Compare IODFs
You can use the Compare IODFs function
to compare two IODFs and report the differences between them. For
greater clarity, you can limit the compare reports to certain perspectives
of the IODF:
- The Processor Compare Report shows
differences in the properties of channel subsystems, partitions, CHPIDs,
control units, and devices.
- The Switch Compare Report shows differences
in the properties of switches and switch configurations.
- The OS Configuration Compare Report shows
differences in device parameters, in features, in EDTs, in esoterics,
in generics defined for EDTs, and consoles.
To compare IODFs, do the following:
- Select Print or compare configuration
data on the Primary Task Selection panel.
- On the Print or Compare Configuration Data panel, select Compare IODFs. The following panel is displayed:

On this panel, select one or more compare report(s). In
addition, you can set the limit option. When the limit option is
set, the related limiting panels will come up.
On the Limit Processor Compare Reports panel, you
can limit the processor compare reports by selecting one or more of
the specific compare reports. You can limit the
reports by specifying values for a processor or either by specifying
values for a channel subsystem or a partition. It is possible to compare
an SMP processor to a channel subsystem of an XMP processor. If you want
to limit by processor, you must specify the processor IDs for both
IODFs. If you limit the processor compare report by partition name,
you receive the following results:
- The report will contain the channel subsystem in
which the partition is defined.
- Channel path compare will only contain channel paths which have
the limiting partition in their access or candidate list.
- Control unit compare will only include the control units related
to channel paths which have the limiting partition in their access
or candidate list.
- Device compare will only include the devices connected via channel
paths which have the limiting partition in their access or candidate
list.

On the Limit Switch Compare
Reports panel, you can limit the switch compare reports by one
or more of the specific compare reports. In addition, you can limit
the reports by specifying a switch ID for both, the new and the old
IODF.

On the Limit Operating System Compare
Reports panel, you can limit the operating system compare reports
by one or more of the specific compare reports. In addition, you can
limit the reports by specifying an operating system ID for both, the
new and the old IODF.

How to print a Compare IODFs Report
After you have selected the specific pairs for the compare reports,
you can decide what print options to use. The print options are shown
on the Select Print Options panel, see Figure 120.
If you do not select an option (by only pressing the Enter key),
the default print options are used (Print
inserted data, and Print
deleted data).
Examples of these reports are shown in Appendix B. Configuration reports.
Figure 120. Select Print Options (for Compare IODFs only)
*---------- Select Print Options ----------*
| |
| |
| Select one or more of the following |
| options, or ENTER to use the defaults. |
| |
| / Print inserted data |
| / Print deleted data |
| _ Print unchanged data |
| _ Print unchanged item IDs |
| |
| F1=Help F2=Split F3=Exit |
| F5=Reset F9=Swap F12=Cancel |
*------------------------------------------*
When you do not select any option, HCD prints a report of
- IDs of added or deleted objects, and those objects, that have
added or deleted relations
- IDs of added relations
- Attributes of objects that are different in both IODFs
When you select the Print
inserted data option, HCD prints a report of all attributes,
and relations of added objects.
When you select the Print
deleted data option, HCD prints a report of all attributes,
and relations of deleted objects.
When you select the Print
unchanged data option, HCD prints a report of all attributes,
and relations of unchanged objects.
When you select the Print
unchanged item IDs option, HCD prints a report of the IDs of
unchanged objects. But this applies only, if the Print unchanged
data option is not selected.
