This command must be run as user ccm_root because it must be able to write to your Rational Synergy 7.2 or later installation directory.
When you run the following command, 6.5 tools are copied directly from the old Rational Synergy installation directory to the new one:
ccm_copy_tools old_install_dir new_install_dir
You see an error in the following cases:
The old_install_directory might reference an existing Rational Synergy version directory that was previously updated with 6.5 tools. So, it is possible to copy tools from one 7.2 or later installation to another, or from a previous installation to a 7.2 or later installation.
ccm_copy_tools -o output_file old_install_dir
This form of the command copies 6.5 tools from an existing Rational Synergy 7.0, 7.1, or 7.1a installation to a saved file for later installation elsewhere. This information is useful when the previous and new Rational Synergy installations are not visible to each other. The direct copying performed in the previous form of the command cannot be used.
ccm_copy_tools -i input_file new_install_dir
This form of the command copies 6.5 tools from a saved file into an existing Rational Synergy 7.0, 7.1, or 7.1a installation. The saved file must have been produced by an earlier use of the ccm_copy_tools -o command. You see an error if the new installation directory is not from Rational Synergy 7.0, 7.1, or 7.1a.
The default is to copy files needed for all purposes. In all modes, you can also use the following options:
Option | Description |
---|---|
-a | Copy the tools used for archiving. |
-m | Copy the files used for ObjectMake. |
-d | Copy the tools used for diff and merge. |
-v | Show the path to each file as it is copied. |
