Defining project specific ignore mapping rules in Synergy
You must use web mode to connect to Rational Synergy in order to use this feature. This feature is available only with Rational Synergy 7.1.0.5 and up or Rational Synergy 7.2.0.2 and up.
To add project specific ignore rules, follow the steps below -
a. Add the file _synergy_ignore_file_pattern.txt at the root directory of your project.
b. Rational Synergy will read this file in UTF-8 format and content of the file will be considered as ignored patterns. The syntax of ignore pattern is same as the syntax of user specific ignore pattern.
