Comparison tool for comparing differences in program versions

[BenjaminLim]

Hi,

Please advice what are the tools available to compare the version of a Oracle form v4.5 or Oracle report v2.5 programs.

Rationale behind is to prevent unauthorised changes to programs however by going through the screens or the designer it is rather tedious. That is I need to ensure that the person making program modification modifies only the essential areas & do not modify the programs fraudulently or accidentally as compared with what is requested by the user & also an earlier version of that same program. This is to serve as a check to ensure quality work is done.

Please recommend suitable tools for this purpose.

Thanks.

Regards
Benjamin

Banjamin,

Use the Adminstration / convert feature to make FMT output files of the Forms (I haven't tried the reports), then compare the two different FMTs using your normal compare tool.

Have a look at FormGrep and Formdiff at

Thanks for the reply. I needed a tool that not only compares text as well as image files.
