Compare Parameters

This workflow compares the system parameters retrieved from two SAP systems and generates a Dashboard report from the comparison results.

Creating RFC Destinations

Before you begin, you will need to create RFC Destinations for each of the SAP systems you wish to compare.

Preparing the Workflow

To prepare the Compare Parameters workflow, drag its workflow template from the Templates folder into your own workspace, and modify the workflow as follows:

To specify the systems to compare:

  1. Select the System 1 parameter and choose ‘Edit RFC Destination’ from its context menu to display the RFC Destination dialog.

  2. Select the RFC Destination for the first system to compare, then click ‘Save’.

Repeat the above steps to link the System 2 parameter to the RFC Destination for the second system to compare. Save the workflow using the ‘Save’ toolbar button.

Running the Workflow

To run the Compare Parameters workflow, click the 'Run' toolbar button, choose ‘Run Now’ from the diagram’s context menu, or press F5. The currently running workflow action is marked with an animated display. When the workflow execution has completed, select the Report URL dataset and choose ‘View Details’ from the context menu to access the generated report.

Dashboard Report

The Compare Parameters workflow generates a Dashboard report which includes the following charts:

  • The Comparison Summary pie chart provides a summary of the compared parameters by their comparison status.

  • The Comparison Summary by feature column chart provides a summary of the compared parameters by feature.

Additional Resources

The Additional Resources section of the Dashboard report includes links to the following reports:

Details

This HTML report provides a summary of the compared parameters, and a more details report showing the comparison status for each parameter on the systems that were compared.

Analysis Input Data

This Excel report contains a copy of the input parameters used to produce the workflow’s Dashboard report. The value of each input parameter is stored in a separate worksheet, which is named after the parameter whose value it contains.
