If you have not installed
StarTeam Server previously, you must perform the following tasks before team members can begin using
StarTeam.
-
Create a server configuration using the
Server Administration tool. For details about creating a server configuration, see the chapter about your database type:
When you create a
StarTeam Server configuration, you set values for the configuration’s session options, which are stored in the
starteam-server-configs.xml file. Session options specify the core information that
StarTeam Server requires to start a server configuration.
-
Log on to that configuration using the
Server Administration tool.
StarTeam Server comes with a free administrative user, named
StarTeam Server Administrator. That user has the default logon name
Administrator and the default password
Administrator.
-
Configure the server using the
Server Administration tool tool and, for some options, by editing the file starteam-server-configs.xml.
After
StarTeam Server configuration is created, you can set configuration options, which are stored in the database for the
StarTeam Server configuration. Configuration options enable you to fine-tune
StarTeam Server configuration performance and enable the use of several features, such as:
- Email and audit features
- Compression and encrypting of data that is transferred between the server and client workstations
-
Add users and groups using the
Server Administration tool.
-
Create projects and views using the
StarTeam Cross-Platform Client.
-
Set the appropriate access rights for the server configuration, projects, and views using the
Server Administration tool and the
StarTeam Cross-Platform Client.
-
If desired, you can run the server configuration as a
Microsoft Windows service using the
Server Administration tool.
