Performing deep conflict detection

Conflict detection compares members of a project with its update properties. Rational® Synergy uses baselines to speed update operations.

About this task

If a build management project used when the baseline was created contains membership conflicts, the membership conflicts might be undetected by users of the baseline. Deep conflict detection performs a deep analysis, and does not disregard the makeup of the baseline.

When you use deep conflict detection, only conflict detection on projects that use a process rule are affected. The project members are compared with the baseline plus a larger set of tasks, as follows:

Any tasks that the baseline creation operation determines might not be included in all projects in the baseline.
