User Interaction
A briefcase reconciler should attempt to carry out reconciliation without user
intervention. The more automated the reconciliation, the better the user's
perception of the process.
In some cases, user intervention may be valuable. For example, a document
system may require a user to review changes before accepting the merged version of
a document or may require comments from the user explaining the changes that
have been made. In these cases, the initiator, not the briefcase reconciler, is
responsible for querying the user and carrying out the user's instructions.
In other cases, user intervention may be necessary. For example, when two
versions have been edited in incompatible ways. In such cases, either the initiator
or briefcase reconciler must query the user for instructions on how to resolve
the conflict. In general, no initiator can rely on completing a reconciliation
without expecting some user interaction. Reconcilers, on the other hand, have
the option of interacting with the user to resolve conflicts or requiring the
initiator to do so.
