Compare Environments Wizard¶

Once you selected a Virtual DataPort server and optionally a Scheduler server for both source and target environments, the compare environments wizard will be shown, composed of two trees.

In both trees the differences will be show through the background color of the element, as follows:

• The elements that are shown in both trees with a transparent background are elements that are found in both source and target environments.

• The elements appearing in both trees with an orange background are elements that are present in the target environment but not in the source, so they are candidates to be removed in the target environment.

• The elements appearing in both trees with a green background are elements that are present in the source environment but not in the target, so they are candidates to be added in the target environment.

• The elements appearing in both trees with a purple background are elements that are present in both environments but have internal differences.

In addition, a summary of the number of differences found between the two environments will be displayed on the bottom margin.

Internal Differences¶

For those user-defined stored procedures, views and web services that are present in both environments but are not identical, you can check their internal differences. These elements will be displayed with a purple background and a drop-down.

When opening the drop-down, the details of the fields of the element will be shown, indicating with the color code described above the differences that make the element not identical in both environments.

Revision Candidate Elements¶

You can select from the Target elements all the elements and jobs that the revision or revisions will include. The candidate elements that you can select are the same as those described in section Revision Candidate Elements.

Creating Revisions from Compare Environments Wizard¶

Once you have selected elements from the Target elements tree, the save button will be enabled and by clicking on it you will be able to create one or two revisions. The revision(s) that will be created will depend on the elements you have selected.

• If you have selected candidate elements to be added (green background) or modified (violet background) in the target environment or elements that are present in both environments (transparent background), a CREATE revision will be created. This way, when you click on the save button, a new tab opens where you can configure the name and (optionally) the description of the CREATE revision to be created.

  

• If you have selected candidate elements to be removed (orange background) in the target environment, a DROP revision will be created. This way, when you click on the save button, a new tab opens where you can configure the name and (optionally) the description of the DROP revision to be created.

  

• If you have selected candidate elements to be added or modified in the target environment or elements that are present in both environments, and candidate elements to be removed in the target environment, two revisions will be created, which will be associated since their creation.

  • A CREATE revision will be created with the candidate elements to be added or modified or the elements that are present in both environments.

  • A DROP revision will be created with the candidate elements to be removed.

  This way, when you click on the save button, a new tab opens where you can configure the name and (optionally) the description of both the CREATE revision and the DROP revision.
