Description Provides some admin utilities for the Teamstudio CIAO / Build Manager applications In Catalog
No


First off - this application has no affiliation with Teamstudio what so ever.

Basically I wrote this to to provide a way of managing the projects a little better than the CIAO / Build Manager applications do.

1. Rename a project - renames the project for the CIAO config document and all associated log entries.
2. Rename a database - renames the database title and all associate log entries.
3. Delete a project and all associated log entries.

If I or Matt get the time ...
1. Provide a way to delete the project, log entries and the log database.
2. Ability to select a project and move all the log entries to a new log - useful if logs become too large.
3. A scheduled check (and update? ) on the DBID to ensure the DBID is current.
4. An audit option for build manager... audit promotion documents, paths checking for file names, promotion location, refresh options. It won't allow admins to force settings but could at least audit settings to avoid 'abuse' by people.
5. A log reporting facility to collate logs and provide more analysis that is currently available.

This has only been tested on one CIAO/Build Manager install - which is all I can really do. So try it on a test project first before running it against you latest project :-)

There is a Win32 progress bar used so it won't work on Linux - might fix that as well.


Projects can have short and readable URLs, e.g. http://mobilecontrols.openntf.org.

You can request a short URL to your project by sending a mail to support at openntf dot org. Put the word 'OpenNTF' somewhere in the subject.
Owners are the people with maximal rights. For example they can create releases and add more contributors.

In order to define multiple owners use "," (comma) as separator.

Because of data privacy you cannot lookup other people's names but you have to type them in.
Enter the contributors or owners here who you want to receive notifications and questions by email.

In order to define multiple owners use "," (comma) as separator.

In addition to the owners additional OpenNTF contributors have to be listed here. Contributors don't have the same access rights as owners, e.g. they cannot create releases.

In order to define multiple owners use "," (comma) as separator.

Enter a short description of the project here (up to 100 characters).

The short description shows up in the project UI and in some of the views.
In this field you should enter a more detailed description of your project.

You can use the rich text editor for rich text formating. You can also enter HTML to embed objects, e.g. to embed a YouTube video or a screenshot of the project. In this case use '[' and ']' to mark the passthrough HTML as such.

Please note that the first time you use the new UI your description is converted from rich text to MIME. You might want to copy and paste the raw plain text from the old UI in the new UI so that you don't loose information.
A Catalog Release is for projects that are production ready and that are end-user "install friendly".
