Hi All

Is there any way to compare two .dsx files having same code but diff environments.

The preferred way would be to this via a DataStage job but you could also use the UNIX "orchadmin dump {file.ds}" on both files and "diff" them.

Oopsie, thanks for correcting me. UNIX "diff" is your friend here.

Seems, the OP is in windows. and for windows , you are having lot of freewares, where you can compare two files.

I am using EXAMDIFF.

DOS commands "comp" or "fc". Textpad (Free download text editor for Windows) also does file comparison.

My previous post turned out to be double post and it is a coincidence that you had replied in between those posts. I had deleted the duplicate post after noticing it and i guess you had replied to my duplicate post while i was trying to delete it.

Once you get version 8, you can compare two versions of, say, a job right there on the canvas, and the report contains hyperlinks to the location of all differences found. Magic!
