Release: July 2012
TeamForge connector 2.1 adds these new features.
- Graphical field mappings
- TeamForge connector 2.1 supports
built-in graphical field mapping capabilities with the CollabNet Desktops
for Eclipse and Windows. In contrast to the graphical mapping features in
earlier releases, you don't need additional software to edit mappings. Note
that this is not a replacement for the Altova MapForce feature, but another
option to configure mappings. The new functionality includes:
- Default Mapping Rules templates to help you get started
- Mapping rules for Direct, Value-map, and Constant field mapping, and
custom XSLT snippets
It is also now possible to use graphical mappings with a Linux client.
For more information, see Graphical Mapping.
- Core configuration
- Site administrators can configure the core connector properties using the
CollabNet Desktops for Eclipse and Windows and the TeamForge web interface. The ability to
restore default values is also available. For more information, see this wiki.
- Online backup option
- Site administrators can back up the connector using the web interface. The
current landscape and a snapshot of the database are backed up in the
CCFHOME/archive/backup-$Date directory. Only manual
restoration of backups is supported. For more information, see Back up and Restore the Connector.
- Improved handling of ccf.conf
- Configuring CCF runtime properties has been simplified. The
ccf.conf file now has a single property,
ccf.home, defined. All other properties have been moved
to a new ccfhomeruntimeconfig.properties file in the
CCFHome directory. A default template for this file
is available in the Apache Tomcat distribution
($CATALINA_HOME/ccfhomeruntimeconfig-template.properties).
When you update ccfhomeruntimeconfig.properties, you do
not need to re-install the connector service. For more information, see
Configuration properties for the
TeamForge Connector Server.
- Other enhancements:
-

- Enhancements to the REST API
- Confirmation dialogs to prevent users from losing data while switching tabs in the TeamForge web interface
