After the session starts, the Rational Synergy address (CCM_ADDR), displays. This unique identifier for the CLI session displays in your command window (Windows) or in the shell where you started the session (UNIX).
If you run multiple Rational Synergy sessions, set the CCM_ADDR environment variable to specify which session to run your Rational Synergy commands. If you do not set CCM_ADDR, a default address is used. This default address is read from a .ccm_hostname_7.2_addr file. hostname is the name of the client machine. This file is generated if you start a CLI session without the -m (multiple sessions) option.
Some operations, such as initializing DCM and renaming a release, require the user performing the operation to have exclusive access to the database. Gain exclusive access by starting a CLI session with the -single|-single_user reason option. This option starts a session and sets the database to single user admin mode. You must be in the ccm_admin role to use single user admin mode.
After you start a session in single user admin mode, other users cannot start new client sessions or perform operations in the database using existing clients until the single user admin mode session is stopped with a ccm stop command.
If you have a session in single user admin mode, you can start other clients with the same user name. However, only one back-end session is available to process requests. If several clients all request operations requiring server processing, the requests are executed serially, one at a time.
Before you reset single user admin mode, check with the original user who was granted that mode. Determine if they are finished using the mode. Reset single user admin mode only if the operations have completed.
The start command supports the following subcommands:
