We have a NANT scripts which are using for packaging automation. We also comparing previous DB and current DB if any structural and Data changes with SQLCompare command line tool.
Even I compare same database, I can't get exit code "63" which means "two databases are identical". I am getting always exit code "0". How can I control if DBs are identical or not ?
NANT Scripts for SQLCompare :
*<property name="remcom.machine" value="server"/>
<property name="remcom.user" value="${server.user.administrator}"/>
<property name="remcom.pwd" value="${server.password.administrator}"/>
<property name="remcom.workdir" value="${sqlcompare.dir}"/>
<property name="remcom.command"
value=""${sqlcompare.file} /s1:${compare.db.instance} /u1:${compare.db.user} /p1:${compare.db.pwd} /db1:${db.current} /s2:${compare.db.instance} /u2:${compare.db.user} /p2:${compare.db.pwd} /db2:${db.previous} /f /q /sf:e:\redgateReports\${script.file} /r:e:\redgateReports\${report.file} /rt:Interactive /options:IgnoreWhiteSpace,IgnoreFillFactor,IgnoreFileGroups,IgnoreUserProperties,IgnoreWithElementOrder,ForceColumnOrder,IgnorePermissions,NoSQLPlumbing""/>
<call target="RemoteCommand"/>
<property name="sqlcompare.exitCode" value="${remcom.result}"/>*
THIS IS THE CODE WHICH I AM CONTROLLING THE EXIT CODE :
<property name="compare.failed" value="${sqlcompare.exitCode != '63'}"/>
<if test="${property::exists('failIfDifferent') and failIfDifferent == 'true'}">
<fail if="${compare.failed}" message="Exit code is NOT 63. DB stuctures [ ${db.current} and ${db.previous} ] are NOT identical. see report files in server: ${report.file} " />
</if>
Thank you for response. I tested my sqlcompare command on my local machine . It didn'T give me "63" code. Then I create a comparison project with sqlcompare and used same options in my command line option list Then it worked fine and now I will test it in our NANT scripts and server.
Best Regards.
