Work area locations

Each project version has a single work area location. You can change this location, but the work area always is maintained in a single location.
  • To synchronize the same project to multiple locations, you must check out separate versions of the project for each work area.
  • To make this work area available to multiple users, synchronize the project to a location available to all users.

If you check out separate versions of a project, you can see all of them when you enter a command that lists your work area files.

For WindowsThe following output shows a Windows work area:
	Directory of C:\ccm_wa\ccmdb219
.             DIR     02/01/11  3:04p .
..            DIR     02/01/11  3:04p ..
demo-1        DIR     02/01/11 3:04p demo-1
demo-2        DIR     02/07/11 11:23p demo-2
demo-3        DIR     02/21/11  9:15a demo-3
For UNIXThe following output shows a UNIX work area:
drwxr-xr-x   4 joe      develop       2048 Aug 31 14:37 ./
drwxr-xr-x   3 joe      develop        512 Aug 31 14:37 ../
-r--r--r--   1 joe      develop         63 Aug 31 14:37 .ccmwaid.inf
drwxr-xr-x   2 joe      develop       2560 Aug 31 14:37 demo-1/
drwxr-xr-x   2 joe      develop       1024 Aug 31 14:37 demo-2/
drwxr-xr-x   2 joe      develop        512 Aug 31 14:37 demo-3/

To go to the correct project, you must change directories to the appropriate project and version (project-version). The output examples show three versions of the demo project: demo-1, demo-2, and demo-3.

One consequence of a single-location work area is that if a project is synchronized to a local Windows file system, UNIX sessions cannot see this work area, and vice versa. Use different versions of the project for different platforms.
