Editing StarTeam Issue Tracking Profiles

When the server or login credentials of your issue tracking system change, you must edit your issue tracking profile accordingly.

To edit an existing StarTeam issue tracking profile:

  1. In the menu, click Issues > Issue Tracking Integrations. The Issue Tracking page displays, listing all issue tracking profiles that have been created for the system.
  2. Click on the name of the issue tracking profile that you want to modify. The Edit Issue Tracking Profile dialog box opens.
  3. Edit the Name of the profile. This is the name that is displayed in lists where profiles are available for selection.
  4. Edit the Description of the profile.
  5. Optional: Select a new Type for the issue tracking profile from the list box.
  6. Edit the Username and Password. These credentials are used to access your issue tracking system.
  7. Edit the Hostname of your StarTeam server and the Port that is used to connect to the server.
  8. Modify the type of Encryption that the profile supports.
  9. To change the StarTeam project, click Load Project to load all projects from the server and update the Project list box, then select a project from the Project list box.
  10. To change the view, click Load View to load all views for the selected project and populate the View list box, then select a view from the View list box.
  11. Select the issue type from the Item Type list.
    Note: Selecting an item type other than ChangeRequest only works if this type has a StarTeam workflow configured.
  12. To change the workflow driver field, click Load Status Field to load all enumeration fields for change requests and populate the Status Field list box, then select a status field from the Status Field list box. If you are using a custom workflow in StarTeam, this field is the workflow driver field in StarTeam that maps to the Silk Central issue state.

  15. Select Yes or No in the Workflow field. Select Yes to show the required fields that are specified in the workflow of the selected View.
  16. Click OK.

    Silk Central attempts a trial connection to the external system using the information you have provided.
