Comparing Customized Modeling Languages

Does anyone know of way to compare customized modeling language and/or custom properties files? I'd like to be able to identify the difference between v1 vs. v2 just from the files themselves.  Any strategies would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

     

    I believe the only way at this point in time is to use a trick and compare 2 XML files.

    You need to create an empty notebook in your repository.

    Create a single object (a topic for instance), then Menu Interface --> CIF ---> Export.

    You get an XML file that contains the modeling language customizations, including custom properties.

    Do the same operation for 2 modeling languages and compare the 2 XML files.

    Going forward, Provision may offer more capabilities to maintain & track changes to modeling languages.

    THanks,

    THierry.

    Hi

    I gave this a go as I wanted to check what customisations I've made in both properties and modelling language.  I got the XML file and will use it to check my modelling language documentaion.
