Copying and Opening URLs

The StarTeam client can open URL shortcut links to projects, views, folders, Not-in-View folders, and items. This enables you to quickly access specific locations in a project. You can also copy a URL to the clipboard, which allows you to easily move its contents to an appropriate application, such as an email client or a document.

Like other URLs, StarTeam URLs include the name of the server for the connection. In some organizations, StarTeam servers may be reached from both the Internet and the corporate intranet. In such cases, a server may have two different IP addresses. If you configure the server list to reference a server by its IP address, rather than its DNS name, then any URLs generated by the client will work only from the network on which that IP address exists.

Note: StarTeam shortcuts use the file extension .stx. For shortcuts to saved View Compare/Merge sessions, it uses .vcmx and .vcms.
Tip: Double-click a StarTeam URL link in an email or other application to open StarTeam to the specified project, view, or item. In Windows Explorer, StarTeam links display a small StarTeam icon which you can double-click to open.
