Synergy Offline Mode

While in offline mode, all connections to Synergy repositories will be stopped and all Synergy functions will be disabled. This allows you to continue to work on projects even if the integration is unable to connect to a repository.

Once you are in offline mode, the following message will appear in the Task View, Change Request View, and Repository View:

You may return to working online by unchecking the Work Offline Mode box in the Synergy Preferences dialog box. Upon coming back online, the integration will attempt to connect to each repository connection. If the integration detects that a project has been modified while working offline, a dialog will appear with a list of all projects that may now be out of sync with the Synergy repository.

You may use this dialog box to individually select projects to synchronize with the Synergy repository.

Notes:

-          Refactor operations involving renaming or moving an object are blocked while in offline mode. This is done to prevent irreconcilable conflicts with the Synergy database.

-          You may have to manually refresh the status of the projects in the Eclipse Navigator or Package Explorer views after performing a sync operation in this fashion. To do so, use the Team context-menu’s Refresh Status option, which is described in the following section.
