Compare a list of installed software on a base system to another system

The compare a list of installed software on a base system to another system option allows you to compare the filesets installed on a system to another system.

The lslpp -Lc output from one system is saved to a file and compared with the lslpp -Lc output from another system. The following report lists are generated:
  • A list of base system installed software that is at a lower level (baselower.rpt)
  • Filesets not installed on the base system, but installed on the other system (otheronly.rpt)
  • A list of base system installed software that is at a higher level (basehigher.rpt)
  • Filesets installed on the base system that are not installed on the other system (baseonly.rpt)

To compare a list of installed software on a base system to another system use the compare_report command with the following options:

compare_report -b BaseList -o OtherList {[-l] [-h] [-m] [-n]} [-t ReportDir -Z | -v]
