This is a service provided to the OTA community allowing for the automatic generation of generic OTA_UpdateRQ messages. The underlying engine which drives this service is part of the VM Tools package available via open source from VM Systems.

Differences via Web-accessible URLs

Use this form to generate differences from source messages accessible via the Web. For your convenience we have some sample OTA messages (taken from the 2001C specification document). If your XML documents are not web-accessible, you can also use our file upload interface.

Differences via File Upload

Use this form if you are behind a firewall or have documents to diff which are not accessible via the Web.
