Hi Ben,
There are two things you might consider. The first is simply to perform a copy project to a new prep version and ensure that the work area location used has the required file permissions on the directory.
If you don't want to do that, there is a second option, but that requires a slight model customization. By default, the base model only defines the transitions listed below from [i]prep[/i] state:
[code]
transition prep1 = prep -> integrate;
transition prep2 = prep -> test;
transition prep3 = prep -> sqa;
transition prep4 = prep -> released;
[/code]
The platform code forbids any transitions from a static state to a non-static state. However, since both [i]prep[/i] and [i]shared[/i] are both non-static states, this platform restriction does not forbid adding such a transition.
If you want to add a transition, first ensure that you have a usable backup of the database just in case anything goes wrong. Then perform the following:
1) Start a CLI session as a user that has access to the [i]ccm_admin[/i] role.
2) Change your role to [i]ccm_admin[/i].
3) ccm query -t model -n base
4) ccm attr -m access @1
In the editor, find the transitions from prep and add the extra transition so you end up with:
[code]
transition prep1 = prep -> integrate;
transition prep2 = prep -> test;
transition prep3 = prep -> sqa;
transition prep4 = prep -> released;
transition prep5 = prep -> shared;
[/code]
Stop and restart your CLI session (many model attributes are cached on startup so changes do not become effective until a new session is started), and then transition the project to shared.
You may want to reverse the steps that added the transition since, in general, it's not a usual transition to have. There is a danger that a prep project could have members in prep state, and transitioning that project to shared would leave it with contents that are normally inconsistent with such a project.
BTW, as a reminder, Synergy 6.4 has been deprecated and out of support under standard maintenance for some years. Currently supported releases are Synergy 7.1 and 7.2.
Regards,
David.
