When you connect to HOPEX, you can:
• create a private workspace (if you do not already have one).
You can only have one private workspace open in the same environment.The private workspace is open for each user on both his/her repository and on the system repository. A private workspace always exists on system repository even if the user is not using any of the system repository objects.• resume work in your private workspace
• resume work in a collaborative workspace

1. Start the HOPEX application.

A user has at most one private workspace in progress in an environment, but can have in parallel several available collaborative workspaces.Your desktop opens.
A private workspace comprises a set of files located in a sub-folder of the repository:
"<EnvironmentName>\DB\<RepositoryName>\<RepositoryName>.Transactions\xyz.*"
where "xyz" represents the user code.
Note that a private workspace cannot be separated from its repository (these files cannot be used independently).
