Updates Log

The Updates Log is a file generated in a format that can be exported to the production server in order to update its databases. It shows the differences that were recorded when the Compare Configurations process was run and has the same content and is generated at the same time as Differences Report. The Differences Report has a more readable format than 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 the Updates Log when Compare Configurations is run, a file that contains the Updates Log is generated. The file that contains the Updates Log is saved to the path and file name as entered in the Compare Configurations window.

Note: The Updates Log 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 an Updates Log that shows the main components of the log.
