Configuring Datamart

DataMart is bundled along with the server installer and can be configured from server administration tool. To configure Datamart for a specific server configuration, select the configuration from the administration tool, click on Tools->Administration->"Configure Datamart". This option is available only on Windows platform.

Check the "Enable Datamart for StarTeam server" option.

This option creates a new windows service called "StarTeamDatamart-<configName>" to run Datamart extraction and also starts the service automatically. The .stxtract file is created under <StarTeam server install path>/Datamart folder. This file details the connection and login parameters for the database and StarTeam Server. It also has the list of tables to extract, the project and view to extract, and an update option. By default, Datamart process creates the extraction tables in the same database as the StarTeam server. All these options can be configured/edited using Datamart User interface tool which can be found under <StarTeam server install path>/Datamart folder.

Other options to configure include "Update", "Continuous" and "Strip EOL" which are all enabled by default. Please refer to "StarTeam Datamart" User Guide for more information on these options. Datamart process uses the Administrator user credentials used to log into Server admin tool to run the extraction.

Disabling the Datamart extraction can be done by disabling the "Enable Datamart for StarTeam server" option. This would remove the configuration files, stop the Windows service and delete the service if possible.
