Products

• CA Harvest Software Change Manager
• CA Harvest Software Change Manager - OpenMake Meister

Issue/Introduction

It is possible that on certain servers, the Eclipse core APIs are not able to read correct configuration settings. 

 

Environment

Release : 13.x and 14.x

Component : CA Harvest Software Change Manager

Resolution

A work around in such cases is to backup the workbench.ini file in C:\Program Files\CA\SCM\  

Then, 

a) add below entries at the end of the existing contents in that file:

[email protected]/.cascm/configuration 
[email protected]/.cascm/workspace 

b) Save the file 

c) Relaunch Workbench again
