Sharing config specs among Linux, the UNIX system, and the Windows system

In principle, you can share config specs among Linux®, the UNIX system, and the Windows® system. That is, users on all types of systems, using views whose storage directories reside on another type of platform, can set and edit the same set of config specs.

You should avoid sharing config specs across platforms of different types. If possible, maintain separate config specs for each platform. However, if you must share config specs, adhere to the following requirements:
  • Use slashes (/) in paths instead of backslashes (\).
  • Use relative paths instead of full paths, whenever possible. And do not use VOB tags in paths. You can ignore this requirement if your VOB tags on Linux, the UNIX system, and Windows systems all use single, identical path components that differ only in their leading slash characters, for example \src and /src.
  • Always edit and set config specs on Linux or the UNIX system.
