Summary Diff Reports

The Rules Palette allows for the comparison of the entities (i.e. business rules, segments, transactions, etc.) in one environment to those in another, and for the creation of reports that summarize these differences. The comparison of two environments may be needed in order to determine why one is behaving differently from another, among other reasons.

Two types of diff reports are available in the Rules Palette: Summary Diff Report and Detail Diff Report. This page explains Summary Diff Reports, which allow for the comparison of multiple entity types across the two environments. See the instructions below for information on creating and interpreting Summary Diff Reports.

Creating a Summary Diff Report

  1. Click on the Tools option in the main menu at the top of the screen and select Summary Diff Report.
  2. The OIPAS Full Environment Difference Report wizard will open. In the Items to Compare section, check the Select All box to compare all the entities within the two environments, or check the boxes next to the individual entity types to compare only those types of entities. Any number of entity types may be selected. On selecting the options, the user will be prompted to enter the Target Environments Database credentials. Enter the credentials and click Ok.
  3. The OIPAS SourceData Source field will be disabled and populated with the name of the environment that the user is logged in to. Choose the second environment from the OIPASTarget Data Source drop-down box.
  4. Click Finish. The Summary Report will generate, and the Full Environment Difference Report window will display, summarizing the differences between the two environments.

Full Environment Difference Report Window

The Full Environment Difference Report window presents all of the differences found between the two environments. See the descriptions of each of this window's columns below.

The Full Environment Difference Report window also offers two options for further analyzing and utilizing diff report data: the Show Detail button and the Export to CSV button. To use these buttons, select a row in the Full Environment Difference Report window and click the desired button.
