Merge Id, Merge priority and can be merged properties of PCD objects
Merge Id, Merge priority and can be merged properties of PCD objects normally come to use when we implement business packages. Buisiness packages contain roles, worksets, pages, iviews, folders etc. It may happen that multiple business packages contain the same workset. When those business packages are deployed onto portal and roles are assigned to users it may happen that same workset is assigned twice or than twice to the same user or to the same group. for example
business package B1 has workset W1 and W2. Business package B2 has worksets W1 and W3. Also B1 has roles R1 and R2. R1 contain worksets W1 and W2. R2 contain W3 and W4. Business package B2 has roles R3 and R4. R3 contain worksets W1 and W3
business package B1 has workset W1 and W2. Business package B2 has worksets W1 and W3. Also B1 has roles R1 and R2. R1 contain worksets W1 and W2. R2 contain W3 and W4. Business package B2 has roles R3 and R4. R3 contain worksets W1 and W3

But before we go ahead and setup a support desk scenario for portal, we need to make sure that solution manager is installed and support desk plugin is installed in it. Solution manager system is added in the portal system landscape using the system landscape directory. User mapping between portal solman system is done. The user in solman system using which user mapping has been done must have suffisient rights in solman system to open support tickets.
