Detecting Conflicts During Bringover Update Transactions

Usually, the conflict resolution process begins when you attempt to put back files that have changed in both the parent and the child workspaces. The Putback transaction blocks the transfer of files from the child to the parent because the version of the file from the child will overwrite changes made in the parent.

After the Putback transaction is blocked, you must use the Bringover Update transaction to update the child. (If Putback is executed with the Auto Bringover option specified, then the Bringover transaction is initiated automatically by Configuring.) If, during the Bringover transaction, Configuring determines that the file in the child has also changed, a conflict exists. All files included in the Bringover Update transaction that are not in conflict are copied or updated normally.
