Symptoms

Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) 12c is integrated with Apache Subversion (SVN) Version Control System (VCS).

In a branch ODI Repository created from full tag of trunk, after populating the branch Repository from SVN and then selecting "Compare With Repository Object" Option from "Version History", there are differences found where there should be no difference.

To reproduce:

1. Login to "trunk" type repository, create a full tag
   Team > VCS Actions > Create Full Tag...
     
2. Create "branch" in SVN:
   Team > VCS Actions > Create Branch from Tag...
    
3. Login to new empty work repository, associate with SVN and configure it as the branch from previous steps
   Team > Switch Versioning Application
   Team > Settings > Edit Connection
   Team > Settings > Configure...
    
4. Import all objects from SVN:
   Team > VCS Actions > Populate ODI Repository from VCS
       
5. Once the import is done, check to see if anything was changed:
   Team > VCS Actions . Pending Changes
   
   Note no differences are found with merge <Patch 26709130> installed.
     
6. Go to the "Topology" tab and right-click on "Oracle" Technology. Select "Version > Version History" and select the "Compare Versions" icon > "Compare With Repository Object" option
   
   The "Version Compare Results" dialog incorrectly shows items listed. There are two different cases observed:
    
   
   • Missing JDBC Password
   • JNDI Resource in SVN is empty
