Fetch Project Notes

If the PCM project name is not the same as the CIMPLICITY project name:

The folder for the fetched project has the Proficy Change Management project name.

The project name is the local project name.

Example

A local project is named PCMLOCAL.

The project is named PCMSERVER on the Proficy Change Management server.

The project PCMSERVER is fetched to another computer.

The names are as follows.

A	The fetched project folder name is PCMSERVER.
B	The fetched project name is PCMLOCAL.

If you immediately open a Directory Comparison report it will report that there are differences.

However, if you run the report to discover what the differences are, the report may declare there are no differences.

The initial notification that there are differences is based on time stamps of actual file creation vs. Fetch creation.

Note: If there actually were differences when the project was added or checked into the PCM server, those differences will be reported.
