Object: Compare

To determine the difference of objects in two clients this module can be used. One use case is to analyse the differences between the production and test environment. The objects to analyse must be defined in a b4A object list. There are two different methods support by the module. The basic mode just checks if objects have been moved or removed from the second client. The enhanced mode also compares the attributes of objects.
