version-status Used to default the version to the latest test, production, or archival version of definitions.

The valid choices are:

Test

Production

Archival

Notethat the production and archival status are validonly if youare previewing the data and

not merging. The status is determined by the version-name parameter.

common-version-name Name of the version in the common domain to be linked to the specified version.

This parameter is used only if you are actually merging, the target version is not in the com-

mon domain, and LINK option is true. The default is the same as the source. If you are in

another common-version and want to default to the source common version name, specify

COMMON=!. Once the common-version-name is default to the source, it will remain default-

ing, until you specify another common-version-name. For more information concerning the

linking of versions, refer to Chapter 2.

Discussion

Before the merge process can begin, the environment to which the deﬁnitions or structure are to be merged

must be deﬁned. The target dictionary must be a master dictionary. Once a parameter in the MERGE-TO

command is speciﬁed, its value will be retained until a new value is speciﬁed.

Example

>MERGE-TO DICTIONARY=sysdic.pub;

>>SCOPE=manager;

>>PASSWORD=mgr*;

>>VERSION=version-1;

>>OPEN-MODE=shared-update.

PREVIEW

Provides a preview of the results of a proposed merge, before the actual merge takes place.

Syntax

PREVIEW [STRUCTURE-ONLY] [.]

Parameters

STRUCTURE- ONLY If this parameter is speciﬁed, then only the dictionary structure will be previewed.

This parameter, if speciﬁed, must be on the same line as the PREVIEW command.

Discussion

This command allows you to see the consequences of a merge without actually modifying a dictionary.

Note that the preview process can only be used if the target dictionary is a master dictionary. This

commands generates a report that shows the results of the merge. If structure is being previewed, the

report will contain the following information:

• Differences in the external names of entity types, relationship classes and attributes.
