  • 1.  compare .xdd files

    Posted May 14, 2018 06:56 PM

    Hello All, 

     

    I would like to compare the schema differences between two versions of siteminder ( 12.5.2 and 12.7 SP2). I do not want to use the command diff between the xdd files of old and new, but differences in the schema ( maybe structure wise ).

     

    If anyone has already attempted or have an idea how can I do, it would be highly appreciated.  Or does CA has in-house available? 

     

    I am still searching on the internet for any proper tools. 

     

    And is xdd format is CA's proprietary extension? Looks not but I couldn't find page referring to it, all are showing for xsd format.

     

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Hi Radha,

     

    Unfortunately, there isn't any tool to compare xdd. The best we can do at the moment is a diff. Note the xdd doesn't really change much even between major releases.

     

    And yes xdd is a CA's proprietary format.

     

    Regards,

    Ujwol

    What exactly are you trying to figure out/solve ? As I said there are no special comparison tools. It has to be done manually.
