The Report Differences utility allows you to produce a report on the differences between two models, two labeled versions of elements in the source control bank, or the .model files in two different directories. You can also create a report on any mixture of those options, such as a model and a set of .model files in a directory. However, you should ensure that the differences reported upon are of value as the wizard does not determine the suitability of the objects being selected for the report.
To compare labeled versions of elements in the source control bank, perform the following:
Perform a Get Latest or Get By Label using the Source Control Client.
This places all the files of the project in the target directory.
Invoke the Report Differences Generation Wizard to compare the target directory with an AB Suite model or another directory.
You can use the Tools, System Modeler Tools, Report Differences menu to produce a report in XML format that displays the differences between two files, or two models.
To create a differences report, perform the following:
Open a System Modeler project in Visual Studio.
Select the model in the Class View.
On the Tools menu, select System Modeler Tools, and then click the Report Differences menu item to display the Report Differences Generation Wizard.
