Process Diff Viewer

The following are the different modes of operation by which diff viewer is viewed for a process.

Compare with Local History

Before you begin
  • Import an already existing sample or create a new project.
  • The selected process should be modified and saved at least once before comparing the two revisions. This ensures that there is a local history available in the workspace.
    Procedure
  1. In Project Explorer view, right-click on the selected process and select Compare With > Local History or Team > Show Local History

    The History tab is displayed.
  2. On the History tab, select the two different revisions to compare. Right-click and select Compare with Each Other option.

    A BW Compare view is displayed, that displays the visual diff between the two different revisions of the selected process.

    In the above example, there is a change in the General and Description tab hence they are marked in blue.

    On the General tab, a change is made in the Name field, hence it is highlighted in yellow.
