Resolving Copy Conflicts

Resolving Copy Conflicts

When the Copy Wizard encounters a conflict, it prompts you to resolve the conflict before continuing the copy process. The Copy Wizard provides you with the resolutions depending on the type of conflict.
The following table describes the Copy Wizard resolutions:
Resolution Name
Description
Availability
Copy
Copy a connection object.
When the Copy Wizard cannot find a connection object in the target repository.
Browse
Click Browse to choose a server, connection, or mapping. You must select a valid object in the target folder for the copy process to succeed.
When the Copy Wizard cannot find a server, connection, or mapping in the target folder it displays the Browse button.
Rename
Change the object name when copying it to the target folder.
When an object with the same name exists in the target folder.
Replace
Replace the existing object in the target folder.
When copying to another folder in the same repository or another folder in a different repository and an object with the same name exists in the target folder.
Reuse
Use the existing object in the target folder.
When a reusable object exists in the target folder.
Skip
Skips copying the object.
When an object with the same name exists in the target folder.
If the target folder has duplicate objects, you can compare them to the objects you are copying to determine the differences. Click the Compare Conflict link in the Copy Wizard to display source and target views of the objects.
The following figure shows the conflict when you try to copy an object to a folder that contains an object of the same name:
In the Copy Wizard, the object default_session_config has a conflict. The resolution is set to Reuse.
In the figure, the selected resolution reuses the object.
The wizard prompts you to select a resolution for each unresolved object in the copy. Optionally, you can apply the resolution to all unresolved objects of the same type, or to all conflicts in the copy. To apply the resolution to more objects, click Apply This Resolution To and choose either All Conflicts or conflicts for just the specified object type.
