About setting up a merge

To set up a merge, you specify information in the Find Wizard.

• A view

  The view must be capable of being started. Depending on the view type, you may not be able to use Merge Manager. For details, see Find wizard step 1.

• Elements to be considered

  The Find Wizard determines the base contributor of each version that you include in the considered list. All differences between the base contributor and each non-base contributor are taken into account. For details, see Find wizard step 2.

• Version selection rules

  You must specify the objects to be merged: versions of file elements, versions of directory elements, or any other files. You can indicate versions selected by a source dynamic view or by branch, label, or advanced version selectors. For details, see Find wizard step 3.

• Merge mechanics

  You can merge directories automatically or manually, and, if manually, specify some search options. Also, you specify how symbolic links are treated. For details, see Find Wizard step 4.
