Frequently asked questions about developing applications to work with CollabNet TeamForge

Use this background information to get started with developing applications to integrate with CollabNet TeamForge.

• How does CollabNet TeamForge compare to CollabNet Enterprise Edition?
  You may need to migrate a CEE site into a CollabNet TeamForge 6.x site. This information provides some grounding for this concept.
• What is the correct procedure for modifying a hosted Lab Manager profile?
  All profile modifications must be done through the Lab Management UI, under Administration > Manage Profiles. Lab Manager profiles should not be directly modified and changes should not be committed to subversion.
• How can I import tasks into TeamForge Task Manager?
  Tasks can be imported into the Task Manager by using the CollabNet TeamForge Task Management Plugin for Microsoft Project
• How do I generate a wiki table of contents?
  You can create a table of contents from any heading text that you have in your wiki page.
• What is the SOAP API?
  SourceForge exposes a subset of the APIs defined by the application server as web services, through the SOAP protocol. You can dowload the SOAP API from OCN using the following link (see the link 1).
• How do I enable Neon debugging in my Subversion client?
  This is easliy done in a Linux environment by editing the existing servers text file. On Windows it is not easily done and not recommended.
• How do I resolve timeouts when calling web services?
  This is due to the requested operation taking longer then your client SOAP stack is configured to wait before throwing a timeout. You will need to reference your client documentation to see how to update the timeout properties of the connection.
• Can I run other java applications in the same JBoss instance as CollabNet Team Forge?
  It is recommended to create a separate instance of JBoss or tomcat and deploy your applications there. While it is possible to deploy other applications alongside CTF, you may encounter some errors.
• How can I troubleshoot/diagnose Firefox browser issues?
  Support issues sometimes indicate, or lead to the consideration of, browser issues. Follow the link below to troubleshoot and diagnose issues with Mozilla's Firefox browser.
• How do I enable/disable Path Bathed Permissions via SOAP?
