Using the Project PeopleCode Diff/Merge

After running the Project PeopleCode Diff/Merge process a blank merge interface appears and the PeopleCode Diff List window appears at the bottom of the Application Designer workspace.

The following is a screenshot of using the PeopleCode Diff List window.

The Item column contains the reference to every PeopleCode definition in the project.

The Diff column indicates whether the comparison between the two definitions uncovered any differences. If there is no difference between the two definitions, the word “identical” appears in the Diff column. If there are differences between the two definitions, the word “different” appears in the Diff column, and indicates which definition is more recent. If the definition appears in only one location, the Diff column text will read "A only" or "B only.” If the definition is not present in either location the Diff column text will read "Absent in both.”

When differences are found, the system highlights the row in red also. A and B only lines appear in blue.

Double-click a row in the PeopleCode Diff List to populate the merge interface above and view the differences between the two definitions.
