Hello All,
There have been a number of question on this topic over the last couple of years but I do not seem to have seen a definitive answer yet. Perhaps RTC 4.0 has the new features we need? We have an RTC configuration which requires some mechanism for offline access to the workitems during meetings where there is no network access, for physical or security reasons. Is there any way that the database can be replicated and synchronized at a later date? Is it possible to install on a external drive and then use on standalone laptop to support temporary access? Thanks in advance Mark |

With the RTC Eclipse client, you can:
* Open all the work items that you might want to edit while offline. * Make changes to those work items while offline, but not save the changes. * Save the changes once you are back online. This is not a great solution, since it is not possible to look at any new work items while offline. You need to correctly guess in advance which work items you will want to look at. And it requires the Eclipse client, which not all users normally use. I don't think you can do something similar with the Web UI.
