How to Compare CIs

This task explains how to compare the hierarchies of two compound CIs, view a CI's configuration document, and show the difference between two configuration documents.

Select the Required CIs

In IT Universe Manager, select the two CIs you want to compare. The hierarchies of the two compound CIs are compared in the Compare CIs report (for details, see Compare CIs Report). You can choose to compare two CIs that appear in a selected view, or in the CMDB. For details, see CI Selector.

Example of Nonmatching CIs:

In this example, the No Matching CI icon is displayed next to the CI LABM3QCRNDDB03 because it has no corresponding CI on the other side.

The Show Different Attribute Values icon is displayed next to the MemorySize properties for the CIs LABM3QCRNDDB02 and LABM3ASTDB01 since they have different MemorySize values.
View a CI's Configuration Document

Select a CI of the CIT Configuration Document and view the configuration document. For details, see Compare CIs Report.
Show the Difference Between Two Configuration Documents

Select two CIs of the CIT Configuration Document and view the difference between the two configuration documents. For details, see Compare CIs Report.
