FogBUGZ

Vault Standard supports integration with FogBUGZ, a web-based, bug-tracking product developed by Fog Creek Software.( fogcreek.com/FogBUGZ)

FogBUGZ must first be configured to communicate with Vault. To do this, you must have admin rights for both Vault and FogBUGZ. For more information, see the Vault Admin Web Client documentation.

Once FogBUGZ and Vault have been configured, you can associate a file in Vault with a case in FogBUGZ.

Note

In FogBUGZ, a bug is referred to as a case.

Updating a Case

The Vault Check In/Commit dialog allows you to associate a Vault file with a FogBUGZ case during the check in process. Type the case number in the Update Bugs box. When the commit has been completed, the Vault file name and path will appear in the FogBUGZ case detail page.

Viewing a Case

In FogBUGZ, go to the detail page of a selected case.

A list of all the files that have been associated to the case through Vault’s check in process will appear next to the CheckIn label. This list includes:

  • The Vault Repository ID

  • The path to the associated file

  • The version of the file.

Click on the file to view the Vault History page.

Vault History

The Vault History page gives you a detail history of the selected file on the case detail page. The page shows the following information for each check in operation completed:

  • The user who committed the change

  • The version of the file created

  • The action that was performed

  • Any comment the user may have entered as part of the commit

On the first attempt to see the history page during a FogBUGZ session, you will be asked for a username and password. Upon success of the login, you will be presented with the Vault History page.

Vault Diff

The Vault Diff page shows you the diff between the selected file and the previous version.

Note

Diff must first be configured on the FogBUGZ Site Configuration screen. To do this, you must have admin rights for both Vault and FogBUGZ. For more information, see the Vault Admin Web Client documentation.

Click the link showing the version number of the file. The diff window will appear and display a side by side comparison of the two versions of the file, in a manner similar to the current diff application in Vault. Line numbers are displayed for each line of the file, modified lines are colored red, added lines green, and deleted lines blue.
