Saving a View Compare/Merge Session to a Change Package

There are several ways to save a View Compare/Merge session: VCM Session > Save , and VCM Session > Save to Local . However, only VCM Session > Save saves the session as a change package.

Note: To open a session on a different computer, export the file instead of saving it by using VCM Session > Export menu. Export creates a View Compare/Merge exchange file (.vcmx) which allows the entire View Compare/Merge session to be transported to another computer, allowing the session to be imported from the Project > Open Shortcut menu on that computer.

Start a View Compare/Merge session and resolve the conflicts in it.
Choose VCM Session > Save . The Change Package Properties dialog box opens.
Make any desired changes to the change package properties and click Save.
This saves the session as a change package object into the target view of the StarTeam Server.

Once you have saved your session, you can continue editing your session until you are ready to save it again or commit it.
