TeamForge System Administration

You can follow these useful best practices for your TeamForge install and upgrade procedures.

Install project templates manually
Provide sample projects to help users get started quickly.
Install project templates using the installer
With TeamForge 16.10, you can install project templates automatically.
Set up an Oracle database
To use an Oracle database for your TeamForge data, set up the Oracle database and tell the installer how to handle it.
Change the scmviewer password
It is recommended to change the scmviewer password after installing TeamForge.
Install Indexer on a separate server
In this task, we install the TeamForge Indexer on a separate server.
Install Memcached
Memcached caches Subversion (SVN) authentication and authorization information and serves the mod_authnz_ctf module's authentication and authorization requests thereby reducing the number of SOAP calls, which in turn results in less load on the TeamForge Application Server.
Synchronize TeamForge source control integrations
Any time you upgrade your TeamForge site or a source control application, you must ensure that your users can still access their source code.
Upgrade PostgreSQL using PGTurant
PGTurant, a wrapper for PostgreSQL's pg_upgrade (formerly known as pg_migrator), upgrades data stored in older versions of pgsql data files to a later pgsql major version, without data dump and reload, which otherwise is required for upgrades to major pgsql versions.
Upgrade CLI reports to the latest version on Red Hat or CentOS
Use these instructions to upgrade the CLI reports to the latest version.
