In the menu, click
Project:<Project Name> > Project Settings.
Click the
Source Control tab.
The
Source Control page opens, listing all of the source control profiles that have been created for the system.
Click
New Profile to open the
New Source Control Profile dialog box.
Type a
Name for the new profile.
This is the name that is displayed in lists where the profiles are available for selection.
Select
VFS from the
Source control system list box.
Type the URL of the VFS
Repository you want to access. This field is case sensitive.
Specify the appropriate protocol type in the URL:
FTP
ftp://<FTP server URL>
HTTP
http://<HTTP server URL>
SMB
smb://<Samba server URL>
Note: HTTP, FTP and SMB are also supported for zipped files. In order to point to a zipped file the URL must be adjusted to
<zipped file type>:<protocol>://<server URL pointing to zipped file> to include the type of the zipped file. For example,
zip:http://193.80.200.135/<path>/archive.zip or
jar:http://193.80.200.135/<path>/archive.jar.
Type a valid VFS
Username and
Password.
These credentials will be used to access your VFS repository. The SMB protocol allows including the domain name in the username
in the following form:
domain/username.
Optional: Type the
Common working folder to which the
Silk Central execution server should copy the source files.
The working folder must be a local path. For example,
C:\TempSources\.
Warning: It is recommended to leave this field empty and let
Silk Central use a temporary working folder instead. Specifying a static working folder can lead to unexpected results when running parallel
executions. The temporary location can be queried from the predefined parameter
#sctm_source_root_dir.
To use a subfolder of the repository, type the subfolder's
Project path. If you leave this field empty, the project path is set to the root directory.
Note: Clicking
Browse clones the repository, which can take some time.
Click
OK.
If the trial connection is successful, you are returned to the
Source Control page.
