Differences Report

The Differences Report is a user-friendly report that shows the differences that were recorded after Compare Configurations runs. It is based on and has the same content as the Updates Log. The Differences Report has a more readable format that the Updates Log.

Note: The Role Engineer should verify the correctness of the differences before exporting the file to the external computer.

Regardless of whether the Role Engineer chooses to display a Differences Report when Compare Configurations is run. The file that contains the Differences Report is saved to the path and file name as entered in the Compare Configurations window.

The Differences Report file is overwritten each time that Compare Configurations is run; that is, the file name is not automatically incremented. Therefore, if the Role Engineer is interested in preserving back copies of this file, it is recommended that the file name be manually changed each time Compare Configurations is performed.

The following is an extract from a differences report that shows the main components of the report.
