Adding an SCM TFS Instance to the Code Insight Project

The following procedure describes how to add an SCM TFS instance to the Code Insight project.

To configure an SCM TFS instance, do the following:

1.

Use the instructions in Adding an SCM Instance to the Code Insight Project to navigate to the Version Control Settings tab.

2.

On the tab, select TFS from the Application dropdown list.

3.

Click Add Instance.

4.

Define the SCM TFS instance, referring to Fields Used to Configure an SCM TFS Instance for a description of the instance settings. Alternatively, use the inline help provided for each field on the tab.

5.

Once you have completed the fields, click Test Connection to determine whether the instance can connect to the repository URL listed. If the connection is successful, a success message is displayed in the top-right corner of the screen.

If the connection is unsuccessful, an error popup is displayed, briefly explaining the error. You can edit the fields as needed and test the connection again.

6.

Once you have successfully set up the connection in the SCM TFS instance, click Add Instance to create another SCM TFS instance. Alternatively, select a different repository type from the Application dropdown list to create SCM instances of that type.

7.

As a best practice, after you configured and tested the SCM instances for the project, click Sync Now to ensure that the codebases across all SCM instances for the project are properly synchronized to the Scan Server. See Synchronizing an SCM Instance for more information.

8.

Click Save to save the changes across all SCM instances to the Code Insight database.
