Environment Comparison by Objects Migrated Report

Given two environments, the Environment Comparison by Objects Migrated report compares the history of all the objects migrated into each environment (using Deployment Management) and lists any differences. These differences include objects migrated into:

  • One environment but not the other

  • Both environments but at different times

The Environment Comparison by Objects Migrated report uses an internal object inventory table for information on objects migrated to each environment. At the time of execution, the workflow engine uses the workflow definition to determine the environment to which an object is being migrated, and then updates the object inventory table accordingly.

Caution: The workflow engine does not recognize any cases where the destination environment is overwritten in the object command while it is being migrated.

Tip: This report provides a useful way to compare environments, but compares the environments based on the Deployment Management migrations into that environment. It does not make any comparisons at the file system or database levels.

To run the Environment Comparison by Object Migrated report, users must have a Deployment Management license.
