To modify shared elements from within IBM® Rational® Rhapsody®:
This option saves any changes that were made to the Rational Rhapsody model and synchronizes the Teamcenter project with the Rational Rhapsody model.
Because changes made through Rational Rhapsody might conflict with changes made by other users to the Teamcenter database, any changes made from within Rational Rhapsody must be merged with changes that might have been made by other users. This action is done by using IBM Rational Rhapsody DiffMerge. Each time the user opens the corresponding Rational Rhapsody model, a "base" version is also copied to the client machine. When the user saves their changes, Rational Rhapsody compares these changes and any changes contained in the current version from the server against the "base" version. In a rare case, where conflicts are found between the versions, these conflicts can be resolved using Rational Rhapsody DiffMerge.
