distinguish two components with same name on the server
Hello,
Here is my problem :
Admin for project area A created component "Comp1".
Admin for project area B created component "Comp1".
When creating a stream in project area A, we add components. We can choose "Comp1". However, how can we distinguish the two "Comp1" except looking at the author and the creation date ??
Shouldn't RTC forbide the creation a component whose name already exist ?
If we make a comparison with Clearcase / UCM, in UCM, it is impossible to create two UCM components with identical names within the same project VOB.
Thanks for your help

There is an Advanced Property that you can set from the server admin web pages named "Encourage component names to be unique. " that, when set to true, will discourage the creation of multiple components with the same name. I believe this was added in 3.0 but it may have been added to 2.0.0.2 as well
Hello,The components have unique IDs that are used to distinguish between two components with the same name. However, they are not meant to be human readable. Looking at the owner, the baselines, or which streams include it in its configuration will help determine which component it is. It would be best to use different names though.

If you want to enforce unique component names, you can turn it on in the server settings. It's in the admin web UI under advanced properties.
