Axosoft Extension

The Axosoft extension provides issue tracking integration with Axosoft OnTime 10 and later.

Prerequisites

You must have an OnTime server configured and working on your network, and the OnTime SDK installed and properly configured to allow remote web service calls.

Generating a Security Token

If you have not already done so, you will need to generate a Security Token for OnTime. Open the web.config file in the root folder of wherever you have installed the OnTime SDK, and find the <appSettings> section. In this section, you should see a SecurityToken key:

<add key="SecurityToken" value="SECURITY-TOKEN-GUID"/>

You will need to generate a GUID to use as the security token. When pasting it, make sure you don't include the {} characters. Also note that this element is commented out by default; make sure you uncomment it.

Creating an Issue Tracking Provider in BuildMaster

Now you are ready to create an OnTime Issue Tracking Provider in BuildMaster. When adding the provider, you will be presented with some OnTime-specific configuration options:

You must specify the OnTime web service URL and the security token. The web service URL is simply the root virtual directory where the OnTime SDK web service has been installed in IIS on your OnTime server. The security token is the GUID that was added to the OnTime SDK's web.config file.

The OnTime Web URL field is optional – it is simply the URL of OnTime's web interface which BuildMaster will use to hyperlink OnTime defect and features.

If everything has been configured properly, clicking Test Connection should display a connection successful indicator. If there is a problem reaching the web service, verify that the web service URL is correct by pointing to it with your browser or checking out the IIS administration console on your OnTime server.
