Merge question (Anyone did this before?!)

florynx

Hi im trying to merge two databases originals without customizations but with different countries specific objects.
In Developer's Toolkit I need 3 DB versions: OLD, CURRENT and NEW. How should I set these versions if I have only 2 databases?
Or should be enough to import all objects in one database (the country specific objects having different IDs)

thank you

You could set your versions:
database1=OLD,
database2=CURRENT,
database2=NEW.
That should not affect your merge process if CURRENT =NEW. As a result, you get fourth version that is merge of OLD, CURRENT and NEW which means merge of database1 and database2.

This is just as an idea, I did not use Toolkit for migration for real!

Hi

You can import just your 2 databases and then use the "Compare 2 versions" options in the "Tools" menu.

Hope this helps

Best regards,
Ole

I tried 3 combinations and noone seems to work (

CURRENT:db1
OLD:db2
NEW:db1
=>just copy objects from db1 (no conflicts)

CURRENT:db2
OLD:db1
NEW:db2
=>conflicts at almost all objects, last for one day and crushed when almost done

CURRENT:db2
OLD:db1
NEW:db1
=>just copy objects from db2 (few conflicts)

Is there a way to actually merge the objects with developer's toolkit or other tool??
Most of the differences are just multilanguage captions!!

Does importing the appropriate language layer solve the caption differences?
