When Conflict Detection Yields Unexpected Results
ConflictManager Reference
To view conflicts
1.
(Enterprise Management Server only.) If multiple databases are open, select a
database in the Applications/Packages pane.
2.
If you are using package groups, select a group name in the Groups pane.
The Applications/Packages pane displays only packages that are assigned to that
group.
3.
In the Applications/Packages pane, select a package.
4.
The package's conflicts appear in the Conflict List and are grouped by type.
See
Resource Conflicts
If a package group is selected in the Groups pane, only the conflicts between the
selected package and the packages in the group are displayed.
5.
To change the types of conflicts that appear, select Conflicts menu > Filter and set
the filter criteria.
See
Filtering the Conflict Display
Note
The settings in Setup menu > Conflict Settings > Types determine which conflicts
are detected. Example: If your conflict settings are set to detect file conflicts only,
then registry conflicts do not appear even when the conflict filter is set to display
registry conflicts.
6.
In the Conflict List, select a conflict.
The conflicting resources in other packages appear in the Conflict Details pane.
7.
To view a conflicting resource's properties, double-click it in the Conflict Details
pane.
The Properties dialog box appears.
Note
Because they are rare, the Properties dialog box is not available for Autoexec.bat,
Config.sys, service, device, shortcut, and path conflicts.
Warning
Changing the information on the Properties dialog box is not recommended except for
registry keys and .ini files, and then only if you are the developer of the package and
you have extensive knowledge of how Windows operates. Changing property
information incorrectly can damage the package.
