Error description

• It's possible to have an object version used more than once in
  a Synergy project due to a known defect PM20262. This is a
  permanent restriction.
  The error message was reproduced  with Rational Synergy
  7.1.0.2.01 with a Linux server and for both a Windows client
  and a Linux client.
  1) To reproduce, you need to have the exact same object (same
  name, version, type, instance) twice in the same project, in
  different directories.
  To do so:
  -Start a Java Client in Web mode.
  -Create a default task
  -Create a main project (the project's name is 'startup0' in this
  example).
  -Create 2 subprojects at the same level, in the main project.
  (in this example the subprojects'name are: 'startup1' and
  'startup2').
  -In the subproject 'startup1' create 2 subdirectories: 'boss0'
  and 'boss1'.
  -Copy and Paste the subdirectory 'boss0' from the subproject
  'startup1' into the subproject 'startup2'.
  So the hierarchy is:
  ##
  startup0
  -? startup1
  --? boss0
  --? boss1
  -? startup2
  --? boss0
  ##
  -Create an object 'bingo.c' in the subdirectory 'boss1' of the
  subproject 'startup1'.
  -Copy and Paste this object 'bingo.c' into the subdirectory
  'boss0' of the subproject 'startup2'.
  -Complete the task and Update the main project and its
  subprojects.
  =? We are now in the situation where the same object 'bingo.c'
  exists twice in the same subproject 'startup1', in the
  subdirectories 'boss1' and 'boss0'.
  With the following hierarchy:
  ##
  startup0
  -? startup1
  --? boss0
  ----? bingo.c
  --? boss1
  ----? bingo.c
  -? startup2
  --? boss0
  ----? bingo.c
  ##
  2) Synchonize the object 'bingo.c' in the subproject 'statup1',
  using the object in the directory 'boss0' or 'boss1'.
  There is an error message in the user's UI log:

  There is no error, synchonizing that same object in the Java
  client with Traditional mode.
