Version Compare Report

The Version Compare report (R983051N) compares the processing options for interactive versions and batch versions between two environments or data sources. Environment (1) and Data Source (1) are determined from the current sign on environment. You specify Environment (2) or Data Source (2) in a processing option to indicate the environment or data source to use for comparison.

Before an upgrade, you can compare the versions in the Production and Pristine environments to determine which versions were added, deleted, or changed. After the upgrade, you can use the report to verify that your modifications were carried forward to the new release.

Another way to use the report is as an audit or validation tool. For example, if a version performs as expected in a development environment but not in a production environment, you can use the Versions Compare report to see if there are processing option differences in the two environments.

The comparison report includes both a summary and a detailed section. The detailed section is sorted by system code and object type.
