Comparing Database Records

The DBS Record Viewer option displays a side-by-side comparison of the selected database record in the primary and replicated services.

Note: The ReplValidator utility is only available to compare DBS-type services (ACS, APPS, AUD, BSS, DDS, ELS, ELSALM, FAC, GNS, GRP, MSS, NOTE, PNT, TRS, and VHS). See the note about validating the VHS.
