The
IBM Rational Synergy for Eclipse interface is supported in all locales
supported by the version of Synergy that it is connected to.
·
Start Eclipse, go to Help->Install New Software.
·
Click Add button on Available Software dialog
box.
·
Click Local.
·
Browse to the location where IBM Rational
Synergy Eclipse Interface 7.2.0.3 is stored under the integration's folder in
Synergy.
·
Provide a name to it and click OK.
·
Select the check
box for label "Configuration Management".
·
Click Next.
·
Accept the
license agreement and click Finish.
·
When prompted to
restart Eclipse, click Yes.
· Synergy 7.2.1 is now supported.
·
Sometimes the connection
status is not shown properly in the Synergy Repository, Synergy Task and Change
Request Views. In such cases the views needs to be refreshed manually.
·
Synergy 7.2 does not allow for
multiple simultaneous connections to different databases or servers through the
API. The integration will allow you to
create multiple connections but will only allow you to have one connection
started at a time. The integration will
automatically connect and disconnect as needed.
If you have more than one Synergy 7.2 connection defined in Eclipse you
should start Synergy sessions before you start Eclipse for highest performance. Starting the sessions before starting Eclipse
will allow the Synergy sessions to remain running when the integration
disconnects, which will mean that they do not need to be restarted the next
time Eclipse uses the connection.
·
Team->Show in History View
does not function properly when using Eclipse 3.6 due to a problem with Eclipse
plugin compatibility. The only
workaround is to use an earlier version of Eclipse.
·
On Linux machines, the
username in the Synergy Connection information must match the name of the user
that is logged into Linux.
·
The Synergy database must be
set to preserve case. To change the database case setting, use the command ccmdb info <DBPATH> -k case -v PRESERVE. You must restart your Synergy server after running this
command.
·
In Eclipse, the File
Content preference page from the Team menu is not applicable to this
integration.
·
The IDE may freeze if any Team
operation is performed immediately after stopping the Synergy Connection. To
avoid this situation, you should wait a few moments and let the Connection stop
completely before you start it again.
·
The IDE is not refreshed to
show file/folder status when a non default task is completed from Eclipse IDE.
·
The Add Uncontrolled
Files/Sync operations do not consider ignored patterns if they contain
following characters:
| / \ : " <
·
The Add Uncontrolled
Files/Sync operations do not consider ignored patterns if they contain
following characters:
; , These characters are used by
Synergy internally while performing these operations.
·
Projects connected to Synergy
using integration versions prior to 3.2 will not be recognized by this version
of interface. You should Team export all the connected projects using previous version
of the Integration and then Team import them back after this version of the
interface is installed.
·
Importing a project from the
file system that was previously shared with Synergy under another shared
project is not supported. Doing so may prevent you from performing Synergy
operations to the imported project.
·
Task and Repository View expanded
states may be lost after upgrading to 4.0 from a previous version. Connection
information will not be lost.
·
On RHEL 5 64 bit platform, the
interface does not work with 64 bit eclipse. A workaround for this issue is to
use Eclipse 32 bit configured to use JRE bundled with Synergy.
·
In the Change Request View,
dragging and dropping of a Task onto a Change Request does not associate the
task with the change request.
·
Message "Cannot retrieve
information from database. com/telelogic/cm/jposix/PosixFile.lstat()Lcom/telelogic/cm/jposix/StatInfo;" is displayed in
Eclipse console when the interface turns online and the opened projects have
modified resources.
· The performance issue related to slowness in expansion of the "Build Management Project Groupings" tree for large number of projects has been fixed.
· The issue related to logging of unnecessary exceptions upon checkin or checkout has been fixed.
If the self-help resources have not provided a resolution to
your problem, you can contact IBM® Software Support. IBM Software Support
provides assistance in resolving product issues.
