Baselined projects

Those features applies to static projects.

  • Copy a snapshot of a project
  • Copy a snapshot of all projects in a baseline

 

  • Copy a snapshot of added or changed files between two projects
  • Copy a snapshot of added ot changed files between two baselines
  • Create a changelog

Requirements

This plugin is using the CLI interface. It has been developed and tested with Synergy 6.5

Using multiple nodes

It is possible to build a project on multiple nodes, by creating a copy of the project for each node. The name of the node must be in the Synergy project name, and a dynamic project name must be set in the Synergy plugin.

For example, if the project names match a pattern like "project-NODE" (where "NODE" is the name of the node), the name of the project in the Synergy plugin must be "project-${COMPUTERNAME}".

Configuration

The location of the ccm executable must be set in the system configuration page.
Depending on the server, a location for the ccm ui and ccm eng log may also need to be set.
