If you really need to compare complete applications (and not just specific objects), copy layers from one environment to Old subfolder in application folder of the other environment, restart AOS and use Tools > Development Tools > Code upgrade > Compare layers to compare individual layers (e.g. CUS and CUS (old)). The approach is similar even in AX2012, but you have to use baseline model store instead of the Old folder.

Hello Martin, This is very useful information, but I have a little variant on this question. I am using AX 2012 and I don’t want to compare all the application as you said, but I need to compare a lot of objects (more or less 3.000), and of course, it is very hard to do it manually. My purpose is to get a list of all the objects that have differences, in order to later, check the differences manually. Do you think that it is possible to achieve it through baseline model store?

Yes, putting the version to compare to the baseline modelstore makes perfect sense. Nevertheless you’ll have to design your logic by yourself. Maybe you’ll compare all layers and ignore some objects, or you’ll implement your own comparison logic that will skip some objects.
