Comparing environment fixes

Use this procedure to compare the status of different MCE fixes installed in all M3 BE environments.

  1. Right-click M3BE_xx.x and select Environment Compare (fixes).

    The notation xx.x refers to the current version of the M3 Business Engine.

    Note: You can also access Environment Compare by clicking the task Environment Compare (fixes) on the dashboard.
  2. The Environment Compare (fixes) tab is displayed.
  3. Select the M3 BE version to compare fixes for.
  4. In the Solution Filter field, specify a part of or the entire solution number. Depending on the filter criterion, a list with search results is displayed.

    These statuses can be displayed in the results list:

    Status Icon Description
    Applied The fix is fully applied.
    Superseded The MCE is fully replaced by a later MCE.
    Partially Superseded One or more of the files included in the MCE is replaced by a later MCE.
    Partially Applied One or more of the files included in the fix is applied, but not all of them (only valid for fixes that are not MCEs).
  5. To save the filter results, click Export List to Excel at the bottom of the Environment Compare pane.

    Use this feature to export fix information such as fix names, objects, dates when objects are deployed, descriptions, and users who deployed the fixes to an Excel sheet.

  6. In the Export List to Excel dialog box, specify a file name and click Save.
  7. When the task is finished, the Export completed notification message window is displayed. Click OK. The Excel sheet with the exported fix information is saved.

    The generated Excel sheet includes an Environment Summary tab with information on the filtered fixes. A tab for each M3 BE environment compared are also available in the exported Excel file, including all the fixes deployed for the individual environments.
