Default Values for Overridable Conflicts
Life Cycle
Team
Some import conflicts will cause import failure. This section explains the default
values that are assigned when the listed conflicts are successfully overridden.
There are 2 cases in which a life cycle conflict occurs:
• The life cycle of the object in the XML file doesn't exist in the database, in
which case import fails -- a non-overridable conflict.
• The life cycle of the object in the XML file is different from the one in
database, in which case the following import actions yield the following
results:
– Default -- The database object remains unchanged.
– Import as latest iteration -- The life cycle of the newly created object is
the life cycle of the previous iteration in the database.
– Import as new version -- The life cycle of the newly created object is the
life cycle from the XML file
– Import as checked out -- The life cycle of the newly created object is the
life cycle of the previous iteration in the database.
– Modify non-versioned attributes -- The life cycle of the newly created
object is the life cycle from the XML file.
– Update checked out object in place-- The life cycle of the newly created
object is the life cycle of the checked out object in the database.
There are 2 cases in which a Team conflict occurs:
• The team of the object in the XML file doesn't exist in the database, in which
case the team of the newly created object is the team of the previous iteration
in the database.
• The team of the object in the XML file is different from the one in database, in
which case the following import actions yield the following results:
– Default -- The database object remains unchanged.
– Import as latest iteration -- The team of the newly created object is the
team from the XML file.
– Import as new version -- The team of the newly created object is the team
from the XML file.
– Import as checked out -- The team of the newly created object is the team
of the previous iteration in the database. This behavior is chosen because
