Preferences: i Projects

Purpose

Specifies the options for the i Projects perspective for working with source files.
Option Description Default
Remove sequence number and date fields on download Specifies whether or not to remove the 12-byte sequence number and date fields from every record of a member when it is transferred from a source physical file into a project. This is useful when you are storing your projects in a repository, such as that provided by ClearCase®, and using remote source files only to compile and build your projects. The sequence number and date fields are always regenerated when the member is transferred back to a remote source file. If you have requested sequence number warnings to be generated, changing this option and clicking OK or Apply causes all members of i Projects in the workspace to be checked to see if they comply with this setting. Do not remove sequence numbers and date fields.
Generate sequence number warnings Specifies if local members are scanned for sequence numbers that would be in conflict with the Remove sequence number and date fields on download setting. A warning is generated in the Problems View for each line that appears to be in conflict with the setting. If you choose to generate these warnings you can also specify a limit for the number of warnings. Do not generate any warnings.
Limit sequence number warnings If you are generating sequence number warnings, then each time a local member is modified it is checked to see if it has any lines that appear to have sequence numbers. Those lines that conflict with the Remove sequence number and date fields on download setting are flagged with warnings. This can generate a large number of warning messages. Do not limit sequence number warnings, because sequence numbers are not generated.
Maximum warnings per member If you limit the warnings for each local member you can set the maximum here. The allowable range is from 0 to 999999. Setting this limit too high can generate many duplicate warnings and can result in poor performance. 10 warnings per member.
Enable sequence number actions Specifies whether or not the i Project Navigator should enable the actions to add and remove sequence number and date fields from local members stored in the workspace. These actions are useful when you are storing your projects in a repository. Disable the actions.
