Hi,

We are working on a task to compare the report comparision between various webfocus environments.
For this first step is to write a report against all of the configuration files in the reporting server and compare.
Any suggestion would be helpful.

Thanks,
Saikumar.

For reporting servers, there are only 4 files of note: odin.cfg, edaserve.cfg, edasprof.prf, edastart.bat.

You can use TextPad to compare the files.

You can also create a generic master (I call mine LINE80) and filedef it to the config files and write a focexec to compare character by character.

Windows also probably has some compare utility that you could run from a script.

I like the CSDiff utility for comparing files. It gives nice colour-coded deltas.

Well you can use a fully-qualified path or APP MAP. Assuming the latter:
APP MAP SERVER1 /WebFOCUS/ibi/srv76/wfs/etc
APP FI LINE80 DISK SERVER1/edaserve.cfg

etc.
Is that what you are looking for?
