Conflict automatic merge

Conflict automatic merge

Hello everyone,

 suppose to have this scenario:

  •   A developer checks out (non exclusive lock) a file locally, and modifies it.
  •   Another developer checks out the same file (non exclusive lock), modifies it and makes a check in.
  •   The first developer tries to check in the file from local to remote after the other developer.

Now the question is:

 If there are no conflict Integrity perform an automatic merge (as GIT do) highlighting the difference by compare the content?

 I take for granted that conflicts must be resolve manually.

 

Thank you !

The default settings are that the first developer will be prompted to resynchronize to member revision, merging as needed:

If they choose to resynchronize and merge, they will be prompted to choose the type of merge:

If they choose Automatic and there are conflicts, they will then be prompted to launch the conflict resolution tool.

You can change the defaults in the user preferences. Select File > Preferences. Expand Configuration Management then Commands. The Check In and Merge commands are the ones to change. If you want everything as automatic as possible, then choose On Newer Revision: Resychronize for the Check In preference, and Merge Type: Automatic.

One more thing: After the merge is done, whether automatic or manual, the Check In is marked as Deferred. The user must select Member > Submit Deferred or submit the change package to complete the Check In.
