Auto Resolve Using Java API.


praveen patidar (8623544) | asked May 14 '13, 2:10 a.m.
Hello,

I am doing the stream to stream merge using RTC API. for the conflict files management, we are creating new change sets and attaching the work item. I am ok with the Merge part using Beyond compare.
I am doing beyond compare merge for the conflict files. the files that are well merged with BC I will upload back in the Workspace. After upload I am doing below stuff to mark as merge and move the files from Conflict to the merged change set. a

                IVersionableHandle ori = iItemConflictReport.getOriginalSelectedContributorState();
                IVersionableHandle selected  = iItemConflictReport.getSelectedContributorState();
                IVersionableHandle proposed = iItemConflictReport.getProposedContributorState();
                    System.out.println("- Mark as Merged for All files. "+fileItem.getName());
                    wsConn.commit(csHandle,Collections.singleton(opFactory.markAsMerged(ori, selected,   proposed)), null);
             
-----------------------------------------------------------

Issue : There is also an option at UI for Auto resolve, I tried the above thing before doing BC Merge without downloading but it is actually merging with proposed version only.

Question :
Is it possible to Merge using API ? Is RTC system smart enough to Merge a simple conflict ?

If I have version labeled as Auto Resolvable means after accepting changes my source and target becomes equal then how can I detect those changes using the conflict report API ?

For the Eclipse client, it uses Eclipse merging capabilities for text files. This isn't something you can call from the plain Java API. Other clients may implement their own auto-merging logic.

Thats what I read in one of the article but I lost the article. Thanks for the confirmation. I have seen the option to do

opFactory.merge(IMergeResultOp, versionable, versionable)

Can you please tell me how this API works? Where to get the IMergeResultOp object to pass?
