If you build from the Rational Synergy CLI, set up your environment so that you can see parallel notifications in your log file. This helps you to determine whether parallel versions from developers are being merged at check in, and alerts you to any possible configuration problems. Regardless of whether you build from the GUI or the CLI, use the Detect Membership Conflicts operation to detect parallel conflicts (as well as other conflicts).
In the [Options] section of your Rational Synergy Classic initialization file, set the following reconfigure_parallel_check option, then restart your session:
reconfigure_parallel_check = TRUE
When you set reconfigure_parallel_check, if a given set of update candidates have equal scoring and are parallel, you will receive a warning message in your ccm_ui.log similar to the following:
Warning: Parallel versions selected by selection rules, latest create time will be used:
save.c-3
save.c-2.1.1
Set up a directory to be used for the build management work area. The directory should be on a shared drive or NFS-mounted partition where all users can access it.
Windows build managers: Be sure that all build managers have full control of the shared drive and mount the drive using the same drive letter.
