Add a tracker source

Before work item sources can be created, add the issue tracker system as a "tracker source" associated to the project.

To create a tracker source, you must have "Pipeline create" or "Pipeline edit" permission for the project.

  1. Click the project name in the breadcrumb navigation.
  2. Click Add tracker source for the desired project.
  3. Provide a display name for the tracker source. This should be descriptive to help identify the tracker source. The display name can be up to 100 alphanumeric characters in length. Note that the Queue Username field will auto populate based on Display name input.
  4. Make note of the values for each of the four fields under "Adapter configuration". These values will be used to configure your work item adapter.

    For most source types, TeamForge Orchestrate generates a unique "source association key". The source association key uniquely identifies and helps route data from sources to the proper source/step/pipeline in TeamForge Orchestrate. You must supply this string while configuring adapters for SCM, build and review services. You can copy the key by clicking on the small clipboard icon. No association key is necessary when you configure a TeamForge project repository, though.

  5. Click Done to finish and save.

    TeamForge Orchestrate saves the new tracker source, and activates it. See the Adapters: Integration using TeamForge Orchestrate for specifics on configuring work item adapters.

  6. To review an existing tracker source's settings, on the Project Info page click the tracker source name in the tracker source list.
