Key Resync CP
Concepts
NOTE
Using the Resync CP Command
When working in your sandbox, you can also use the Resynchronize By CP
command. When you select a member and use Resynchronize By CP,
Source Integrity automatically searches the change package associated with the
member and resynchronizes the selected member and all other member files
contained in that change package. For more information, see “Using the Resync
By CP Command” on page 436.
If the issues you are looking at have numerous associated change
packages, you can also use a single change package—a resolution change
package— that contains all the associated change packages, to resolve it.
The Resync CP command includes a process for creating resolution change
packages that can be used for this purpose. For more information on
resolution change packages, see “Working With a Resolution CP” on
page 428.
The next four sections describe how the Resync CP command works and
on how you can use it in your development environment. The topics
covered are:
“Key Resync CP Concepts” on page 407
“How Resync CP Works” on page 408

Procedures for the graphical user interface
The following outlines the key concepts associated with the Resync CP
command:
The Resync CP operation takes place in a sandbox rather than directly
in the project. Resync CP does not drop members or update member
revisions in the project, but works only in your sandbox. Resync CP
also performs merges and adds required members to your sandbox.
If you need to merge files to create your solution, you must use Resync
CP rather than Apply CP. Resync CP performs three-way merging
and can therefore only merge around a consecutive range of revisions.
Resync CP allows you to work with open change packages.
Resync CP provides additional options beyond those available for
Apply CP, including options for Restore Revision Timestamp, Allow
Open Change Packages, Keyword, and certain merge options.
