Symbolic link between folders
Hi:
We are testing of RTC to migrate our software development system based on base Clearcase but we do not know like solving a characteristic that we have implemented in CC.
We have symbolic links between folders of different VOBs to share code that can be modified or dubugged in both.
What is the best form to implement this situation in RTC 3?
VOB_A
- Folder_1
- Folder_2
- Folder_3
VOB_B
-Folder_A
-Folder_B --->>> symbolic link to VOB_A->Folder_2
-Folder_C
Thanks in advance

One answer
First a warning:
RTC-3.0.1 fully supports loading symbolic links only into sandboxes on
Unix systems. Support for loading symbolic links on Windows file
systems that have native support for symbolic links (Vista, Windows7) is
being planned for the next RTC release. RTC does not simulate symbolic
links the way ClearCase does on Windows file systems that do not support
symbolic links
With that said, I believe the main thing you'll want to do is to use the
advanced load options in RTC that loads in the parent folders above the
projects. Also, in your Builds, you'll want to select the build option
that creates a folder for your component root directory.
Cheers,
