Are there any ways to compare two dxp files of a dashboard (version 1 and version 2 after changes) and get the differences in normal language

[Abhisheek Mondal]

I am trying to automate the process to find a way to compare a spotfire dashboard before and after changes to get the delta.

you could use Spotfire BI Version Control by EPAM, I do not know any other ways that are already existing.

Hi Abisheek,

You could try to use the Qualification Tool in Spotfire. It comes as a separate download, which needs to be deployed onto the Spotfire environment.
It lets you compare dashboards in 2 separate folders.

You can find more information over here: https://docs.tibco.com/pub/spotfire_server/latest/doc/html/en-US/TIB_sfire_qual_UserGuide/index.htm#t=intro%2Fintro_introduction.htm

The introduction of the User Guide states:

"Spotfire Qualification allows you to verify that an analysis in Spotfire yields the same results on different installations of Spotfire – that is, on other computers, between development/test/production environments, or after upgrading Spotfire. Spotfire Qualification includes an export tool that exports all parts of a Spotfire analysis. The first export is verified manually, and when the export is verified to be correct, it is used as a gold standard. The Spotfire Qualification compare tool then compares that gold standard with other comparison exports, reporting the differences between the exports."

Kind regards,

David
