You can start the Dashboard server with default parameters or with custom parameters.
In the installation directory, open the dashboard folder.
In this folder, start the dashboardserver.
If you start the server without any arguments, it will use the properties file dashboardserver.properties from its current working directory. You can see this properties file in the same folder as the dashboardserver on Windows and Linux, and in the folder:
dashboard/dashboardserver.app/Contents/MacOS
on Mac systems.
You can, alternatively, specify a different properties file using -c <PROPERTIES_FILE>. Keep in mind that on Mac systems you cannot use a variable (e.g.$HOME) after --args in the path of the properties file when you try to start the dashboardserver from the command line via the “open” command.
The properties file must contain the following properties with the values you require for them (do not use line breaks within the properties in the properties file):
org.eclipse.jubula.dashboard. port=<PORTNUMBER> org.eclipse.jubula.dashboard. jdbc_driver=<JDBC_DRIVER> org.eclipse.jubula.dashboard. jdbc_url=<JDBC_URL> org.eclipse.jubula.dashboard. database_username=<DB_USERNAME> org.eclipse.jubula.dashboard. database_password=<DB_PASSWORD>
Once the Dashboard server has started, users will be able to connect to it via the web application (Section 3.24.5, “Connecting to the Dashboard in the browser”).
