Version Control and comparison between current and older version

Content

Hi,

There is a requirement from the client to have a version control mechanism and to perform a comparison between the current vs older version. We can understand it in a way, the client wishes to retain a copy of the hierarchy before applying monthly changes and as changes are being applied, the client can also perform a comparison for more analysis.

I know we can copy from the viewpoint and it will create all together a new Data Chain and then the comparison can be done and later can be archived. The only issue with this approach is we cannot delete the older Data Chains as it will create at least 12 Data Chains in a year per dimension and so on which will be too much to handle even if archived.
