Abstract
A 2-way and 3-way compare-merge tool that allows consultants and customers to reconcile the changes that they have made with a generated copy of the resources. Systems and methods that provide an effective, easy-to-use comparison tool includes: a schema-aware compare; sophisticated handling of collection properties, especially nested collections; effective matching algorithms to recognize that two items are the same business object in spite of outward differences; an ability to accept user hints and input and persist user decisions; a structured report that reflects the structure of the business object; color formatting, tagging, and filtering to find the important changes among the large volume of differences (among the thousands of changes per resource). Furthermore, adding a common ancestor as a third data point in the 3-way compare identifies the source of changes.
