Comparing versions of a model to find differences

You can compare two or three models to find the differences between them. When you compare models in a parallel development environment, the models must have a common ancestor.
You can compare models outside a source-controlled environment or within a team environment using a configuration management system, such as IBM® Rational® ClearCase®. When you compare two versions of a model, their differences are displayed. When you compare three models, two sets of differences are displayed:
  • Differences between one version (the left contributor) and the common ancestor
  • Differences between the other version (the right contributor) and the common ancestor

The differences that conflict between the two sets are displayed as conflicts.

Attention: To prevent data corruption when you compare or merge models, you must have the appropriate patch for both your IBM Rational ClearCase client and server environments.
