Hello,

I have one database with many projects. Some of these projects are used as a relative subproject in multiple projects.
The problem is that I can not correctly specify the workarea property of the reused project.
It the past it worked most of the time but know it doesn't anymore.
Synergy/CM returns with the error:

Warning: Unable to make work area path relative to parent's - ambiguous.
Warning: Object version project~1.0_20060301 is being used in other projects.
An Error occurred while saving Work Area Options for project: 'project~1.0_20060301'.

Does anybody have a solution, hint, workaround

Are you talking about v6.4?  By "relative subproject" do you mean a static baseline project?

If so then there probably isn't a good solution.  A static project is "one instance".  So if that project is shared by multiple grouping projects then there can be only one workarea.  FYI only build_mgr or higher can set the work area properties of static projects.

If not - if you're using working copies (or prep) copies of the subprojects - then you should be able to create a version-unique copy for each grouping project.

Steven,

Yes we recently started to use Synergy/CM 6.4
Before that we used v6.3 and there the mechanism worked (most of the time).
To make it work I had to do the following in the buildmgr project is to get a 'copy' of the static subproject:
1. Use the wanted version of the sub-project in the prep project
2. disable 'maintain a workarea' in the workarea properties dialog of the sub-project and accept with OK
3. enable 'maintain a workarea' and set it to 'relative' for the sub-project and accept with OK
4. create a task with the release of the prep-project and associate the wanted sub-project with it
5. check in this task and add it to the reconfigure properties / project grouping for all developers.

Just before we upgraded to version 6.4 and were still using 6.3 I already noticed that the mechanism did not work and I started to get the 'ambiguous' warning. At that time as a workaround I had to create a new (dummy) project from the version of the subproject that I needed.
It this is really the only way to make it work then I have to use it. I was just wondering if there is a simpler way.
