Tips & Tricks

The accepting of changes from rtc into a workspace is rather slow (In our case 2min+ for accepting one change, allthough this value differs a lot)

There is the possiblity to speed this process a bit up by editing the property file of the jazz scm command line tool.

preferences.properties

In your user home directory\jazz-scm (in Windows C:\Users\USR\AppData\Local\jazz-scm, on Linux ~/.jazz-scm) is a preferences.properties file.

Two options helped to speed up the process

content.threads --> Increase the download-threads to its maximum of 25
- As far as I have experienced it improves the speed on big changesets, where a lot of downloads happen
refresh.local.changes --> Set to false
- If its set to true, it refreshes your whole workdirectory on each accept to determine if you might have conflicts. Due the fact that we never check in stuff and only accept one change after another, we can safely set this to false. However it looks like it doesnt stop refreshing completely, but reduce it. In case there might be a conflict the conflicting files will get copied into the jazz-shred folder in your workdirectory.
