Comparing AIX Runtime Expert profiles

Use the artexdiff command to compare two profiles or a profile values with system values.

To compare the profiles for two different systems complete the following steps:

Run the following command from system 1:
```
artexget -p all.xml > all_system1.xml
```
Run the following command from system 2:
```
artexget -p all.xml > all_system2.xml
```

To verify any configuration parameters are changed on a system after a period of time, for example, if you go on vacation and want to verify any changes while you were gone, run the following commands:.

After you return from vacation, run the following command:
```
$ artexget -p all.xml > all_before_vacation.xml
```
To view any configuration changes that occurred during your vacation, run the following command:
```
$ artexdiff -c -p all_before_vacation.xml
```
