I'm considering changing the database pathname of one of our databases for consistency with all the others. So, for example, it would change from /ccm/oldname to /ccm/newname.
Apart from the obvious "use a different name at Synergy startup" action, does anyone have experience of this and all the issues you have to deal with? I'm particularly concerned about the symlinks in work areas to the old location which would have to be updated. It's a very large database with thousands of working projects. I can't find anything on the Support website but to be fair I haven't searched through the product documentation yet. Any advice gratefully received. |

Not sure if this is any help John but we had to move all our Unix databases to new servers (& different paths) earlier this year & found the ccm wa -dbpath command a great help. However, virtually all our workareas were on Windows clients so I don't know if or how it copes with symlinks. But it did save a lot of grief in not having to have developers reconcile then destroy & rebuild their workareas.

Thanks Russ. I happened on this command today. I'm assuming that it traverses the whole of a Unix link-based project repointing the links, but I don't know how speedy it is at doing that. If we're going to do it - and it isn't actually essential, it just makes things cleaner - then I don't want to cause unnecessary grief or downtime.
