-fragmentAutoResolve
(Merge only)
Resolve linked fragments during Merge.
Syntax
-fragmentAutoResolve Y|N
Description
Whenever a Form is reloaded in Design, linked Fragments are automatically resolved. This option similarly allows library changes to be reflected automatically in the runtime Merge output.
The default, N, will use the existing definition in the form file. Use Y to have Merge check all linked fragments and load new definitions. Linked fragments whose library cannot be found, or that cannot be found in the library, are ignored, and the original fragment definition in the form continues to be used. A detailed summary of which fragments were resolved can be found in the trace file by using -trace.
Although automatic updates to existing templates by Merge may be a powerful way to make system-wide changes to forms, -fragmentAutoResolve Y should always be used with caution. Proper testing and QA of the changes to production forms is very important. Changes to library fragments can cause unexpected effects. Text labels that originally display correctly might now overflow or overlap other design elements. Font changes may require changes to Merge configurations. Use of automatic updating of linked fragments in Merge should always be carefully tested before going "Live".
