When maintaining multiple data dictionaries for different environments such as development, testing and production it can be useful to compare the contents of these data dictionaries to make sure the only differences are planned. The utility for this is the Data Dictionary Comparison Tool located in the CONNX Driver folder. This tool displays database, table, and CONNX View differences.

For data dictionaries used in Adabas Event Replication, it also displays differences in replications and controllers. After you open the tool, select two different data dictionaries, then press Get Differences. The differences will be put into categories with the details displayed one at a time.

If unplanned differences are discovered, the data dictionary can be modified in the CONNX Data Dictionary Manager. Replication or Controller differences can be changed in the Replication Administrator.
