This function is used to compare the data of the respective Setup.inf (master) to those in the database. In case of inconsistencies, an alert is sent, and you can decide how you want to proceed. If no error message is displayed when this action is performed, your data are consistent.

To compare the versions in the software depot with the setup scripts:

1. Go to Tools > Check Versions.

The Check Versions dialog will be displayed. Each time a variance is detected between the settings in the software depot and the setup scripts, a Checking Conflicts dialog appears where you can decide how to proceed.

Check Versions dialog

• Category. Specifies the category that is being processed.
• Package. Specifies the readable name of the package that is being processed.
• File. Specifies the name of the setup script from where information is scanned and compared to the entries in the software depot.

Checking Conflict dialog

In case of conflicts during the check, this dialog allows you to respond accordingly. Unless there is an error in the Setup.inf, you should always take over the value from the Setup.inf into the database.
