Chapter 7 Consolidating documents in the repository
Consolidation always takes place in the current repository branch.
The branch creates a work environment to help you manage document versions. You always consolidate or extract document versions in the current branch. To consolidate into another branch, you have to change the current branch before consolidating the document.
For more information on branches, see section Managing Repository Branches in chapter Managing Document Versions in the Repository.
When you consolidate a document you have to select a consolidation mode. The consolidation mode is designed to help you select the correct parameters in the consolidation dialog box.
There are four consolidation modes in the repository:
Each consolidation is processed as one transaction. If you consolidate large models using the New mode, the server will create large rollback logs, and use a large number of locks; you might want to configure your server to allow such large transactions. Consolidations in Update, Integrate, or Branch modes usually use much smaller transactions, and will not require as much resources.
