You can compare two different versions of the same Workflow Process or task UI. Two separate windows are used to display these differences.
To compare different versions of a Workflow Process or task UI (Siebel Tools)
-
In the Object Explorer, click Workflow Process.
Alternatively, you can compare two versions of a task UI.
-
In the Workflow Processes list, choose two versions of the same Workflow Process.
Make sure you choose two versions of the same Workflow Process and that these versions include different values in the Version property. If you choose two entirely different Workflow Processes, the comparison will not be meaningful. Click Revise to create a new version of the same Workflow Process.
For more information about choosing two workflow versions, see Selecting Multiple Records in the Object List Editor.
-
Click the Tools menu, click Compare Objects, and then click Selected.
Each Workflow Process version opens in a separate window. It displays the first record that you selected in Step 3 in the first window and the second record that you selected in Step 3 in the second window. It compares the first record to the second record. It considers the first record as the newer record. It uses the following colors to indicate differences between these records:
-
Yellow. The color Yellow indicates that you modified the object. For example, you added a process property to a business service step.
-
Red. The color Red indicates that you deleted an object from the old version.
-
Green. The color Green indicates that you added an object to the new version.
Note the following behavior:
-
If you click an object that is not in the color Red or Green in one window, then the corresponding object is selected in the other window. This functionality works only if a corresponding object exists. For example, if you click an object that is colored Red or Green, then no object is selected in the other window because no corresponding object exists.
-
Double-click an object to view details about your modifications.
-
Repeat this procedure to compare multiple sets of workflows, where each set is displayed in a separate tab. Click each tab to navigate between sets.
-
To compare the Workflow Process properties between two versions, double-click the background of either version, and then an object comparison dialog box opens showing the differences between process properties instead of the differences between process steps. If a difference exists between the process properties of the two versions, then the background color of one of the versions changes to Yellow.
