Compare a Package Version with Trunk

You can compare a version in a package with the version on the trunk it is derived from.

Follow these steps:

Right-click the package or the Version Root node and select Compare with Trunk from the shortcut menu.
The Compare View tab displays the latest version of all the files in the package.
Double-click the file that you want to compare.
The differences in the selected version and the previous trunk version are highlighted in the compare window. Any further comparison uses the same compare window. While comparing the files from a previous trunk, the trunk versions in the present package are not considered.

If you double-click the R-tagged file, the comparison uses the contents from the local file system to compare with the parent trunk in the CA Harvest SCM repository.

Note:
- If one of the compared versions is a large file (according to your preferences set in the Version page), the Compare Version Attributes dialog opens.
- If you have configured an external tool for compare, a separate instance of the tool opens for different versions of the package.
