Registering Gerrit servers

The Gerrit server must be registered with the Rational® Adapter for Git

Before you begin

Make sure the Rational Adapter for Git Gerrit additions are deployed to the Gerrit server.

About this task

Register the Gerrit server to make it known to the Rational Adapter for Git so that it can be recognized by Gerrit projects.

Procedure

  1. Point your web browser to the Gerrit home page; for example http://our.gerrit.server/gerrit

    The Rational Adapter for Git banner shows. This is one of the Gerrit additions that you deployed to the Gerrit server.

  3. Confirm that the Rational Adapter for Git URL matches the Gerrit server name, for example http://our.gerrit.server/gerrit
  4. Confirm that Type is Gerrit.
  5. Click Save.
  6. The Gerrit server is now registered with the Rational Adapter for Git. The Git Server Connection page is now displayed. An information message displays that directs you to further instructions to take the logical adapter URI and update the same variable in the ./static/oslcConfig.js file. Complete the steps as instructed.
    Important: The first step shown is incorrect. The first step is to find the installation location of the Gerrit server.
