OBIEE Merge
I am attempting to merge 2 RPD's (we are running 11.1.1.1.9 OBIEE) using a patch file(have also tried merging 2 rpd's). When I do the compare I come up with 228 differences. When I merge using the patch file I only get 2 of the differences merged. There are a large number of Init Blocks that were disabled in the Dev system(has all the changes) that are not disabled in QA(our target we want to apply the patch to). After the merge has completed the same objects are still enabled. Is there a way to get all the differences found in the compare to apply ?

From memory you can generate XML files from rpd in 11.1.1.9, yes?
There are a number of ways you can compare XML files ->

I have checked the XML File and it does show the init blocks as: isEnabled="false"

And when you run merge does it not report the clashes and give you the option which to accept?
a. Source 1
b. Source 2
c. Target
If a and b clash then which to c?

See step 30 in the below for an example of what I mean; -

My first attempt was using the Compare to create a patch file. Checked the patch file it created and then tried merging using that. It does not give me the differences dialog.
1) Open rpd offline(QA the target for where I want the changes to be applied).
2) File --> Merge
a) click Patch Repository Merge
b) Select for Original Repository
c) Select patch file
d) Save Merged repository as <new name>
Then next.
It then completes "successfully" no differences option appears.

I think if you use the 4 file strategy detailed then you get the dialogue.
n.b. One of the four files can be empty!

I've followed the steps you gave with merging the rpd's (not using the patch file) and it did give me a difference but compare shows 228 and it showed me like 6 or 7.

Which are you using as current and which as original?
Do you have the 'Equalize during merge' ticked or not?

I was using this document as the steps to follow:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23549_01/bi.1111/e10540/mngreposfiles.htm#DAFEBHGD
current = QA (unmodified rpd)
original = DEV(modified rpd)
Equalize = checked
Merge strategy:
There was only 1 decision to pick for each. I picked the Modified repository.

As previously advised try the 4 file method using an empty file, or copy of your original twice, favouring the dev version on changes.
