User performs a VDiff and gets the following error: Entity could not be found: "work1.a(unc:puma\temp\chris\space dir\work1.a-arc)"! In this example: Workfile = work1.a
This occurs when you select the Ignore Whitespace option in the Difference Report dialog box (graphical interface) or use the VDIFF -B command (command-line interface).
Perform vdiff -b command between your server.xml.old file and the file server.xml.org_8210 that is include with VM 8.2.1.1 (and newer) to see if any changes were made.
