Configuring Access to the AccuRev Web UI
This topic describes how to configure the AccuRev Web UI to work with Eclipse.
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
- Shut down Eclipse.
- 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. - On the AccuRev Server, save settings.xml in the storage\site_slice\dispatch\config directory where you installed AccuRev.
- 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.
- 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
- Click the Open Web UI button to start the AccuRev Web UI within the Eclipse framework.
