VCM Merge Types:
There are 3 types of merge operations and 1 compare operation in a VCM session:
You can only use 1 merge type for each VCM session but you can perform as many VCM sessions as you like in any order.
When to use each merge type:
Each of the VCM merge types is intended to be used in specific scenarios. Which merge type you choose for a particular VCM session depends on what you are trying to merge.
Rebase:
Use a Rebase merge to “catch-up” a child view with changes that have occurred in the parent view.
Promote:
Use a promote merge to “deliver” changes in a child view to its parent.
Replicate:
Replicate simply allows you to duplicate your work across different view which does not necessarily have to be in the same project.
Compare Only:
This simply allows you to compare the contents of one view against another, or between two different configurations of the same view.
Video tutorial:
Let’s take a look at the StarTeam client and open a vcm sessions. As you can see you can select your available merge option from the drop down menu,
Promote > Rebase > Replicate > Compare only
Lets looks at the compare only option < this will compare the source view against the target view.
