Example I

If you want to keep the destination file version, you need to resolve the conflict by using a CurrentVersion strategy. That will force the history of remote file to be incorporated into the local one, so the next attempt to synchronize the file will result in no operation, as it will appear that the file was already synchronized.

curl \
	-X PATCH http://localhost:8081/fs/SlaveNorthwindFS/synchronization/ResolveConflict/books/Inside.RavenDB.3.0.pdf?strategy=2
< HTTP/1.1 204 NoContent

Example II

The second option is to resolve the conflict in favor of the source file version. In this case, you need to set a RemoveVersion strategy. In contrast to the usage of the CurrentVersion strategy, the conflict will not disappear right after applying the RemoveVersion resolution, as the destination file system never requests any data from the source file system.

This operation will simply add an appropriate metadata record to the conflicted file (Raven-Synchronization-Conflict-Resolution) to allow the source file system to synchronize its version in next synchronization run (periodic or triggered manually).

	-X PATCH http://localhost:8081/fs/SlaveNorthwindFS/synchronization/ResolveConflict/books/Inside.RavenDB.3.0.pdf?strategy=1
