Appearance

Comparison ​

The Comparison view is used to review the changes between two versions or revisions. It is accessible by selecting a version from the list in the Change Management main view. By default, when the Comparison view opens, the selected version is automatically compared to its base version.

TIP

If no base version is available for the selected item, the user is prompted to choose a version or revision for comparison.

Comparison

Version selection ​

The compared versions can be changed at any point from the input fields at the top of the page. A comparison requires both a base version and a version to compare with. Selecting either of those fields will open a dialog, listing all available versions to choose from. After choosing both versions, pressing Compare displays all differences, grouped into seven categories.

Comparison table ​

The Comparison displays shows changes across seven categories: Schemas, Interfaces, Attributes, Model Entities, Repository Types, Processes, Event Types.

Each category lists the items that have changed, along with their change type: Added, Modified or Deleted. The change type is represented by an icon in the respective color for the change.

All items share a set of common properties, shown when a category is expanded:

  • Change Type
