The conflicts that may arise while performing a Save As in a Task are as follows:

The step sequence in the Source or Target Task is changed.

Example:

  • "Task1" present in Source Project has three steps A, B, and C.
  • It has been copied to Target Project so the Target Project also has the same task with three steps as A, B, and C.
  • If the "Task1" step sequence is changed to say B, A, C in the Source or Target and a Save As is performed again, a conflict will occur and the task will not get copied.

Steps have been added in the Target Task.

Example:

  • "Task1" present in Source Project has three steps as A, B, and C.
  • It has been copied to Target Project so the Target Project also has the same task with three steps as A, B, and C.
  • If the "Task1" has one or more additional steps added in the Source or Target and a Save As is performed again for the "Task1," a conflict will occur and the task will not be copied.

Steps have been removed from the source or target task.

Example:

  • "Task1" present in Source Project has three steps as A, B, and C.
  • It has been copied to Target Project so the Target Project also has the same task with three steps as A, B, and C.
  • If the "Task1" has one or more steps removed in the Source or Target and a Save As is performed again for the "Task1," a conflict will occur and the task will not be copied.

The Task Name in the Source or Target Task is changed.

Example:

  • "Task1" present in Source Project. It has been copied to Target Project so the Target Project also has the same task.
  • If the name of "Task1" has been changed in the Source or Target and a Save As is performed again for "Task1," a conflict will occur and the task will not be copied.

The static data value for the step in the source or Target Task is changed.

Example:

  • "Task1" present in Source Project has been copied to Target Project. So the Target Project also has the same task. If the static data value for a step has been changed in the Source or Target and a Save As is performed again for "Task1," a conflict will occur and the task will not get copied.

The Objects used in the Target Task may be conflicting.

The Custom Actions in the Target Task may be conflicting.
