Creating Server Configurations
Before creating a new server configuration, you need to decide upon a unique name for the configuration. This name
is case insensitive and cannot contain colons (:), back slashes (\), or forward slashes (/), but can contain blanks or
apostrophes ( ' ). You must also set up the database to be used with the server configuration. A database can contain
only one server configuration; however, other applications can share a database with StarTeam.
This topic contains the following information:
♦ Creating a server configuration using the Server Administration tool
♦ Creating a server configuration from the command line
To create a server configuration
1
Open the Server Administration tool.
Note:
You must access the Server Administration tool on the computer where the Server is
installed.
2
Click the New Configuration toolbar button, or choose Server
The Create a New Configuration wizard opens.
3
To set the General options for the new server configuration, do the following:
4
New Configuration from the main menu.
1
Type a unique name in the Configuration name text box.
2
In the Repository path text box, enter or click Browse for the location in which the Server will create the
server configuration files.
3
Select a Database type from the list box. You cannot change the database type once the server
configuration has been created.
4
Check or clear Create new StarTeam database and ODBC data source. The wizard selects this option
by default.
Select the Default or Custom hive option for the Initial Hive Settings.
Note:
If you select the Default, changing the repository path changes the default hive settings.
Changing the repository path does not have this effect if you select Custom.
If you select Custom, you can override the default hive settings by modifying any of the following fields:
♦ Name: Unique name for the hive. DefaultHive is the default.
♦ Archive path: Path to the Archives folder for the new hive. The default path is <repository path>
\DefaultHive\Archives .
♦ Cache path: Path to the Cache folder for the new hive. The default path is <repository path>
\DefaultHive\Cache .
♦ Maximum cache size: Maximum number of megabytes of hard disk space that the Cache can use. The
default is 20% of the disk space available when the option is set.
♦ Cache cleanup interval: Seconds between cache cleanup/refresh operations. The default value is 600.
The range is 60 (1 minute) to 3153600 (1 year).
♦ Storage limit threshold: Percentage of total disk space allowed for hive. When this percentage has been
reached, StarTeam does not add any more archives to the hive. The default is 95% of total disk space.
