Default settings

Rational® Synergy is shipped with a set of pre-defined values or default settings. Default settings are defined as the settings that a majority of users would choose. However, you can modify these settings to better meet your needs. The information presented in this section defines the settings, describes how to change them, and explains any interaction between the settings.

Types of settings

The type of setting determines its scope and persistence. For example, some settings apply to all users of a Rational Synergy installation area, some to all users of a database, and some to a specific user of a database. Different types of settings require different methods to see or change their value.
  • Server installation setting

    A server installation setting applies to all users and databases served by the server installation path in which that setting is stored. The setting is stored in a configuration file under the CCM_HOME Rational Synergy server installation path. The configuration file used is described for each setting.

    To modify a server installation setting, you must modify the setting in its configuration file. Then, you must stop and restart the Rational Synergy server or servers using that installation area for the change to become effective. The setting remains in effect until it is changed to a new value

  • Client installation setting

    Client installation settings apply to all users and databases served by the client installation path in which that setting is stored. The setting is stored in a configuration file under the CCM_HOME Rational Synergy client installation path. The configuration file used is described for each setting.

    To modify a client installation setting, you must modify the setting in its configuration file. Then, you must stop and restart your client sessions using that installation area in order for the change to become effective. The setting remains in effect until it is changed to a new value
