Answer This question was answered by Hugh Madelin, on Friday, January 23, 2004 12:55 PM

Answer:
I did a very brief evaluation of Araxis Merge on 6.2 and Windows 2000, but we've also gone with using the merge tool from the developer client in the original client.

The ccm.ini entries which worked for me were:

compare_cmd = C:\Program Files\Araxis\Araxis Merge 2001 v6.0 Evaluation\compare.exe /2 %file1 %file2 %outfile
proj_compare_cmd = C:\Program Files\Araxis\Araxis Merge 2001 v6.0 Evaluation\compare.exe /2 %file1 %file2 %outfile
dir_compare_cmd = C:\Program Files\Araxis\Araxis Merge 2001 v6.0 Evaluation\compare.exe /2 %file1 %file2 %outfile
symlink_compare_cmd = C:\Program Files\Araxis\Araxis Merge 2001 v6.0 Evaluation\compare.exe /2 %file1 %file2 %outfile
merge_cmd = C:\Program Files\Araxis\Araxis Merge 2001 v6.0 Evaluation\compare /wait /3 /a3 /title1:"%file1_label" /title2:"%file2_label" %file1 %file2 %ancestor %outfile

Running CMSynergy 6.2 on XP and tried applying the changes described in the following link

http://www.araxis.com/merge/topic_continuus_integration.html

to allow me to run an alternate code merge tool from Synergy, but with no luck, perhaps something has changed between versions (although the file formats look identical/similar) . . . anybody else managed to get this working ?

Cheers

I can't offer much help, but we did consider using Araxis Merge with 6.2 on NT & 2000 but decided against it once we found out how to plug SiberMerge (which is bundled in the developer GUI) into the classic GUI - which was non-obvious but quite successful.

Thanks gents, looks very similar to what I've tried, I'm thinking there may be some environmental issue that's causing things not to work, time to try some alternatives.

Ok,

instructions provided by Hugh (and basically as per the Araxis link I posted) are correct, however, on XP although $(WINDIR)\ccm.ini exists it appears unused, edit your ....\Documents And Settings\YourUserName\ccm.ini file insead . . . only edit it when Synergy is NOT running otherwise it gets overwritten when you exit Synergy . . .

Cheers

I did consider pointing that out but thought it was a bit too obvious.

The Araxis website instructions advise updating the ccm.ini file in C:\WINNT - which was fine for ye olde Continuus/CM 4.5 clients. However, with the advent of Synergy 6.x (or was it 5.x?) the default location for this file on Windows clients is %userprofile%.

;-) . . . when the file also exists in the original location there is opportunity for confusion . . . anyways . . . up and running now . . .
