ConflictManager Reference
25
Setting Up ConflictManager
with Rules process performs the action only on conflicts caused by files having
different version numbers.
z
A sort option determines how conflicting files are sorted and thus which one is used
to resolve the conflict. Example: If you sort by version number, then the file with the
highest version number is used.
ConflictManager contains predefined rule sets. You can edit the predefined rule sets or
create new rule sets to reflect your corporate standards.
See
Creating a New Rule Set
on page 26.
Before you create your own rule sets, experiment with the predefined rules. You might
find that the predefined rule sets resolve your conflicts satisfactorily and you don’t have
to create your own.
Rule sets are stored with the Software Manager database, therefore, if you use multiple
databases, you must set up rule sets separately in each one. The predefined rule sets
are added to each new database you create. If you open a database created in a
previous version of ConflictManager, it is updated and the predefined rule sets are
added.

How Conflict Resolution Rules Are Applied
Conflict resolution rules are applied in the order they appear from top to bottom in the
list of rules on the Conflict Resolution Rules dialog box.
When a rule contains multiple conditions, only conflicts that meet all of the conditions
have the rule applied to them.
Predefined Rule Sets
ConflictManager contains the following predefined rule sets:
Conservative
This rule set changes as little as possible to get the
package to work. It replaces files in the active package
only with the corresponding files in the conflicting
packages. An active package file is changed only if its
version and date are lower than that of the conflicting
file, and only if the manufacturer is the same as in the
conflicting file.
This rule set ignores conflicts that cannot be resolved in
a conservative way. This can result in more conflicts for
you to resolve with the Resolve wizard.
