The base model pack file, base.cpk, works with the default development model. The base.cpk pack file is empty. It contains no data, but it has been loaded with the base model. To create a database, unpack base.cpk to the new database.
The training database, called training.cpk, is populated with projects, subprojects, tasks, and change requests. This database is intended to help users learn how to use Rational Synergy.
The model database file, base.model, is used for upgrades. The model.cpk file is no longer used for upgrades and is no longer shipped. For more information about this database, see the upgrade instructions in the Installing and upgrading section of the Rational Synergy Information center.
