Compare and Track Projects

Often during the project life cycle, you do not know exactly which objects need to be moved from one project to another. This is because there are many developers working on a project and it is difficult for a single person to know all of the work that has been done. The migration process becomes much easier if you first compare objects in the source and destination projects.

You can use the MicroStrategy Project Comparison Wizard to compare objects in related projects. This wizard tells you which objects are different between the two projects, and which objects exist in one project but not in the other. From this list you can decide what objects to move between projects, using Object Manager. For instructions on moving objects with Object Manager, see Copy Objects Between Projects: Object Manager.

You can track changes to your projects with the MicroStrategy Search feature, or retrieve a list of all unused objects in a project with the Find Unreferenced Objects feature of Object Manager.
