Error description
CUSTOMER ENVIRONMENT: Tool --? Rational Synergy 7.1.0.1.02 Server OS --? Solaris 10 Client OS --? Windows XP RDS --? RDS 5.1, Stand Alone Mode, Tivoli based. Mode --? Web-mode Only CUSTOMER ISSUE: Can't specify a root directory of a Windows drive as a work area path PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When specifying the root directory of a Windows hard drive as the work area path during Copy Project, the copy fails with the following errors: *********** --- Begin Error Reporting --- Copy project canceled. Invalid work area path - must be absolute 'C:' Deleting new projects.... Copy Project cancelled. Copy Project failed: Work Area Path is not writable 'C:'. Derive failed for project ProjectA~TEMP_1.6I_20100416: project:US1#1' Copy Project complete. Update complete. Closing reconfigure transaction... --- End Error Reporting --- *********** What it also does is, it drops the '\' off, and leaves just C:. This happens for any root-level drive you may have (C:\, D:\, etc). In order to get this to work, you must supply at least one character after the \, i.e. C:\a will work. Existing projects which have C:\ as their work area path can be synced and updated without issue. You just can't copy any new projects to C:\.
