Starting Rational Synergy in copy-based mode

This option applies to UNIX users only. You have the option of starting Rational Synergy in copy-based mode by default. When a work area is copy-based, Rational Synergy places copies of projects in your file system. (This is different from a link-based work area where Rational Synergy places in your file system links to the files in the database.)

About this task

Setting a value of false for the user.allow.link.based.workareas key indicates that you want to start Rational Synergy in copy-based mode. This causes work areas to be copy based by default. Type the setting in the following form in your $HOME/.ccm.user.properties file:

user.allow.link.based.workareas=false

Setting this value to anything other than false will cause Rational Synergy to start in link-based mode. Note that the value is case-insensitive.
