Supplied databases (pack files)

These databases are provided with the installation program. They are installed in the CCM_HOME\packfiles directory. This topic describes the Rational® Synergy databases so that you can decide when to use them.
Note: You must check and back up your database at least once daily to avoid data loss if a system failure occurs.
CAUTION:
If your database is corrupted, you must have a backup of the database or you could lose your data.

Base database

The base model pack file, base.cpk, works with the default development model. The base.cpk pack file is empty. It contains no data, but it has been loaded with the base model. To create a database, unpack base.cpk to the new database.

Training database

The training database, called training.cpk, is populated with projects, subprojects, tasks, and change requests. This database is intended to help users learn how to use Rational Synergy.

Model database

The model database file, base.model, is used for upgrades. The model.cpk file is no longer used for upgrades and is no longer shipped. For more information about this database, see the upgrade instructions in the Installing and upgrading section of the Rational Synergy Information center.
