What's the meaning for LOCAL in OMC?

What\'s the meaning for LOCAL in OMC?

Hello list: I have a question regarding OMC setup.

In Xe, when we say 'check out' to LOCAL or 'get' to LOCAL, does the LOCAL always mean the develop path code on my fat client, or it could be some other path code ? eg: if I sign on to a testing environment, is the check out/get overrides my LOCAL testing path code? or it only overrides my LOCAL develop environment?

What I remember is: when using OL iin B732 , depends on which path code I check the object out from, the overrides is to the same path code on my fat client. that is: if I check out a UBE from testing path code, the overrides will be in my local testing path code.

Is this the difference between Xe and B732?

Thank you very much!
Jennifer

LOCAL is the "current" path code - the one you are logged in to.

Jennifer,
back in the old pre-OMW times, we were able to chose the pathcode where
we want to check out from. And we were able to chose the pathcode where
to check in to. That is correct.
Locally, however, the specs would always go to the pathcode´s spec files
(.ddb/.xdb) in the pathcode we are logged in to. In your example, when
you checked out from your testing pathcode, the specs would go locally
into whatever pathcode belongs to the environment you logged in to, not
necessarilly to the local testing pathcode´s spec files. What if that
pathcode was not installed on your machine?

It has always been this way (B732x, B733.1/2) and is still (kind of) the
same with OMW´s advanced get.

Thanks, Gerd
