The Workspace personal options allow you to select a variety of options that affect the way your workspace operates.
Specifies the maximum number of minutes between refreshes of your project. This refresh is the equivalent of pressing Shift + F5 and updates the Folder Tree and the upper pane. It happens every X minutes unless an operation by the user such as pressing Shift+F5 forces a refresh and resets the timer.
Automatic refresh is designed to perform even if the client is minimized. When Automatic refresh enabled, if the network is down, Automatic refresh will attempt to refresh the data in the client resulting in a connection error.
Reopen at startup any views that were left open when you exited the application the previous time.
Specifies the name and path to which your reports should be sent
Specifies the name and path for your StarTeam.Log files. The StarTeam.Log file contains data about operations sent from your workstation to one or more servers, depending on what project views you have open. The data includes the name of the project so that you can isolate data for a particular server when necessary.
Records errors that occur while you are using the client application. The errors log lists the date and time you started your server configuration and any errors or failed operations between the server and client. The application identifies each failed operation by an internal ID and provides an explanation. For example, you might see: ...Operation 40956 failed: TCP/IP Socket Error 10054:.... If you are logging both errors and operations, the application also logs the operation that the server was performing at the time of the error.
Specifies that StarTeam should record file operations and/or events that take at least the specified number of milliseconds, and should send them to the .log files. The milliseconds time setting stops the log from filling up with operations and events of little importance. The default, 10 milliseconds, is a reasonable setting.
The Summary option includes a breakdown of the time spent on the client and the server for each operation, and the Details option lists the server commands along with the summary.
This option records information on the date, time, and UI Operation number for each command executed by your workstation. Operations can be executed on either the server or the client.
Specifies that StarTeamMPX events should be sent to the .log files. The log identifies the time and date on which a StarTeamMPX event (an automatic refresh or file status update) took place. The log prefaces a StarTeamMPX event as Statistics for Events and uses internal IDs and brief explanations to identify the server event.
The following example describes a status change for a file: ...Statistics for Events /1b21dd1-e208-51ea-01b2-1dd1e20851ea/Object/File/ Modify.
You can log StarTeamMPX events only if you check Enable MPX on the MPX tab in the Personal Options dialog box. For StarTeamMPX related operations, any changes you make on the Workspace tab do not apply to projects already open. However, the application will log StarTeamMPX events for any projects you open after checking this option.
Changes the look and feel of the application.
Increases or decreases the application font size.
Specifies the default behavior for opening another instance of StarTeam when using a shortcut or URL.
Using a URL or shortcut defaults to using an open instance of the StarTeam Cross-Platform Client to open. However if the client has a dialog open inside some view (or some other modal operation in process), StarTeam cannot use open a project view in that client. In such situations, when you click a URL from email (for example) or a shortcut on your desktop, or a .vcmx file attached to a change package, a new instance of StarTeam is opened only if the option selected from the Application Instance group box allows it. If the option is not selected, and you try to open a shortcut, you may get an error saying your StarTeam Cross-Platform Client is busy.
