Hello All
New to IFS community and first post here.

We are looking for some report or automation which can compare configurations between 2 environments (ST v/s SIT or UAT environment)

Thanks
Nilesh

IFS Cloud and IFS Applications allow you to export configuration objects (Page Designer changes, Custom Fields, Workflows, Routing Rules, Permission Sets, ACPs, etc.) using Configuration Packages or Solution Manager.

  • You can export configurations from both environments and then compare the XML or CSV files using external tools.
  • Supported objects include:
    • Technical Attributes
    • Technical Classes & Templates
    • Custom Events
    • Workflows
    • Routing Rules & Addresses
    • Permission Sets & ACPs
    • Client Credentials

Recommended Approach

  1. Export Configuration from Each Environment
    Use Solution Manager → Export Configuration or Data Migration Jobs.
  2. Generate XML or CSV Files
    Each export creates structured files for comparison.
  3. Compare Using External Tools
    Tools like Beyond Compare, WinMerge, or PowerShell scripts can automate diff checks.
  4. Optional Automation
    Some customers build scripts using IFS REST APIs or SQL queries to extract and compare configurations regularly.

Community Insight

“We use Solution Manager export and then run a PowerShell script to compare XML files across environments. This works well for Permission Sets, ACPs, and Routing Rules.”
