Conflict Management
The term conflict management refers to addressing or resolving the restrictions that your PDM system can place on your retrieval, modification, and storage activities in order to maintain the integrity of the database. Typically, with Windchill Workgroup Manager, you encounter two types of conflicts, as follows.
• Conflict upon an attempt to modify an object.
• Conflict upon attempting to perform a PDM transaction (referred to as an event) such as check in, check out, and so forth.
