Is there a tool or a process that can reveal changes made to the schema of an ArcSDE database when comparing two versions of the same database hosted on different servers?

I have an old database that has been running a site, and a newer version, and I'd like to be able to get a heads up about what has changed in terms of schema and contents.

  • Different SDE versions within the same db always have matching schema. Schema modifications to any version always affect all versions - even older ones. – Ragi Yaser Burhum Jan 12 '12 at 22:19
  • @Ragi Yaser Burhum - The different versions are hosted on separate servers. I've edited it to clarify that. – Dan Monego Jan 13 '12 at 13:51

EDIT: This looks like the best option from NASA in 2010.

archiving is now availble in 10.0

Also track user changes is coming :) oops.

You might also look for "the differ" script. It is a bit old but might give some direction.
and old editor tracking
