IODF - HCD Report and Activate TEST Miss to report Explicit Device Changes

IODF Activate TEST and HCD Compare report doesn't report on the Exclusive Device list changes and Activate test result to use Force without giving more information about what is being deleted(in this case changes in the device exclusive list) which put a risk on the change management process.
Please review the Case TS005751539 for more detail.
