Adding or Updating Configurations

You must add at least one configuration for each plugin you plan to use. Multiple configurations can be added to point to different systems or projects or to use different filters.

Before you can use a plugin, you must at minimum update it with your specific connection information for the configuration. Each of the plugin configurations in the default implementation have example values, but you'll need to update these according to your own implementation.

Important: The Release Control Providers administrator page options can be performed only by users with Managed Administrator privileges.

To add or update a plugin configuration:

  1. In your Web browser, enter the URL for the Release Control Providers administrator page. For example:

    http://serverName/workcenter/tmtrack.dll?shell=swc&StdPage&template=rlm%2fprovideradmin

    Tip: The link for your installation is in SBM Configurator. Just select the Release Control tab and click the link.
  2. Use one of the following configuration options:
    • If you are updating an existing configuration, beside the configuration, click Update.
    • If you are duplicating an existing configuration, beside the configuration, click Clone.
    • If you are adding a configuration, at the top of the page, click the Add Configuration link.
  3. In the Plugin field, select the name of the plugin.
  4. Fill out the fields presented in the user interface.

For example configuration details, see the following:
