PARENT(4)

NAME
parent - Path name of a workspace's parent

SYNOPSIS
Codemgr_wsdata/parent

DESCRIPTION
The file ws/Codemgr_wsdata/parent (where ws is the name of a workspace) is a text file that contains the path name of ws's parent workspace.

The parent file is created by the bringover command when it creates a new child workspace, or by the workspace parent command if the workspace workspace was originally created with the workspace create command (and thus had no parent).

The following commands consult this file to obtain the name of a workspace's parent:

•   bringover

•   putback

•   workspace parent

•   workspace parent

The following files modify the contents of the parent file

•   workspace delete

•   workspace move

•   workspace parent

TeamWare was formerly known as CodeManager. TeamWare commands specify parent workspace names in one of two formats:

1)  host_name:path_name

    This format is used when the parent directory is mounted to the local file system via the mount command. This format ensures that the directory can be reached if users mount remote directories to different path names on their local host file systems.

2)  path_name

    This format is used when the parent directory is mounted via the automounter. By using the simple path name, it is assumed that users sharing workspaces use the same automounter maps and that path names from local host file systems will be consistent.
