Question & Answer
Question
Can you create a databank or workarea in IBM Rational Statemate using the Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) syntax "\\host\directoryname" instead of default Windows syntax "drive letter:\directoryname"?
Cause
You may prefer this UNIX-like syntax as you do not need a drive letter to assign to a shared network folder.
Answer
UNC syntax in Rational Statemate has not been tested for all components and integrations. There is no syntax check when entering a workarea or databank path. You are strongly recommend not to use UNC paths.
Known problems with UNC path workarea are:
- Saving of temporary files or snapshot files may cause error messages
- Export to IBM Rational DOORS may cause DXL (DOORS eXtension Language) server error messages
