RTC case sensitivity

0
Luca Martinucci (1.0k●3●97●112) | asked Feb 06 '14, 8:15 a.m.
How does RTC handle case in file names?
Is it case-insensitive like Windows or instead case-sensitive?
Suppose this test case:
  • a file named file.txt is versioned in RTC;
  • a user renames it File.txt, checks-in the change and delivers it to the first available stream;
  • another user accepts the incoming change set containing the name change;
In this scenario is file.txt remaned as File.txt in the (Windows) filesystem of the second user?
Or does Windows instead does nothing, as it is unable to distinguish the two names?
I am using RTC in versions 4.0.0.1 and 4.0.5.

Hi Luca,

The files are updating from the sandbox that's nothing but a Windows Filesystem ( Eclipse workspace path when you loaded the component).

Its a call from Window OS, since the artifacts which creates in RTC will be having its own unique ids (you can create with the same names like eg: stream\component).

Eg: files can't create with the same name on the windows server with case-sensitve.


Behavior is same both in 4.0.0.1 and 4.0.5

Regards,
Arun

I performed the test myself and found the answer.
Actually, RTC handles case-sensitive file names.
Name changes that just change the case are correctly propagated across workspaces and streams.
