You can merge two object maps by comparing your
local copy with the repository copy of the file. IBM Rational Functional Tester merges the two object
maps automatically.
In cases where the object maps cannot
be merged automatically, you can manually merge the object maps. The
user interface displays the two object maps to be merged. The left
pane displays the local copy and the right pane displays the server
copy. The difference between the two object maps is highlighted. You
can move the contents from right to left to merge the changes.
Procedure
- In the Functional Test projects view, right-click on the
project and synchronize the changes. The incoming
and outgoing changes are displayed in the Pending Changes view. The
object map with conflicting changes is preceded by a red icon.
- Select the object map with conflicting changes. You can
view the differences between the two files by comparing them. The
changes are highlighted in the Object Map Compare editor.
- Merge the changes from the delivered copy with the local
copy. You can take these actions:
- Merge the changes individually: Select the change to
be merged and click the Copy Current Change from Right
to Left button. You can move to the next change using
the Next Difference button or previous change
using the Previous Difference button and merge
the changes.
- Merge all the changes: Click the Copy All
from Right to Left button to merge all the changes.
- Click Save to save your changes.
- Deliver the merged object map.
