Synchronize Configuration Example

{
    "synchronize": {
        "downloadNewFiles": "edit",
        "keepAlive": false,
        "preferZip": false,
        "forceLocalTime": true,
        "purge": false,
        "setTimeAttempts": 3
    }
}

Important notes

Only files matched source, headers, builders and resource but not matched exclude will be synchronized. How to adjust these settings see Project Settings

Settings Description

  • downloadNewFiles - Strategy for downloading remote files which are newer than local copies.
    • overwrite - remote files will overwrite local files.
    • skip - remote files will not be downloaded but an appropriate warning message will be shown.
    • edit - remote files will be downloaded into memory and the edit-merge window will be opened to allow the user decide what changes to save.
  • keepAlive - Shell and SFTP connections will not be closed after synchronization is done and will be reused for the next synchronization.
  • preferZip - Prefer ZIP for uploading source files.
  • forceLocalTime - Set local time instead of UTC for archived files. Used when synchronizing via ZIP.
  • purge - Execute PURGE command after uploading source.
  • setTimeAttempts - The maximum number of attempts to set file time. NOTE: the first attempt to set file time may be rejected because the file is busy. VMS IDE will re-try to set time again.

If you have the full project on OpenVMS and want to download it to your local machine, set downloadNewFiles to overwrite.
If you have the full project on your local machine and use OpenVMS only for compiling and debugging, set downloadNewFiles to skip.
If the project on OpenVMS can be changed outside and may be newer than the local copy, set downloadNewFiles to edit.
