Results of merging renamed elements

In the browser for IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® DiffMerge browser, element names display from the left (column) comparison side by default. The left side has more priority than the right side.

However, when switching to merging mode, Rational Rhapsody DiffMerge displays actual names (meaning the names from the chosen side either by a user or automatically).

When a name difference is trivial, Rational Rhapsody DiffMerge will merge elements automatically. See Trivial versus non-trivial differences.

For example, in the case of the modification of MyClassBefore to MyClassAfter, the new class name, MyClassAfter is taken as the merge result. Note that in the merging mode, Rational Rhapsody DiffMerge displays the actual element names. So in this example, MyClassAfter instead of MyClassBefore (that was displayed in comparison mode), as shown in the following figure:

Actual elements names are shown

If you decide to take another name value, the browser refreshes accordingly, as shown in the following figure:
