To save and retrieve a merge for reuse

About this task

While a merge is in process, you can save its state for reuse or completion at another time.

Procedure

  1. In the Merge Manager window, start the merge, if you have not already done so.
  2. Select one or more elements, right-click in the selection, and click Merge > Merge Elements.
    Diff Merge runs.
  3. In Diff Merge, click Save As and provide a name for the file.
    Information needed to restore the state of the merge is stored in this file. By convention, merge files are named with a .mrgman suffix.

Results

The next time you start the Merge Manager or click Open in the Merge Manager window, your saved merge file appears on the list of files that you can open.
