E2E Change Reporting provides a top-down view of the changes made to configuration

parameters and software items in the managed systems.

E2E Change Reporting is based on the data saved in the configuration and change
database, which is also part of SAP Solution Manager diagnostic capabilities.The
change-reporting application has two main functions: a Data Viewer and a Comparison
Tool. The functions are located in two different tabs, so you can easily switch from one
to another.
The Data Viewer on the left-hand side of the screen provides a snapshot of the store
content at a given point in time on the selected technical system. The Data Viewer also
enables you to search and filter store content. The left panel in the Data Viewer is a
navigation tool with time-stamp selection, a tree to navigate through the satellite
landscape, and a filter/ search tool. The right panel provides detailed views of the store
list and the store content.
The Comparison Tool on the right-hand side of the screen enables you to see what has
changed in a system between two points in time, or how the configuration of two given
systems differs. The embedded change-reporting comparison tool enables the user to
answer those questions. Once the reference and custom systems have been selected,
both navigation trees are automatically updated to reflect the selected time stamps. The
user can now select the entities to compare. The Comparison Tool provides an
automatic helper mechanism, from left to right, to find the corresponding entity to
compare. When you select two comparable entities, that is, entities having the same
type, the Compare button is enabled
