Starting a merge from the Version Tree Browser

You can use the Version Tree Browser to merge any two XML file versions that are visible in the version tree, which can include branches outside your view.

To start a merge:

  1. Open your destination view.

    This is the view that contains the to-version of the merge. It also sets the branch to which you will save the merged output.

  2. If the to-version is checked out, check it in.
  3. In Rational® ClearCase® Explorer, right-click the to-version and click Version Tree.
  4. In the Version Tree Browser, right-click the from-version and click Merge to.

    An eye icon points to the latest version on your view's branch.

  5. The cursor is now a target icon. Click the to-version.
  6. In the Merge Confirmation window, respond to the question, "Do you want to perform a merge?" by selecting one of the following options.
    • To perform the merge, click Yes.
    • If you selected Yes, select or clear the Merge the element graphically check box to indicate whether you want to perform a manual or automatic merge.
    • If the merge has been performed and you want to update the display, select No. This action cancels merging and draws a merge arrow in the Version Tree Browser.
  7. Click OK to start the merge operation.
