Configure Two-Way or Three-Way Compare from WorkArea

If you have configured an external compare tool for Workbench, CA Harvest SCM uses the same tool for comparisons at the WorkArea also. The default mode is two-way comparison. If you want to change the comparison mode, you must configure the same.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Tools, Preferences in Workbench.

   The Preferences dialog appears.

2. Navigate to General, Compare/Merge, External Compare/Merge Tools.

   The right pane displays the details of the tool that you have already configured and the associated command line options.

3. Select one of the following options under Compare Tool Options:

   2-way

   Specifies that the compare and merge operation will use two-way comparison.

   3-way

   Specifies that the compare and merge operation will use three-way comparison.

   Note: WinMerge does not support three-way comparison. DiffDoc does not support two-way and three-way comparison. For more information about the parameters in the previously mentioned commands, see Default Command Line Settings.

4. Click OK.

   The changes are saved. You can now perform the comparisons in the configured mode from WorkArea.
