Basic Methodology

CA Harvest SCM provides you with the tools that you need to maintain a release or multiple releases of the same application. For example, you can work in a project for emergency maintenance release and keep those changes separate from other ongoing changes in another release. The integrated merge facility lets you automate the merging of some or all of those changes into a subsequent development process, thus eliminating labor-intensive manual merges. You can develop both short-term and long-term projects in parallel, knowing that they will not affect each other.

The concurrent development feature of CA Harvest SCM allows more than one developer to work on the same area of code simultaneously without fear of overwriting another’s changes. Merge utilities are used to resolve any conflicts between the versions.
