Program Difference Report
Program Difference Report compares two versions or packages from the same program and shows the differences between the two. When running a Program Difference Report:
- The versions and/or packages are from the same program. You will not be allowed to compare version 1 from program 1 to version 2 from program 2.
- If comparing two versions, the versions must be different. You cannot compare version 1 to version 1.
- Versions are current. The version you select will be the version currently in the system.
- Versions can be compared to a package. The package and the version can be from the same version. You can compare a version 1 package to the current version 1.
- Packages can be compared either to another package or to a current version.
- If comparing two packages, the packages must be different.
- Either RateManager or SoftRater packages can be used.
The differences that are recognized are:
- Elements that are used in one version or package but not used in the other.
- Changes to categories, inputs, variables, algorithms, sequences and result groups.
The comparisons are against elements that are used in the version or package. For example, if version 1 used revision 1 of an element and version 2 used revision 2, then the report would list that the element was used in both versions but with different revisions. Elements that are not used will not be listed on the report. For example, if an element was deleted and is no longer used by either version, the difference will not be noted.
This option is available on all programs in all s. To create a Program Difference Report, you must have either two versions, or one version and one package. If you have one version and no package, you will not be able to create a Program Difference Report.
Reports are displayed in the Insbridge Document Viewer. Reports can be saved to your local drive or network or printed. No editing can be done on the Insbridge Document Viewer.
Note: OBI Publisher must be installed and running in order for Program and Program Version Reports to be displayed. If you receive an OBI Publisher error, please contact your system administrator.
