IBM SC34-4499-03 manual Getting familiar with the TeamConnection client interfaces

currently available, most other familiar TeamConnection functions are available through the Web client. If you want to disable the Web Client interface, you must set the environment variable TC_WWWDISABLED before starting the family.

To begin using the TeamConnection web client you must point your web browser to the correct URL. The syntax of the URL is: http://host name of the server:port number of your family. For example, if your server host name is testfam and your port number is 7890, the URL would look like: http://testfam:7890

When connecting to the Web client, you will be prompted for a user name and a password. The browser will cache this user name and password until it is closed. The user name is required, but the password may not be, depending on the authentication level of the family and the host on which the browser is running.

If your organization authentication level is set for PASSWORD_ONLY, you must login using a password to gain access. If your organization authentication level is HOST_ONLY, you may be denied access to the web client because either the host being used is not in the user's host list, or the browser is not bypassing the proxy. You may be able to gain access by:

vIf the host being used is not in the user's host list, you must add the host to the user's host list to gain access.

vIf the browser is not bypassing the proxy, do one of the following:

±Temporarily disable the proxy when using the Web Client.

±Recon®gure the browser to bypass the proxy when connecting to the family server.

±Use an autoproxy so the browser will automatically bypass the proxy when connecting to the family server.

vChange the authentication level to HOST_OR_PASSWORD and login using a password.

Using the web client is much like using the TeamConnection GUI. The following are some differences you might ®nd:

vParts cannot be extracted, checked out or checked in with the web client.

vReleases, Drivers, and Workareas cannot be extracted with the web client.

vA ®lter for Corequisites does not exist in the TeamConnection GUI.

vFor the FeatureModify action, the following are available with the TeamConnection web client (but not the TeamConnection GUI):

±newName

±orginLogin.

vFor the DriverMemberView action, the following are available with the TeamConnection web client (but not the TeamConnection GUI):

±state

±defectName

±defectAbstract
