External Data Sources (XDS) provide a way for LiveCompare to access non-SAP data.  LiveCompare supports: Microsoft SQL Server, Access, Excel and plain text XDS specifications.  Many LiveCompare templates reference XDSs and we usually use Access or Excel to store the data.  File-based XDSs are very convenient up until you want to edit them - maybe you have some more test cases that you want to combine with the standard Transport Impact Analysis template.  LiveCompare doesn't provide a way to edit the XDS.

Until now.

LiveCompare 2.2 adds a new Replace Data File on all file-based external data sources that means you can simply edit their content.
