Set up the work area path template to create
the build management project work areas. Create the work areas in
a shared location so that other build managers can access them.
The work area path defaults to C:\Documents
and Settings\username\My Documents\Synergy\ccm_wa (Windows users) or home/ccm_wa (UNIX users), where home is
your home directory.
Procedure
- In the Work pane, click
the Work Area tab.
- Click Change Default Path.
The Options dialog box
opens.
- Set the Base directory field
to the shared location where you want to place the build management
projects. Both Windows and UNIX users can keep the +Database
name check box set. The database name is appended to the
base directory. You can reset the work area paths for
existing build management projects to the shared location.
Example
You can divide your work area into release-specific or platform-specific
work areas. This is useful to build managers who want to organize
many projects into their own custom structure.
For
example, you have a toolkit project in each
of two platforms that you build: vista and winxp.
By setting a work area template to
N:\network_disk\Synergy\shared\ccm_wa\%release\%platform (Windows users) or home/ccm_wa/%release/%platform (UNIX users), you would see the following
work areas:
Windows users:
\user\local\shared\ccm_wa\shared\2.8\vista\toolkit
\user\local\shared\ccm_wa\shared\2.5\winxp\toolkit
UNIX users:
/user/local/shared/ccm_wa/2.8/solaris/toolkit
/user/local/shared/ccm_wa/2.5/linux/toolkit
