Error description
When a Rational Synergy database is backed up and restored to a new path on the same network, projects in the restored database will have the same work area path as they have in the original database. Attempts to disable work area maintenance in the restored database will result in the original work area being removed from the filesystem. This operation should warn the user that the current work area path is associated with a different database path and not remove it. It should also advise the user that the work area can be removed manually if desired.
Local fix
To workaround this issue: 1. Start a CLI session on the restored database. 2. Query for the project(s) in question. 3. Delete the work area path attribute on the project(s). Doing this will prevent any further operations from acting on the original WA path. ccm attr -delete wa_path project_spec... 4. Turn work area maintenance OFF for the same project(s) by modifying the maintain_wa attribute ccm attr -m maintain_wa -v FALSE project_spec...
