AccuRev Online Help

Notes:
Can I type in the username suffix myself?
Yes. If your username is akp and you enter a workspace name that ends with _akp, AccuRev
doesn't change the name before creating the workspace.
Can I type in someone else's username suffix?
No, you cannot create a workspace for some other user in this way (or in any other way). If
your username is akp and you enter the workspace name thorn_dvt_john, AccuRev creates a
workspace named thorn_dvt_john_akp.
Location
You can specify any location in the client machine’s file system for the new workspace
tree. You can also create a workspace tree on a remote machine’s disk, as long as that
location is accessible on your machine. Access controls imposed by the operating system
and/or network file system may restrict where you can create a workspace. See User-
Specified Names for AccuRev Entities on page 14.
Here are some guidelines for using the Append workspace name to its location checkbox:
• If you are creating a new, empty workspace, enter the name of an existing directory (or
Browse to it) and check the checkbox.
• If you are declaring that AccuRev should consider an existing directory to be a workspace,
enter that directory's pathname and clear the checkbox.
In any case, make sure the Workspace will be created at value is correct before leaving
this wizard screen.
Notes:
• Don’t create a workspace within the AccuRev installation area — typically, C:\Program
Files\AccuRev (Windows) or /opt/accurev (UNIX/Linux).
• Don’t create a workspace within another workspace.
• Don't cross a physical file system boundary, whether local or remote. (For example: If you
create a workspace at location /opt/workspaces/derek, an error occurs if a remote file
system is mounted at /opt/workspaces/derek/src .)
