Using the Plug-In for Eclipse › Log In to the Workbench

Log In to the Workbench

To use the Workbench, you must log in to a CA Harvest SCM broker. To log in successfully, the following conditions must be met:

• The database processes must be running.
• The CA Harvest SCM broker must be running.
• At least one CA Harvest SCM server process must be running.
• (Linux only) Set the JAVA_HOME variable export to JAVA_HOME=<dir>.

To log in to the Workbench

1. Launch the Workbench by doing the following platform-specific step:
   • (Windows) Start the Workbench executable from the program group.
   • (Linux) Run the Workbench script (workbench) in the $CA_SCM_HOME/bin folder.

   The Workbench appears.

2. Click Connection, New Connection.

   The New Connection Wizard appears.

3. Enter the broker name.
4. Enter your CA Harvest SCM user name and password.
5. (Optional) Disable the Use RT Server on same machine as broker option, and enter an RTserver name in the RT Server field.

   Click Finish.

   You are logged in to the Workbench and the broker you specified during login appears in the Explorer View.

   Your broker location persists until you discard it. Exiting CA Harvest SCM does not discard your location or remove any projects.

Note: In one Workbench session, you can log in to multiple brokers served through a single RTserver as long as Enterprise Communicator (PEC) is configured appropriately. Additional broker connections are added as top-level broker nodes in the Explorer View. If the Explorer filter is active, add the new broker as an Explorer filter value to display the broker in the Explorer View. For information about configuring PEC, see the Implementation Guide.
