Component Comparison pane
You can run a Component Comparison report to gather information on the components in your domain.
The Component Comparison pane contains the following sections:
- Components
- This section contains information on the component on which you want to perform the component comparison.
- Options
- This section contains information on the type of comparison you want to perform.
The Components section contains the following information and buttons:
- Version
- The discovery version.
- Available
- The list of components in your environment. You can filter the components in the list based on the text typed in the Filter field. You can page forwards and backwards through the list of components by using the page forward and page back buttons.
- Included
- Components that you want included in the comparison report.
- Add
- Moves the selected components from the Available list to the Included list.
- Remove
- Moves the selected components from the Included list to the Available list.
- Set as Key
- Sets the component selected in the Included list as the key to compare all other components against.
The Options section contains the following information and button selections:
- Level
- The level of the component comparison report generated, from among
the following levels:
- Basic
- Select this option for general configuration information, such as port number settings or directories.
- Deep
- Select this option for additional information about installed modules on Apache servers, and deployed application objects (such as EJBs) and resources (such as JDBC and JMS) on WebLogic servers.
- Include Infrastructure Services
- Infrastructure components are configured to communicate with various
services, such as a DNS service or an NFS file system service. Selecting
Include Services when comparing database components, for example,
causes TADDM to find all differences in service dependencies among
the components that are compared.
This option is off by default. It is unavailable in cases when the initial component selected is a computer system.
- Include System
- Selecting Include System compares the physical systems on which
the software resides in addition to comparing the server software.
Selecting Include System when comparing a database, for example, causes
TADDM to compare the database and the computer system on which the
database is running. When including systems in the component comparison,
the systems must have the same type. If the systems have different
types (for example, Windows and AIX®), they cannot be included in
the comparison.
This option is off by default. It is unavailable in cases when the initial component selected is a computer system.
