While working on an upgrade, I wanted to review a project using the Web Compare Reports. The problem is that my laptop is Linux, and the reports require Internet Explorer. Here’s what I did to kind of get it to work…
This is assuming that Node JS is already installed. I installed the Node web server:
sudo npm install -g http-server
Then, I changed into the compare report directory and ran the server:
cd UPGCUST/ http-server -c-1
It gave links on how I could get to the server in the output. So, the compare report was at:
http://127.0.0.1:8081/UPGCUST/ProjectCompareViewer.html
This worked fairly well, but not completely. Chrome still has a Javascript error that renders it useless. Firefox worked except for the PeopleCode had “&” cluttering it up. I haven’t found a fix for that.
