The project must not be open or else the copy/moved/archived project will have file remnants of the original location that will render the project inoperable in the new location.
If the project has an iCDB Server running for it, then it is in use. The easiest way to check if a project has an iCDB Server running is to check the following directory:
<project_directory>/database/cdbsvr
If this directory contains a sAddress.adr file, then either an iCDB Server is running for this project, or that iCDB Server was killed unexpectedly.
If the project is in use, simply have the active users close the project until you complete the copy/move/archive operation.
If the iCDB Server persists when all users have closed the project, use iCDB Server Manager to shutdown or kill the iCDB Server or detach “dead” clients. See the topic, iCDB Server Manager, for more information.
If the location where you copy/move/archive the project does not have access to the RSCM Server used in the original location, then you must specify a new RSCM Server name for the project in the new location. The method for changing the RSCM Server name varies from tool to tool, so check your tool’s user’s guide or reference manual for this information.
Make sure that the file system permissions for the new project directory match the original project directory so all users have the same access. If you intend for the new location to serve users who did not have permissions to the original location or you do not want users from the original location to have access to the new location, then modify the directory’s permissions according to these needs. See the topic, Setting Permissions, for more information.
