The project-specific directory tells Rational® Synergy to add the name of the
project to the end of the base directory. The base directory is the
default path for all work areas, which is %home\ccm_wa\%database on Windows and %home/ccm_wa/%database on UNIX.
About this task
The default setting ensures that work area
paths are unique. If you change the default path, ensure that the
work area paths are unique; that is, two work areas cannot have the
same path. For example, you have a project named toolkit for
both release 2.1 and 3.0. If you do not have a project-specific work
area path set, both projects default to the same path.
Procedure
- Start the Options dialog
box by clicking Tools in the main menu and
choosing Options.
- Click the Actions tab,
then click Copy Project in the left pane.
- Modify the project-specific directory template.
- Indicate whether you want a project-specific
directory to be used as part of your work area path.
If you cancel the setting, the
project-specific directory name no longer displays in the Example
path using above settings box.
- Change the keywords used to further describe
your project-specific directory.
You
can use keywords to describe the format of the path. When you check
out a project or change its work area path, the values appropriate
to the project replace the keywords. For example, a directory template
containing the keyword
%release is
replaced with the release value for the project (for
example, 2.0).
The directory
template can contain multiple keywords, and can map to a directory
tree (that is, a directory with subdirectories), rather than just
a directory name.

Defaults.
