AccuRev Web Interface
User's Guide
Version 2009.1
April, 2009
The AccuRev Web Interface (Web GUI) provides a convenient way to view information from the AccuRev repository. Using the Web GUI, you can perform the following tasks:
compare element versions
view element history
create and remove streams
view, copy, and promote files in a stream
create, browse, edit, and run AccuWork queries
view and edit AccuWork issues
view a list of active issues, files, or transactions for a stream
view a change package associated with an issue
The Web GUI only interacts with data from the AccuRev Server. Data from user workspaces which has not been kept or promoted will not be visible from the Web GUI.
To access the Web GUI, navigate to its location in your browser (usually http://<servername>:<port>/accurev). You will need to obtain the specific URL from your system administrator. The Web GUI requires Internet Explorer (version 6 or later) or Firefox (1.5.0 or later) to run.
Once you have logged in to the Web GUI, do not use the browser's controls to navigate elsewhere or reload the page. These actions will end the session, and you will have to log in again.
You can switch to other application windows, or open or close other browser tabs and windows, without affecting the status of the Web GUI.
When you first visit the Web GUI, the Login to AccuRev Server dialog appears. Only registered AccuRev users can access AccuRev data; therefore you must log in before doing anything else.
To log in, enter your AccuRev user name and password and click Ok.
Note: If you need to access a different server, contact the Web GUI system administrator for assistance.
Once you log in, the Web GUI displays. No tabs are visible; choose an action from the toolbar to view or open streams or issues. The status bar at the bottom of the window contains information on which AccuRev server and depot (if any) you are currently accessing.
To open a stream and view its contents in the File Browser, use the Look up Stream command on the Web GUI toolbar.
Other views in the Web GUI include the Diff Tool, the Annotate Tool, the History Browser, the Query Browser, and the Issue Edit form.
The Web GUI toolbar at the top of the page contains general AccuRev commands:
Look up Stream -- Displays the Look up Stream dialog.
Issue Queries -- Displays the Query Browser.
New Issue -- Creates a new AccuWork issue.
Look up Issue -- Opens an existing AccuWork issue.
Refresh -- Refreshes the information shown in the active tab to reflect recent AccuRev activity.
Login -- Displays the Login dialog.
Logout -- Logs out the current user.
(Help) -- Displays the online help in a Web browser tab.
