NON-COMPARABLE OBJECT TOOLS
• Three tools
• Compare and Report on non-comparable objects
(through Integration Broker)
• Copy objects between environments (through
Integration Broker)
• Automatically generate Data Mover scripts to
copy non-comparable objects to/from file
• Enable direct compare and copy operations
across networks

VS. DATA MIGRATION WORKBENCH
• Introduced in PeopleTools 8.53, DMW provides similar functionality
• However, DMW is unwieldy
• Requires access to file servers
• Requires in-depth knowledge of PS_*_HOMEs
• Requires dealing with file permissions and ownership
• Forces you to work with separate projects
• In Addition, the Non-Comparable Object Tools enable full database compares

hand-coded DMS
