Synchronizing Workstation Clocks

The computers that run application clients and the StarTeam Server must have their dates and times synchronized. Many features of the application depend on calculations involving times and dates. In particular, labels, configurations, and promotion states are all governed by time and date calculations.

Important: If the client and StarTeam Server are not kept synchronized, a number of operations (such as checkout, file status displays, or label creation) might fail or produce inaccurate results.

Therefore, you should use whatever service your network server supports for synchronizing all workstation clocks. For example, Windows network users can execute the following command to synchronize their workstation time with the computer on which the StarTeam Server is installed:

net time \\server_name /set /yes

In this example, you would replace server_name with the machine name or IP address of the network computer running the StarTeam Server.
