Projects created in different databases might use the same project name and version. Each project must use a different work area path if it is to be successfully maintained by Rational® Synergy. For this reason, 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.
Changing a DCM database ID or changing the DCM delimiter can therefore have an impact on existing work area paths.
