Using the Plug-In for Eclipse › Create a CA Harvest SCM Connection

Create a CA Harvest SCM Connection

You create a CA Harvest SCM connection by entering login information on the New Connection to CA Harvest SCM Change Manager dialog.

Note: This connection requires configuration to PEC by the System Administrator.

To create a CA Harvest SCM connection

1. Start the Eclipse development environment with the CA Harvest SCM Plug-In for Eclipse installed.

   From the perspective that you are currently in, you should see a CA Harvest SCM entry in the menu bar.

2. Click CA Harvest SCM, New Broker Connection.

   The New Connection to CA Harvest SCM dialog appears.

3. Enter your CA Harvest SCM broker name, user name, and password. Click Finish.

   Note: The plug-in treats log-ins of different case as equivalent login IDs on the Windows platform.

   After a successful log in, the broker you specified during login is shown in the Explorer view. Navigate the broker node to display the active projects, states, package list, forms, data views, items, and versions. Double-clicking a form or version opens it in an editor where you can view or modify it. Forms are opened for modification in the Form Editor, and version lists are opened in the Lists window where you can perform actions on versions from the list. Double-clicking a normal-tagged version opens the version in an editor in read-only mode.

   Your broker location persists until you discard it by right-clicking the broker name and clicking Discard Broker from the shortcut menu. Exiting Eclipse does not discard your location or remove any projects.
