IBM SC34-4499-03 manual Using the TeamConnection web client

The Quick Commands Reference is a booklet that lists the syntax of each

TeamConnection command.

You can also become familiar with the commands by looking at the contents of the log ®le where TeamConnection stores the commands that are issued as you use the GUI. This ®le is speci®ed in theLog ®le ®eld on the Setup page of the Settings notebook.

The default name is teamc.log; it is stored in the directory where the client is installed (for AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris it is stored in the $HOME directory of the user), unless you specify a different location in the Settings notebook.

You can type TeamConnection commands from a prompt within any directory; the TeamConnection GUI does not need to be started. Or if you start the GUI, you can type a command on the command line in the Tasks window (this command line is located at the bottom of the window, just above the footer that indicates the user name and family name).

Before you start to use the command line interface, you might want to set the most used environment variables, such as TC_FAMILY or TC_COMPONENT. You are not required to set these environment variables, but if you do not, you will need to specify them in the command when required.

You set environment variables differently for different platforms:

vAIX, HP-UX, and Solaris users set environment variables in the .pro®le (sh, ksh environment), .dtpro®le (cde environment), or .cshrc (csh environment).

vOS/2 users set environment variables in the con®g.sys ®le or from a command line prompt.

vWindows 95 and Windows NT users set environment variables in the Windows Control Panel.

vSome environment variables are set in your con®g.sys ®le during installation.

You can override the value you set for an environment variable by using the corresponding ¯ag in the command. For example, you have the TC_FAMILY environment variable set to robot, but you need a ®le from another family named octo, so you issue the following command:

teamc part -extract hello.c -family octo -release 9501

ªAppendix A. Environment Variablesº on page 227 provides a complete list of the TeamConnection environment variables.

Using the TeamConnection web client

The TeamConnection Web Client provides family server connectivity and great deal of the functionality provided by a standard TeamConnection client without the overhead required by a standard client installation. Using a web browser, anyone in the organization can access server data (provided the server is con®gured appropriately) by addressing a machine and a port number. Although ®le input/output functions are not
