The conflict detection operation shows you the conflicts for a project hierarchy. Additionally, you can perform deep conflict detection, which is a deep analysis of project members that considers tasks and objects that are in or came before the baseline. (See Performing deep conflict detection.)
A progress indicator appears while Rational Synergy analyzes your project. When the analysis is complete, the Membership Conflicts dialog box displays the conflicts for a project. If no conflicts are found, a message displays in the main window status bar indicating that no conflicts were detected.
Now you are ready to resolve conflicts. If you are not sure what the conflicts and dependencies mean, read the next two sections, Categories of conflicts and Conflicts and dependencies. If you already know about conflicts and dependencies, you are ready to resolve the conflicts in your project, which is described in About conflict resolution.
Many options in the Membership Conflicts dialog box can help you sift through conflicts. For a discussion of those options, see Resolving membership conflicts in a project or project grouping.
The -r option specifies that conflicts will be shown recursively for all subprojects and the top-level project. If you do not want to show conflicts for the hierarchy, do not include the recursive option.
