| 14 | TITLE Merge main window and workflow |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | OCCURRENCE ARB_MERGE |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | DESCRIPTION The top area of the window displays the source and the |
|---|
| 19 | target databases involved in merging. |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | In order to be able to merge between two databases, |
|---|
| 22 | they need to |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | - share consistent alignments (see LINK{mg_alignment.hlp}) |
|---|
| 25 | - use synchronized IDs for species (see LINK{mg_names.hlp}) |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | Whenever you merge into an existing database (DB) you need to 'Check IDs ...' |
|---|
| 28 | before you will be able to transfer items (species, SAIs, trees, ...). |
|---|
| 29 | This isn't necessary if you are exporting from a DB into a new DB (in which |
|---|
| 30 | case the 'Check..'-buttons will be inactive) |
|---|
| 31 | |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | After alignments and IDs have been synchronized, select any of |
|---|
| 34 | the 'Transfer..'-buttons to transfer different items from the |
|---|
| 35 | source to the target DB: |
|---|
| 36 | * LINK{mg_species.hlp} |
|---|
| 37 | * LINK{mg_extendeds.hlp} |
|---|
| 38 | * LINK{mg_trees.hlp} |
|---|
| 39 | * LINK{mg_species_configs.hlp} |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | After you performed all wanted merges, you will like to save the target DB. |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | In case you were merging into the DB loaded in the |
|---|
| 44 | current ARB (see LINK{arb_merge_into.hlp}) there is no need to |
|---|
| 45 | save yet (therefore the buttons are inactive). Just close |
|---|
| 46 | the ARB_MERGE window and save as usual in the ARB main window. |
|---|
| 47 | |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | NOTES In case you have changed the source DB (e.g. delete some data) you may save |
|---|
| 50 | it using 'File/Save source DB'. |
|---|
| 51 | |
|---|
| 52 | You may start the target DB after saving using 'File/Quit and start target DB'. |
|---|
| 53 | |

| 54 | EXAMPLES None |
|---|
| 55 | |
|---|
| 56 | WARNINGS The ARB main window and ARB_MERGE share the same properties. |
|---|
| 57 | When saving properties in one of them, you may want to restart the other before you |
|---|
| 58 | save properties there (otherwise you will loose any changes from the first save). |
