Creating a project
You can create a project for development,
testing, or any other purpose to suit your needs. Alternatively, you
can copy a project to create a project or a subproject.
Copying a project
Copying a project is a quick way to create a project using
the previous information as a guide. To view the contents of a project
without changing files, copy a project to the file system.
Creating a project member
A project member can be a file, a directory, or a subproject
that you create and add to a project. Rational® Synergy associates the new member
with the current task.
Copying a project to the file system
You can create a copy of the files for a project in the
file system to look at a project. The project is only a copy and is
independent from any other work area. You cannot maintain or sync
it after it is copied to the file system.
Modifying a project-specific directory template
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.
Setting the default work area path
The work area is a location in the file system that contains your copies of projects. You can change the default work area path. For example, if you work in more than one database, include the database name in the default work area path to sort work areas by database.
