Starting a comparison from the Version Tree Browser

You can use the Version Tree Browser to compare any two XML file versions that are visible in the version tree, which can include branches outside your view.

Before starting this procedure, you should have determined the contributors, including the to-version. You do not need to choose a base version; one is selected for you.

To start a compare operation:

  1. Open a ClearCase view that contains the XML file element.
  2. In ClearCase Explorer, right-click the XML file element and click Version Tree.
  3. You can compare an XML file with its previous version, or with any other version that is visible in the version tree.
    • To compare one version with its previous version, right-click the later of the two versions that you want to compare and click Compare > With Previous Version.
    • To compare one version with any other version:
      1. Right-click the later of the two contributors that you want to compare and click Compare > With Another Version.
      2. Click the second contributor.

The two versions are displayed in the XML Diff Merge window.
