Properties tab

  • User: Enter the Serena Dimensions login name.
  • Password: Enter the Serena Dimensions password.
  • Server: Enter the Serena Dimensions server host name.
  • Database name: Enter the name of the database for the product you are working with.
  • Database connection: Enter the connection string for that database.
  • Server locale: Select the language.

Workset Map tab

If the project has been downloaded/moved to a location other than default work area, use this tab to specify a mapping between the project (or stream) with the Serena repository and the local project.

If you are working in the default work area, you do not need to define mappings.
 


Enter an expression that maps workspace resources to Serena Dimension repository paths.

  • Example 1: If you use scontrol.rep.serena.mapping_1=${project_loc\:MyProject};PRODUCT1\: WORKSET1;src\\MyProject, then Project 'MyProject' will be mapped to the Serena workset PRODUCT1:WORKSET1  and workset relative path: src\\MyProject
  • Example 2: If you use scontrol.rep.serena.mapping_2=${workspace_loc};PRODUCT1\:WORKSET1 then the complete  workspace will be mapped to the Serena workset PRODUCT1:WORKSET1.

StarTeam Configuration

To use StarTeam with C++test ensure that:

  • Ensure that you have the Borland StarTeam SDK installed. This can be downloaded for free from the Borland web site.

For Visual Studio plugins, Parasoft StarTeam support is available for VS 2005 and VS 2008. When you are enabling source control support, specify the following repository properties:

  • Server: Enter the StarTeam server’s machine name or IP address.
  • Port: Enter the StarTeam server’s port.
  • User: Enter the user name under which you want to connect to the repository.
  • Password: Enter the password for the above user name.
  • Paths lookup> StarTeam Path: When working with large multi-project repositories, you can improve performance by specifying the project, view, or folder that you are currently working with. You can indicate either a simple Project name (all views will be scanned when searching for the repository path), a Project/View (only the given view will scanned) or Project/View/Folder (only the specified StarTeam folder will be scanned).
  • Paths lookup> Working Folder: If the StarTeam Path setting specifies a StarTeam view or folder, you can use this field to indicate a new working directory for the selected view's root folder (if the path represents a view) or a new working directory for the selected folder (if the path represents a folder).

Subversion Configuration

Parasoft’s Subversion support is based on the command line client 'svn'. To use Subversion with C++test, ensure that:

  • The Subversion 1.2.x, 1.3.x,  1.4.x, 1.5.x, 1.6.x, 1.7.x, or 1.8.x client is installed.
  • The client certificate is stored in the Subversion configuration area. The Subversion client has a built-in system for caching authentication credentials on disk. By default, whenever the command-line client successfully authenticates itself to a server, it saves the credentials in the user's private runtime configuration area—in ~/.subversion/auth/ on Unix-like systems or %APPDATA%/Subversion/auth/ on Windows.

When you are enabling source control support, specify the following repository properties in the Create Source Control Description dialog:

  • URL: Enter the URL for the SVN server. The URL should specify the protocol, server name, port and starting repository path (for example, svn://buildmachine.foobar.com/home/svn).
  • User: Enter the user name under which you want to connect to the repository.
  • Password: Enter the password (not encoded) for the above user name.

Synergy Configuration

Synergy 7.0 introduces a new, faster way of working called Web mode. C++test supports both of the following Synergy/CM communication modes:

...

  • Web mode (since Synergy 7.0)
  • Traditional mode
  • When you are enabling source control support, specify the following repository properties in the Create Source Control Description dialog:

    ...

  • Database path: Enter the absolute Synergy database path.
  • Engine host: Enter the Synergy server’s machine name or IP address. For Web mode, the host must be a valid Synergy Web URL with protocol and port (e.g., http://synergy.server:8400).
  • User: Enter the user name under which you want to connect to the repository.
  • Password: Enter the password for the above user name.
  • Use remote client (UNIX systems only): Enable this option if you want to start CCM as a remote client session. This is not used for Web mode.
  • Local database (remote client): Enter the path to the location where the database information is copied when you are running a remote client session. This is not used for Web mode.
  • Team Foundation Server Configuration

    ...

    By default, C++test uses the cached credentials for accessing TFS (this could be your user login or some previously logged in information). You can provide custom credentials if you want to use them instead of the cached ones.

    Visual SourceSafe Configuration

    ...

  • VSS Database Path: Enter the database path (the location of SRCSAFE.INI).
  • User: Enter the user name under which you want to connect to the repository.
  • Password: Enter the password for the above user name.
  • Project root in repository: Enter the project root. This begins with $/; for example, $/nightly_test.
  • Specifying Source Control Definitions via localsettings
