Can 2 developers share an RTC local sandbox or tracked sandbox?
![]()
We are implementing RTC for a small distributed project. There are only 2 developers for this project and they have no source control in their current environment. Right now they both make changes directly to the same dev environment. They want to continue to make their changes in this shared dev environment (using that environment as their local sandbox).
We know that they can't both use the same sandbox, because we get locking errors when both try to open simultaneously. We also tried to use the "tracking sandbox" preference to have RTC "listen" for changes in a shared external sandbox. We have successfully made the "tracking" work: when we make changes, we can see those changes in pending changes in RTC. But when we try to have 2 developers work in the same tracked sandbox, we get error messages saying that the sandboxes are locked by an unknown process. Has anyone successfully allowed more than one developer to either share a local sandbox or to make changes to the same "tracked" sandbox? If so, how did you make it work? (We are willing to do this with either the eclipse client or the VS client if we can make the sharing work.) |
