Comparing Integration Server Elements
You can use the compare tool in Designer to compare the following types of Integration Server elements:
Flow service
IS document type

Before comparing individual
Integration Server elements, make sure to review the guidelines in
Guidelines for Comparing Packages,
Folders, and Elements.
To compare two IS elements
1. In Package Navigator view, do one of the following:
To compare two selected IS elements with each other, select one IS element and press the CTRL key while selecting another element of the same type. Right-click and select
Compare Element(s) With > Each Other.
To compare an IS element with an identically named element of the same type on another
Integration Server, select the IS element on one server. Then, right-click and select
Compare Element(s) With > Other Server and select the server on which the second element resides.
If there are differences between the two elements, Designer displays a compare editor. If there are no differences, Designer displays a message indicating that there are no differences.
2. In the compare editor, select a difference displayed in the List of changes panel to open up the element-level view in the Content panel below.

After you have made changes in the element, save the changes. Designer displays the Reload Compare Editor dialog box, prompting you to confirm a refresh in the compare editor. Click OK to refresh the compare editor with the changes to the element.
