Git Server enhancements

Git-Server backend capability is enhanced to accommodate the AccuRev WebUI migration activity which will be part of upcoming releases.

Users should perform steps below only if they would like to see the WebUI re-directions to Git-Server. Since AccuRev WebUI is still present in 7.7, it would continue to function as it was in earlier releases:

  1. Add new URLs in Git-Server for all the WebUI links from ACGUI to re-direct to Git-Server page.
  2. Add new URLs in Git-Server for Eclipse/VisualStudio/IntelliJ/Jenkins integrations for all the WebUI links to navigate to Git-Server page.

Note:

  1. The functionalities above can be used by the user only after making settings.xml file changes as below. By default, the webui field in the settings.xml file has the following value: http://<hostname>:8080/accurev, you have to change it to git-server and then restart the services.

  2. Some WebUI functionalities are not implemented, for those features or WebLinks, the Page not implemented page would be shown.

In addition, the source code in all the AccuRev components has been extensively reviewed and amended to address security vulnerabilities.
