Features Available through the AccuRev Web UI

When you configure access to the AccuRev Web UI, you make the following features available to your users:

• Version Browser
• StreamBrowser
• Annotate
• Create New Issue
• Open Issue Queries

Before You Begin

Before performing the configuration procedure, obtain the URL used to access the AccuRev Web UI. For example, http://localhost:8080/accurev. You will need this URL to complete the configuration procedure.

How to Configure the AccuRev Web UI

1. Shut down Eclipse.
2. Create a file called settings.xml and add these lines:

   <settings>
      <webui url="http://webui-host:port/accurev"/>
   </settings>

   Where webui-host:port is the server name and port of the server hosting the AccuRev Web UI -- localhost:8080, for example.

3. On the AccuRev Server, save settings.xml in the storage\site_slice\dispatch\config directory where you installed AccuRev.
4. If you are using AccuRev replica servers, create and save settings.xml to the storage\site_slice\dispatch\config directories on those machines as well.
5. Restart Eclipse. Several new buttons appear on the AccuRev perspective toolbar as shown in the following illustration:

   

   The highlighted groups of buttons are for features that are accessible only after access to the AccuRev Web UI has been configured:

   • Version Browser
   • Annotate
   • Open the Web UI
   • Open the StreamBrowser
   • Create
   • New Issue
   • Open Issue Queries
6. Click the Open Web UI button to start the AccuRev Web UI within the Eclipse framework.
