Managing Version ConflictsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

In systems with an automatic logoff mechanism, in particular, it can happen that your lock gets lost. This can lead to the situation whereby other users may modify the same development object in the backend even if your changes have not yet been stored.

The merging function allows you to decide which version should be stored if another user has changed the same source in the backend in parallel. The merge dialog offers you options to:

  • Compare and merge the versions available: This option opens the Compare editor where you can track the changes first.
  • Keep your local version: This will overwrite the backend version of your source code with those from your ABAP project.
  • Keep the backend version: This will overwrite your local source code with those from the ABAP Repository (backend).
