Testing an SCM Instance Connection

If you add an SCM instance or edit any of the fields that define an existing instance, you should test the connection to the remote repository to ensure the repository is responsive.

To test your connection, do the following:

1.

Navigate to the Summary tab for the project for which you synchronizing remote codebase files to the Scan Server.

2.

From the Manage Project menu, select Edit Project. The Edit Project page opens.

3.

Select the Version Control Settings tab.

4.

Select the Instance tab for the connection you want to test.

5.

Click Test Connection to confirm that Code Insight can connect to the repository. If the connection is successful, Code Insight displays a success message in the upper right corner.

If the connection is not successful, an error popup is displayed, describing the error. You can edit the instance properties as needed and click Test Connection again.
