Using BeyondCopare as default comparison differences viewer

DESCRIPTION
This article shows how to integrate BeyondCompare differences viewer with ApexSQL Diff

SOLUTION
ApexSQL Diff is shipped with CompareIt, its default difference viewer that is used for identifying script differences during comparison. However, you can use virtually any other third-party difference viewer with ApexSQL Diff. You just need to provide such information as the full path to that executable and, if necessary, the appropriate command line arguments.

Here are the steps how to integrate BeyondCompare with ApexSQL Diff

1. Install BeyondCompare
2. Set BeyondCompare as your default External Difference Viewer
2.1 Open Tools | Options | Diff Viewer tab from the Main menu.
2.3 In the Executable field enter the path to the BeyondCompare executable on your computer (for example C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 3\Bcompare.exe)
2.3 Optionally you may set BeyondCompare additional arguments (or just leave as it is)
2.4 Click OK



Now after the call the External Difference Viewer you can watch the script differences using BeyondCompare.
