Set Option: System or personal ini file
When you use some editors or you perform scripted check-outs and check-ins, the timestamps on the database and work area versions of a file can appear to be identical. When set to TRUE, the update_on_checkin_if_equal option forces Rational Synergy to copy such files from the work area to the database, even though their timestamps indicate that they are not newer than their database versions.
