Merge Conflict

A merge conflict is a type of conflict that occurs if Siebel Remote merges records separately on the remote client and on the Siebel Server. The following example illustrates this problem:

1. Siebel Remote merges data from account A with data from account B on the remote client.

2. Siebel Remote merges data from account A with data from account B on the Siebel Server.

3. Delete transactions have the highest priority in Siebel Remote. The situation described in Step 1 and Step 2 can cause the following delete transactions:

   • One delete transaction exists from the remote client.

   • One delete transaction exists from the Siebel Server.

4. Siebel Remote deletes data from these accounts.

To avoid this problem, it is recommended that users do not merge data on remote clients.
