TM1Compare Version 3 adds the ability to compare differences with your favorite file comparison utility. On the first run of TM1Compare, the File Comparison Utility configuration dialog will display. To configure a file comparison utility, follow the steps below.
The built-in comparison viewer is still available at this time, but has been known to crash the application when loading large objects. If no file comparison utility is specified, the built-in viewer will still attempt to load the comparison view, but will check the object size and display an error if it is too large to process. |
To bypass this configuration, click the Cancel button. To complete or change the configuration at any time, select the "Compare" tab in the TM1Compare Options. |
Selecting a Preferred Utility
To select one of the preferred utilities, change the selection from the top-left of the dialog. Of the preferred options, WinMerge® is very user-friendly also free to download. When a selection has been made, TM1Compare will attempt to find and fill in the remainder of the inputs necessary. If the chosen utility is not yet installed or was not found by TM1Compare, the "Utility Full Path" will need to be manually entered. The command line parameters can also be entered or updated manually.
