Use TeamForge Lab Management to access virtual or physical machines where you can build and test your code.

Tip: For more information about the new features in TeamForge Lab Management 2.2, see this introductory video. (You'll need a free open.collab.net membership to watch it.)

What Lab Management systems are assigned to me?
The easiest way to see what Lab Management systems are assigned to you is to check the My Pages page.
Find an available host to use
To work in the Lab Management environment, you need to either allocate a system to yourself or log into someone else's system in your project.
Allocate yourself a Lab Management machine
When you have been given membership and an appropriate role in a TeamForge Lab Management-enabled project, allocate a host for your own use.
Compare profiles or profile versions
To choose a profile for your TeamForge Lab Management system, compare different profiles and profile version in the Profile Library.
Create a profile from a host
Let's say you've built a generic Lab Management host and customized it for your team. With Lab Management 2.4, you can create a profile based on the host image and store it in the Project Build Library (PBL) for your project.
Rebuild a system
You can rebuild a host with a specific profile that you choose from within your project.
Log into a TeamForge Lab Management system
You can log into any machine that is assigned to a project you are a member of and that you have the requisite permissions for.
Transfer files in and out of the system
You can use WebDAV, SFTP or Windows RDP to transfer files in and out of a TeamForge Lab Management system.
Find a build
You can search for file names (not file content) in the Project Build Library.
Connect to network services outside TeamForge Lab Management
TeamForge Lab Management systems are firewalled from the outside world, for our users' safety. However, you can use port forwarding to connect to machines outside of TeamForge Lab Management.
Allocate a host from a cloud
To allocate a host from a cloud into a project, specify its type, size and profile information.
