Start CM Synergy and Migrate

$ ccm start –d /usr/local/ccmdb

Press the “Migrate” button on the CM Synergy Project View and enter the location of the files to be migrated. Type in the name of the project and a version ,eg: “Formula–1.0”. NOTE: there may be problems if your work area is too deep and/or the project name contains spaces. March Hare recommend a project name without spaces and a “short” directory path for the work area (see section on work area below).
