You can use the Administration page in the web client to enable an external content
repository for source control. When enabled, source control content larger than the configured
threshold is stored in an external content repository instead of in the application's database.
Before you begin
You must be logged in to the
Administration page of a
Change
and Configuration Management application that is registered with the
Jazz™ Team Server.
You must be a member of the JazzAdmins repository permissions group to have administrative access to
enable/modify the external content store settings.
About this task
Jazz Source Control can store content externally, either on a server that supports the WEBDAV
protocol, or on the application server's local filesystem. If you are configuring an external WEBDAV
server, then you need to supply credentials that the CCM application can use to access that server.
Procedure
- On the Administration page for the Change and Configuration
Management application (not for the Jazz Team Server),
click the Application tab.
- In the left pane, under Configuration, click Advanced
Properties.
- On the Advanced Properties page, in the SCM area, set
the following properties:
- Versioned Content External Repository - Write Enabled -
true or false. When set to true, new content is
written to the external content store. When set to false, new content is written to the Change and
Configuration Management (CCM) database, but content that was previously stored to an external
content store is still retrieved from that content store.
- Versioned Content External Content - Artifact Minimum Size - The minimum
size of content (in bytes) that should be stored in the external content store (if configured).
- Versioned Content External Repository - Type - One of
NONE, FILE, or WEBDAV.
- Versioned Content External Repository - URI - A URI pointing to the root
of the external content store.
- Versioned Content External Repository - User ID - The user ID for the
connection to the external content store (if required).
- Versioned Content External Repository - Password - The password for the
connection to the external content store (if required).
