Testing your work after a merge

At the point in the delivery when all versions are merged, the deliver operation is still in progress. The destination versions (the new versions resulting from the merges) are checked out and visible only in your integration view.

Your integration view shows your delivered work and the work that other team members have delivered. To make sure that your work is compatible with other delivered work, test the work in your integration view before you complete the deliver operation.

On Windows® systems, to go to your integration view, click OK in the Merges Complete window. Your integration view is opened in HCL VersionVault Windows Explorer. An additional window, Deliver Status, remains open. Consider leaving it open to facilitate completing the deliver operation after you build and test.

Your organization can use the VersionVault build tools, clearmake or omake. The clearmake tool is available on Windows systems and on the UNIX® system or Linux®. The omake tool is available only on Windows. The build auditing and build avoidance features are available only from dynamic views.

For more information about clearmake or omake, see VersionVault Guide to Building Software and the reference pages in the VersionVault Command Reference.

In addition to building and testing, you may need to do the following:

• Edit the versions checked out to your integration view to resolve build errors
• Check out and edit additional elements to resolve build errors
• Update your integration view
• Undo a deliver operation
