Except where noted in the text, the information in this chapter applies to upgrade and cumulative update customers only. You can run any of the merges in two ways:
Proof mode creates merge reports, but does not update control tables. Use proof mode to examine the changes that are reported without updating your tables.
Update mode creates merge reports and updates items in the control tables.
Tip: Check each merge as it
finishes to make sure it completed successfully. Also, save your logs in case you
have to troubleshoot problems.
