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:
v If 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.
v If the browser is not bypassing the proxy, do one of the following:
– Temporarily disable the proxy when using the Web Client.
– Reconfigure 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.
v Change 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 find:
v Parts cannot be extracted, checked out or checked in with the web client.
v Releases, Drivers, and Workareas cannot be extracted with the web client.
v A filter for Corequisites does not exist in the TeamConnection GUI.
v For the FeatureModify action, the following are available with the TeamConnection
web client (but not the TeamConnection GUI):
– newName
– orginLogin.
v For the DriverMemberView action, the following are available with the
TeamConnection web client (but not the TeamConnection GUI):
– state
– defectName
– defectAbstract
– committedVersion.
