To maintain unique work area paths, by default, Rational Synergy uses a project subdirectory template as follows:
%project_name%optional_project_instance%delimiter%project_version
The %optional_project_instance keyword is expanded to an empty string for local projects using an instance value of dbid#1. For non-local projects or the second or further instances of local projects, it expands to the DCM delimiter and the instance value.
In the table, in database A, projects might have these expanded subdirectory templates that are used in the final work area path for the projects.
Project object name | Expanded subdirectory template |
---|---|
local-1:project:A#1 | local-1 |
local-1:project:A#2 | local#A#2-1 |
nonlocal-1:project:B#1 | nonlocal#B#1-1 |
nonlocal-1:project:C#1 | nonlocal#C#1-1 |
Changing a DCM database ID or changing the DCM delimiter can affect existing work area paths.
