Errors and How to Resolve Them

If an error occurs which stops the merge process there are two ways to recover, RESTART or RERUN. If the process stops during the Object Librarian merge or the Versions List merge, no recovery of specifications is necessary. Just rerun the merge after fixing the problem that initially caused the error. If the Merge Status column indicates that some items have merged or started merging, you must do a RESTART.

A RESTART merges items which are at a merge status of "Not Processed". All other statuses are skipped. Whether original specifications must be restored for objects with a status of "Error," "Warning," or "In Process," the status must be evaluated based on the merge action type.

Merge ActionRestore Target Specifications	Merge Status
ADDNO	Any
REPLACENO	Any
CHANGENO	NOT PROCESSED
CHANGENO	SUCCESS
CHANGEYES	ERROR
CHANGEYES	IN PROCESS
CHANGEYES	WARNING

To restore specifications for a single object, use Object Transfer to copy the object from the new pristine environment to the target environment.
