preferences menu option of Drift Management. The Compare thread performs the comparison of attributes values based on the comparison operator specified such as NE, EQ, GT, LT.
