· Telelogic Synergy 7.0
· Telelogic Change 5.1
Make sure that you have done the following before installing Telelogic Synergy for Microsoft Visual Studio Interface 4.1:
· Download Telelogic Synergy for Microsoft Visual Studio Interface 4.1 from the Telelogic Synergy Integrations web site (http://support.telelogic.com/en/synergy/download).
· The Integration is available in the form of a zip file VS2008int_41.ZIP.
·
Unzip the zip file to a temporary
directory. Navigate to setup.exe and run the setup. The setup wizard will guide you through the
installation steps.
This section contains important steps that must be followed when using the Integration. This information can also be found in the Telelogic Synergy for Microsoft Visual Studio Interface 4.1 help document.
· If you create a Solution project that has the same name as the Solution, your Telelogic Synergy database must be set to support multiple project instances. To do this, start a Telelogic Synergy session by using the Telelogic Synergy Classic Client, make sure that ccm is in your path, and type the following commands in the Command Prompt: 1.) ccm set role ccm_admin 2.) ccm query –t model –n base 3.) ccm attr –m multiple_local_proj_instances –v TRUE @1
· Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 IDE may prompt users to: Save As, Discard, Ignore, or Overwrite, after a Solution/Project has been migrated. Telelogic recommends that your respond to the prompt by selecting – Overwrite.
· Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 IDE may prompt users to Reload projects when project files are checked out. Telelogic recommends that you respond to the prompt by selecting – Reload.
· The integration displays a Delete files prompt dialog box twice when performing the Exclude From Project or Delete operations on folders/directories that are controlled by Telelogic Synergy. The integration will prompt the user once for the folder/directory and once for the files located inside the folder/directory.
· If you have more than one instance of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 running, all of the instances will share the same Telelogic Synergy sessions and session data. The possible problems that may occur are: 1.) Changing the current task for a Telelogic Synergy session in one instance of Visual Studio will overwrite the current task for that same Telelogic Synergy session in another instance of Visual Studio. 2.) If you migrate projects in one instance of Visual Studio, your migrated projects will be lost if other projects are migrated to Telelogic Synergy using another instance of Visual Studio. The projects that are overwritten will belong to the instance of Visual Studio that exits the IDE first. 3.) If you modify the integration settings in one instance of Visual Studio, your changes will be overwritten if the integration settings are modified in another instance of Visual Studio. The integration settings that are overwritten will belong to the instance of Visual Studio that exits the IDE first.
· The integration will not migrate Solutions and Projects with the same name properly if the Visual Studio Solutions and Projects are created in the same location as your work area template.
· When performing a Copy Project operation, your work area template must include project specific information that includes the project version and project instance.
· The integration will not allow the Undo Checkout operation to be performed on files that have been checked out as a result of a Rename operation. A warning message box will appear whenever an Undo Checkout operation is attempted on such files. For more information on how you can perform the Undo Checkout operation on these types of files, read the Telelogic Synergy for Microsoft Visual Studio Interface Help, section Daily Development > How to Undo Check Out.
· When performing any of the Telelogic Synergy team or taskbar operations by using a connection without a saved password, a Login dialog box will appear. If you choose to Cancel the dialog box, the Login dialog box will not appear again; however, the integration may not be able to perform any operation properly. You may invoke the Login dialog box again by selecting the Start Session menu option in the Telelogic Synergy Settings dialog box or restarting the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 IDE.
· If you want to modify the work area location of your Solution, you must perform the following steps: 1.) Exit the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE 2.) Modify the work area location of your Solution by using Telelogic Synergy. 3.) Open the Solution from the new work area location and then proceed adding/migrating new Projects to your Solution.
· If you Stop one Telelogic Synergy connection by using the integration and you have multiple Telelogic Synergy connections running, all of your Telelogic Synergy connections will be stopped. The integration may still display a Connected status for some Telelogic Synergy connections even-though those Telelogic Synergy connections have been stopped. Telelogic recommends that you Stop all Telelogic Synergy connections by exiting the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE, then restarting the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE and restarting the Telelogic Synergy connections that you want started.
· If you add new files/folders to your Web Projects, the Add Uncontrolled Files operation when performed at the Project level may not add the new files/folders to Telelogic Synergy properly. When adding new files/folders to your Web Projects, Telelogic recommends that you perform the Add Uncontrolled Files operation on the new files/folders and not at the Project level.
· ASP.Net Web Application projects whose location in the file system is inside the directory of another Project or Solution directory can only be migrated to Telelogic Synergy as a Directory when using the integration.
· If you use the Open Project option from the Telelogic Synergy Taskbar or Menu to open a Solution/Project, the Disconnect operation when performed at the Solution level may not disconnect the Projects under the Solution. When this occurs, you may have to perform the Disconnect operation on the Projects separately.
· The Open Visual Studio .NET 2003 Projects section in the Online help is currently not up-to-date.
· If the option Show Miscellaneous Files in Solution Explorer is enabled in Tools > Options > Environment > Documents, the files that are located inside the Miscellaneous Files folder will not be migrated to Telelogic Synergy when the Solution or Project is migrated. Also, you will not be able to migrate the Miscellaneous Files folder and all its files to Telelogic Synergy separately. For more information on how you can control the files contained in the Miscellaneous Files folder, read the Telelogic Synergy for Microsoft Visual Studio Interface Help.
· In order to use the integration properly, the <Telelogic Synergy for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Interface Install Directory> directory must be included in your PATH.
· The Work Offline section in the Help documentation inaccurately states that “Projects are restricted from being moved”. Projects are allowed to be moved while offline in one special case: Projects may only be moved to a Solution Folder/Directory because a Solution Folder/Directory is not created in the file system, which essentially does not change the location of the Project and will not affect the Integration.
· The Integration may produce an error when sessions are started immediately after the sessions have been stopped. To avoid this situation, if you are starting sessions or returning online from offline mode, wait a few moments to make sure all sessions have been stopped before re-starting them again.

· The dialog box for the Check Out Recursive operation only displays controlled files/folders that are in integrated state.
· The dialog box for the Undo Checkout Recursive and Check In Recursive operation only displays controlled files/folders that are in working state.
· The dialog box for the Add Uncontrolled Files operation only displays uncontrolled files/folders.
· The dialog box for the Remove From Telelogic Synergy operation only displays controlled files/folders.
· If there is more than one instance of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 running, each instance will have its own set of messages displayed in the output view of its respective IDE.
· The Telelogic Synergy Complete Task dialog box will now display the task description for the selected task in the Description field. Users may add additional information or change the current information displayed before completing the task.
· The Check Out, Check Out Recursive, Undo Checkout, Undo Checkout Recursive, Check In, and Check In Recursive operations require that the Connection being used has a default task set; otherwise, the selected operation will fail.
