Deployment pipelines from Prod to Test - Compare missmatch

Deployment pipelines from Prod to Test - Compare missmatch

Hi together,

I have two Workspaces which are already in use in a functioning deployment pipline. But now someone developed a report in the production Workspace.

When I publish this report on the test Workspace the comparison does not match the two reports:

When I deploy the test report I have two reports and datasets with the same name on production. On with the old report URL and a new URL. Changes are only deployed to the new report.
Is it possible to match these two reports and deploying in correctly?

If you are using parameters to set what datasource to use within each workspace, If using Test Workspace then use TEST SQL Server, if using PROD use Production SQL Server would this cause a mismatch within the compare? And also cause duplicates of the same report/dataset when deploying to Production workspace from TEST? @lbendlin @Andy_S

as long as the parameter name matches you should not have issues with that.

No, they have different GUIDs.  The report names are not really important (at least not in this scenario).  

Look into using ALM Toolkit for better control.
