Configure a Source Control System for Framework Manager Metadata 

To help you manage, share, and secure different versions of your metadata, you can configure Framework Manager to use a source control system.

You must already have one of the following source control system clients set up on the same computer as Framework Manager:

For more information about installing and setting up source control systems, see Repository Control in the Framework Manager User Guide.

Steps
  1. Start IBM Cognos Configuration.

  2. In the Explorer window, under Environment, right-click Source Control Systems and click New resource, Source Control System.

    Source Control System is available on Windows computers that have Framework Manager installed and on Windows or UNIX computers that have Application Tier Components installed.

  3. In the Name box, type a name for your source control system.

  4. In the Type box, select a source control system from the list.

  5. Click OK.

  6. In the Properties window, for the Source control system executable file (.exe) location property, specify the file location and name of the .exe file.

  7. From the File menu, click Save.

You can now test your installation and configuration. You can also change default settings, if required. For example, you can change a port, configure SSL protocol, configure cryptographic settings, or change the Gateway URI to use an alternate gateway.

If you upgraded from an older version of Framework Manager, you can upgrade existing projects in the new version of Framework Manager. For more information, see the Framework Manager User Guide.
