Logging on to StarTeam Server and Creating or Opening a Project

Before you can create a new project or open an existing project, you must select a server configuration for the project and log on.

  1. Click Start > Programs > Micro Focus > StarTeam Cross-Platform Client <version> on Windows or on Linux, open the Console, navigate to the extraction folder starteam-<language>-<version>-java/bin, and type ./StarteamCPC.
  2. Choose Project > New or Project > Open . The Log On to [server_name] dialog box opens.
  3. Type the User Name and Password in the appropriate fields.
    Note: Passwords are case sensitive and may have length restrictions.
  4. Check Save As Default Credentials For This Server to save your default credentials for this server configuration as this user name and password. This name will then appear in parentheses after the server configuration name in lists.
    The New Project Wizard or the Open Project Wizard displays allowing you to create a new project or work on an existing project. On the Microsoft Windows platform, logging on to StarTeam also displays the Toolbar Utility icon in your system tray. The Toolbar Utility caches a default credential for each StarTeam Server you access during a work session. This reduces the number of times you need to log on to the same StarTeam Server.
  5. Optionally, click the Toolbar Utility icon and choose Open to see the list of servers for which you currently have default configurations.
  6. Optionally, double-click the Toolbar Utility icon and choose Use Same Name/Password to access several server configurations with only one logon.
