You can change the type of a specific file or
directory. When you change a type, a version of the object is created
with the specified type. If the specified object is in the working state,
it is replaced with a new object, and the specified object is deleted
from the database.
If the object is a member of a project
and you execute the change_type command within the
project, Synergy replaces the old object with a new object. If the
parent directory is not modifiable, it is automatically checked out
for you. The project must be writable by you.
The command fails
if the object is a member of more than one project. The command also
fails if you do not execute the command within the project where the
object is a member.
About this task
ccm change_type -t|-type new_type [-task task_spec} file_spec
- file_spec
- Specifies the file or directory to be changed. See File specification for details.
- -task task_spec
- Associates an automatically checked out directory and new object
with the specified task. If the current task is set and you do not
specify a different task, the checked out directory and new object are
automatically associated with the current task.
You can set task_spec to a single
task. Setting task_spec to be a blank string means
that "no task" is not supported.
- -type new_type
- Specifies the new type for the object. You can set new_type to
a single object.
