Keywords embedded in source files

Use keywords to automatically embed an IBM® Rational® Synergy attribute or a string into a file.

Keywords are placed into the source file template of a particular object type and are expanded when you check out an object or when you create an object version. Keywords can also be expanded when an object is checked in. However, keywords are not expanded when objects are migrated into Rational Synergy.

You can use two different keyword forms in the source of an object:

For information about changing the default settings, see range_for_keyword_expand.

You can also enable the keyword replacement when objects are checked in. To do so, create an attribute on the ascii cvtype:

ccm set role ccm_admin
ccm query -n ascii -t cvtype
ccm attr -c expand_on_checkin -t boolean -v TRUE @1
