How to Use the Compare Registries Utility from a Command Line

Command:	Description:
compare, comp	Compares the contents of two registries and displays the result.
./systems	You can compare:
./files	• The current system to a different system
./system2file	• Two registry files in the Repository
	• The current system to a registry file in the Repository

Example:

>compare /systems <2nd system>

OR

>compare /file

<reg_file_1> <reg_file_2>

OR

• Any of the above, but only view the differences between the

	two commands.
	Optionally, you can include an argument to dump this output to
	a local file. Output is stored as XML-formatted text.
	When viewing results:
	• Values whose data are identical in both systems are prefaced
	by Common Value =
	• Values whose data are unique to the current system are prefaced
	by SRC =
	• Values whose data are unique to the current system are prefaced
	by SRC =
instance	Used in conjunction with the compare command, specifies the
	customer instance whose registry values will be compared.
	If not specified, the List command automatically returns registry
	values for the first customer instance it finds on each compared
	system.

>compare /system2file <reg_file>

To see only differences between the two registries, use/diffonly at the end of the command.

>compare /systems <2nd system> /instance <instance_name>

apply

/src2diff

/diff2src

Copies a registry value from one registry to another, or from a file to a registry, using values from the last compare command result.

Use the /src2diff and /diff2src arguments to specify which direction the value should be copied.

>apply <keyname> <value> /src2diff

OR

>apply <keyname> <value> /diff2src

save

Note that you can only copy values to a registry; you cannot copy a value to a file.

Saves the latest compare command results to a registry file in the >save application server's Repository.

OR

Saved output is stored as XML-formatted text.

>save <filename>
