Concepts and terms in TeamForge

Descriptions of concepts and terms in TeamForge.

• J2EE Architecture and security
  CollabNet TeamForge is a J2EE application that employs three-tier architecture to provide a secure environment for mission-critical data.
• Subversion replication in TeamForge
  Here's some information on how replication could be useful in your TeamForge site and what to consider when you plan to set up a replica.
• What's the difference between a "managed" and "unmanaged" CVS server?
  You can use CollabNet TeamForge to control a CVS server, or you can run the CVS server stand-alone, or "unmanaged."
• What is an integrated application?
  An integrated application is a stand-alone application that can seamlessly integrate into any CollabNet TeamForge project.
• What is in the integrated application's configuration file?
  Besides the basic information regarding the application, you can specify several important parameters in the configuration file.
• Does CollabNet TeamForge support merge tracking?
  The Subversion repositories that are installed with CollabNet TeamForge run on Subversion 1.5, which supports merge tracking.
• What is a private IP address and what are the private IP ranges?
  Any IP address that falls specified ranges is a private IP address and is non-routable on the Internet.
• How does TeamForge deliver activity reports?
  The data in your reports comes from a special database that extracts live site data from the production database at intervals you specify. This protects the production database from excess reporting traffic, while keeping report content fresh.
• Can TeamForge password security support SAS-70 certification requirements?
  Yes. If your LDAP server supports SAS-70 password security, your site will do the same.
• What is a password ticket?
  A password ticket is a system-generated email that takes the user to a page on the site where they can set their own password. This is safer than some of the alternatives, and can help reduce the workload of adding large numbers of new users.
• What is a parent project?
  A parent project is the base from which a subproject's members, user groups and roles, with their corresponding permissions, are derived. A subproject can inherit project members, user groups and roles from its parent project.
• Can I query the CollabNet TeamForge database?
  Yes, you can query the database if you are a site administrator or have been given access to System Tools by another site administrator. You can raise a database query by using the Admin > System Tools > Ad Hoc Database Query page.
