environment comparison

[Yo Ch]

I want to know on what basis can we compare the environment in production and dev boxes in TRU64.

I don't understand your question, there are very different environments, and also, depends of the company policy.

For example, we have dev, pre-production and proeduction.

Developers does not have access to pre-producition and production. Pre-production is used to ensure programs quality.

Development server is comparable in the operating system, application versions, etc, but access and permissions are less strict.

I want to compare the dev box and the production box as in the directory structure and . We are building one application for the company and I have to see what is thr on the prod box and wht is thr on the dev box. Also I have to create a similar environment of what is thr on production using scripts as I have to automate it using build scripts. I have to write deployment scripts which is a big task in itself.

Hi,

If you want to compare the directory structure then something like:

On the Production box:
# cd /
# ls -lR > prod.txt

On the dev box:
# cd /
# ls -lR > dev.txt

Get prod.txt and dev.txt onto the same machine and then diff them.

# diff prod.txt dev.txt


However I somehow doubt this is what you really want to achieve...

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Rob

Hi,
on production box as root:
cd /
find . -type d >prod.txt

on dev box as as root:
cd /
find . -type d >dev.txt

sdiff prod.txt env.txt

N.B. Using find you are able to sse also hiddien directories (starting with dot).

I also sugegst to compare the environemnt variable as well on both boxes by 'env' command. This can aslo incluence your script.

HTH,
