Those features applies to static projects.

-   Copy a snapshot of a project
-   Copy a snapshot of all projects in a baseline

 

-   Copy a snapshot of added or changed files between two projects

# Requirements

This plugin is using the CLI interface. It has been developed and tested
with Synergy 6.5

# Using multiple nodes

It is possible to build a project on multiple nodes, by creating a copy
of the project for each node. The name of the node must be in the
Synergy project name, and a dynamic project name must be set in the
Synergy plugin.

For example, if the project names match a pattern like "project-NODE"
(where "NODE" is the name of the node), the name of the project in the
Synergy plugin must be "project-${COMPUTERNAME}".

# Configuration

The location of the ccm executable must be set in the system
configuration page.  
Depending on the server, a location for the ccm ui and ccm eng log may
also need to be set.

# Changelog

the project and not only the release.  
Fix starting when a warning is returned by Synergy at login.  
Only auto-configure the workarea if configured to do so.  
Allow to update a project grouping.  
Improve changelog computation speed.  
Fix use of dynamic project name, allowing to build on multiple nodes.  
Don't required the build manager role if not needed.  
Fix subproject path in change log.  
Improve error detection.

Bug fixes  
Baseline "Release" and "Purposes" will be based on the project's if the
fields are left blank
([JENKINS-8613](https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-8613))

### 1.5

Add option to reuse a session.  
Add option to keep or update subprojects when updating a project.

Add "copy folder" post build function.  
Add "pathname" start parameter.  
Fix location of subproject.  
Fix detection of "No task" conflict.  
Fix checkout of baselined project because the changelog is not computed.

### 1.4

Fix conflict detection.

### 1.3

Fix baseline creation.

cases)

### 1.2

Support change pooling.  
Support the "-rc" start flag.  
Improve the computation of the modified file paths in the changelog for
subprojects (still needs some work).  
Allow to use the baseline objectname as the baseline name.

### 1.1

Fix end of line handling on UNIX server, which was causing a failure in
the detection of the project state.  
Don't assume the database version delimiter is '\~'
