Find wizard step 1
On this window of the wizard, specify a destination view. From the Find Wizard, you can locate all elements that require a merge and optionally perform the merge. To do this, you do the following:
- Specify a view for the merge.
- Specify elements to be considered for the merge.
- Choose how version selection is to be done.
- Decide on merge mechanics.
Before you perform a merge, you should verify that everything is checked in on the branches participating in the merge.
Destination view
Your destination view is the view to which you are merging; that view must already exist. The choice of a view differs for your environment.
On a DevOps Code ClearCase® system
The destination view can be snapshot or dynamic.
For a snapshot view
To merge to a snapshot view:
- Consider updating the view before you merge.
- Click Merge to a snapshot view. This activates a list of existing views that you have previously used in Merge Manager. Either select a view from the list of existing views or type in the path of a snapshot view that you can access. If you type the name of a view that does not exist, an error message appears.
- Click Next.
When you merge to versions in a snapshot view, you merge to the version currently loaded in the view. This may not necessarily be the version that the config spec selects. After you merge to a version that is not the latest on the branch and check in the merge results, you are required to merge the latest version in the VOB with the checked-out version. To perform the checkin, you must perform the merge.
To merge from a snapshot view
You cannot use the Merge Manager and the Find Wizard. Use the merge command from the command line.
For a dynamic view
- Click Merge to a dynamic view. This activates a list of existing dynamic views that are in your network region. Either select a view from the list of existing views or type in the view tag of a dynamic view that you can access. If you type the name of a view that does not exist, a window with an error message appears.
- Click Next.
