The Rational® ClearCase® XML
Diff Merge - Comparing window is designed to help you find and understand
differences between two or more contributors. Figure 1 shows the comparison of two versions of an XML file.
If you are familiar with the Viewing window, you will notice the same display
and navigation features, plus some new ones:
- The data display shows multiple documents (two are shown here), each in
a separate pane. The base version is always displayed in the
left contributor pane, labeled [1].
- The display is synchronized across the panes as you navigate, collapse,
and expand nodes, so that the same node in each document always appears in
the same row. This enables you to compare parallel structures.
- In addition to your current node selection, there are now difference nodes.
- A new set of controls allows you to navigate difference nodes and manipulate
the display.
