compare_sla
Compares two SLAs as defined by two XML files. This utility outputs the difference trees as sla1_compare.dif and sla2_compare.dif in the specified directory. You can use a diff utility to diff these two files. Compare two sla.xml's to find out the difference.
Format
emcli compare_sla -input_file=sla1:'first_xml -input_file=sla2:'second_xml' [-dir='directory'] [ ] indicates that the parameter is optional
Options
-
input_file=sla1
File name for the first XML file.
For more information about the input_file option, see -input_file Syntax Guidelines.
-
input_file=sla2
File name for the second XML file.
For more information about the input_file option, see -input_file Syntax Guidelines.
-
dir
The default is the current directory. If you need to specify another directory, use this option for the output files sla1_compare.dif and sla2_compare.dif.
Example
This example compares two SLAs as defined in sla1.xml and sla2.xml, and outputs sla1_compare.dif and sla2_compare.dif in the current directory.
emcli compare_sla -input_file=sla1:sla1.xml -input_file=sla2:sla2.xml
You can use a standard diff tool to diff the files, such as This example for Linux:
diff sla1_compare.dif sla2_compare.dif
