Hi,

I have few jobs which i have to modify as there is a requirement for enancement. In the same time, these jobs which are in production are being changed by the production support team..Is there a way where i can do the merging of both the changes(i.e changes being done by the support team and the dev team).

Thanks!

Nope. This is a problem to all software development. It's rather tough if you don't coordinate changes.

Stop the production team from making changes. Production environments are not where changes are made, in a professionally organized software development life cycle. Make the changes in development, test them thoroughly, and only then promote the changes into production. Threaten the "production team" if necessary.
