Working with selection rules

The selection rules analyze each candidate object version.

When you update a project or directory, the update operation considers the candidates available for each object in the project. Update compares their properties with the properties of the project, such as the platform, to select the most qualified candidate.

If multiple candidates are tied for the highest score, update selects the one with the latest creation time.

Note: Regardless of whether you build from the GUI or CLI, use the Detect Membership Conflicts operation to detect parallel conflicts (and other conflicts). The Membership Conflicts dialog box shows parallel messages whenever multiple candidates are parallel.
Parallel messages indicate that changes were not merged, or a selection property was not set to the right value on one of the parallel branches.

For help with conflict detection, see Finding conflicts.
