Creating a New Rule Set
ConflictManager Reference
Aggressive (using
application paths)
Aggressive (using isolated
components)
Restore original conflicts
If the predefined rule sets do not meet your needs, and you don't want to edit a
predefined rule set, you can create a new rule that reflects your corporate standards.
To create a new rule set
1.
Select Setup menu > Conflict Resolution Rules.
The Conflict Resolution Rules dialog box appears. The upper list box contains the
rules in the selected rule set. Select a rule to display its details in the lower list box
(the Rule description list).
2.
From Rule Set Name, select <new>.
The Enter Rule Set Name dialog box opens.
3.
In Rule Set Name, enter a unique name to identify this rule set and click OK.
4.
On the Conflict Resolution Rules dialog box, click Add to add the first rule for this
rule set.
The Rules wizard starts and opens the Name page.
5.
Enter a name for this rule and click Next.
The Actions page appears.
6.
In Which action(s) do you want to perform?, mark the check box next to each
action to perform, in the order they should be performed.
The actions you mark appear in the Rule description list.
Note
When you mark an action, any other actions that are incompatible with it are
unavailable.
These rule sets change as many files as possible in the
active package and can change files in other conflicting
packages. They replace all conflicting files with the most
recent version; this means that files in the other
conflicting packages might be replaced. Do this only
when you have access to the other packages' source
files and can recompile the other packages.
The aggressive rule sets also try to isolate any files that
are shared by multiple packages.
The aggressive rule sets can resolve more conflicts than
the conservative rules. The disadvantage is that you
must export, recompile, and retest any other packages
that are changed.
This empty rule set provides an easy way to undo a
package's conflict resolutions and revert to its original
file versions and locations. When you resolve with rules,
the first thing any rule set does is revert all previous
conflict resolutions for the selected package. Because
this rule set contains no rules, that's all it does.
