reconcile command

You can compare the files in your work area with your database files. Discrepancies between the work area contents and the database are called work area conflicts. The reconcile command identifies these work area conflicts and resolves them to make your work area consistent with the database.

Work area conflicts occur in these cases:

Additional errors can occur with controlled links and symbolic links and the work area paths. You must manually resolve these types of conflicts.

A few other ways to use this command with files that are checked out include:

For example, if you are not running a session but you must modify a non-modifiable object, you can change the object in your work area. You can update the database later by resetting the Read Only attribute on the file and modifying it. Later, when you start a session, use the reconcile command to update your database with the work area changes.

Note: To stop a reconcile from the CLI, enter <CTRL+C> at any time.

When you stop the reconcile from the CLI, a message displays stating that errors might occur in your work area. The errors do not occur until you try to use the work area. To avoid problems, reconcile the work area before you use it.

Some operations perform some reconcile actions automatically:

The reconcile command supports these subcommands:
