How to: Working with multiple workspaces
Hello,
I would like to work with two client installations (e.g. office and home) and wonder how to do it right. Every time I switch installation I have to reload my complete workspace to get it into sync which takes around two hours to complete... Is there a better/shorter way to do that? What do you recommend? I'm thinking about taking the whole workspace along with me every time I switch installations but too many information is tied to the workspace, e.g. user preferences, that differ for both installations. What other options are available? Kind regards, Guenther |

Hello Gnhter,
there was a similar question discussed in the forum. Could you have a look into "Repository Workspace and multiple clients" https://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=780&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=multiple+workspace I understand that you are asking about the eclipse workspace and not the repository workspace. But I think you could find an answer in the mentioned discussion how to re-organize the eclipse workspace so that a load would not take two hours. /Elisabeth |

Hello Elisabeth,
Thank your for your fast reply. After reading the mentioned post I would say that my problem starts with the <re-load any "out-of-sync"> projects because reloading takes very long. As far as I understand it reloading replaces all files not only the changed ones. If one file of a component is changed I have to replace all files of that component. Maybe I have to ask: How do I trick the client into synchronizing my workspace instead of replacing its content? Here some figures to illustrate the issue: workspace size approx. 500 MB, 2 MBit DLS approx. 200 kBytes/second raw transfer rate, but approx. 70 kBytes/second transfer according to the dialogue box while loading a component. Kind regards, Guenther |

Hello,
After some experiments I would like to share my experience: With the first attempt I copied my whole workspace from one installation to an other. This worked for me because I had two identical installations (path, user, OS, etc.) but I don't think this is the way to do it. With the second attempt I associated the new Eclipse workspace via the Kind regards, Guenther |
