Sorry, I should have mentioned that this may be accomplished using the "ccmdb info" command which is discussed on p 105.

We have often problems when putting new files in our project via reconcile, because our database is case-sensitive, but our client (Windows) is not.

When putting a new version of a file (that now has i.e. lower casing and the previous version had not) into the database, a new file is created instead of updating the existing one.
When you try to sync that project afterwards, it fails, because it is not possible to write 2 files with the same name but different casing into a Windows directory.

Is it possible to set an existing database to ignore upper-/ lower-case?

Thank you,

Philipp Weißmann

From p. 105 of the Windows Admin Guide (6.3):

-k CASE -v value

Enables you to change a CM Synergy database between two modes: LOWER or PRESERVE.

The default LOWER mode causes file and directory names to be stored in lower case. The

PRESERVE mode maintains the case preserving setting.

Caution! Telelogic strongly recommends against changing case from

PRESERVE to LOWER for a database in which upper- or mixed-case

objects have been created.

If a database contains objects with upper- or mixed-case names,

changing case from PRESERVE to LOWER will downcase all user input;

queries, scripts, etc. containing upper- or mixed-case objects will not

work correctly.

For a detailed description of these two modes, refer to "Create Through Unpack" on page 65.
