You can export reports from IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® DiffMerge that
summarize the differences found between compared units. These reports
summarize only the differences found between the compared units, not
any merges that were subsequently made.
Procedure
- Choose or .
- When prompted, provide the path where you
would like the report to be saved.
Results
The CSV format is useful when you want to
do further analysis on the difference data.
The
reports contain information regarding the following types of differences:
- element‑level differences
- attribute‑level differences
- diagram differences
- code‑level differences
Note: The content of these reports is not identical,
the Rich Text Format (RTF) report contains a greater level of detail,
while the CSV format report focuses on the kind of information that
you would want to use for statistical analysis.
In
RTF report reports:
- When differences are found in diagrams, the report
displays the different versions of the diagrams, using color to indicate
the differences between the versions.
- When differences are found in attributes of type
text, the differences are displayed line‑by‑line, using the following
symbols: <> (exists on both sides), ++ (exists
on this side only), __ (does not exist on this side).
- Code‑level differences are reported as attribute‑level
differences (the attribute name is IsBody).
When exporting reports, remember that:
- You cannot create more than one report at a time.
- You should not close Rational Rhapsody DiffMerge until
creation of the report has been completed.
