Enable TeamForge (Oracle Datamart) for queries from external tools

You must enable, then restart TeamForge so that you can use an external tool to query the datamart directly.

You can use external reporting tools to connect directly to a datamart only if you do not have a single-box installation using HOST_localhost.

  1. In site-options.conf, set REPORTS_DATABASE_READ_ONLY_USER and REPORTS_DATABASE_READ_ONLY_PASSWORD with your user and password.
  2. On the TeamForge host machine, enable REPORTS_DATABASE_HOST and REPORTS_DATABASE_PORT for remote access.
  3. Deploy services.
    • /opt/collabnet/teamforge/bin/teamforge provision

    The "provision" command prompts for response before it bootstraps or migrates data during TeamForge installation and upgrade respectively. Enter "Yes" or "No" to proceed. For more information, see The teamforge script.

  4. Start TeamForge.
    • service httpd start
    • /opt/collabnet/teamforge/bin/teamforge start

    You can now enable trusted users to establish connections by providing them with values of options REPORTS_DATABASE_HOST, REPORTS_DATABASE_PORT, REPORTS_DATABASE_READ_ONLY_USER, and REPORTS_DATABASE_READ_ONLY_PASSWORD.
