Setting Surround SCM configuration options

Note: If installing Surround SCM on a 64-bit system, you can choose to install 32-bit or 64-bit versions of the selected applications. See About 64-bit Surround SCM components. To add or edit Helix ALM items from the 64-bit Surround SCM Client, you must install Helix ALM (or TestTrack 2015.1 - 2016.1).

You must select a Surround SCM application directory. Linux installations also require selecting a directory for the SCMStartup.log and SCMProxyStartup.log files. You can use the default directory or select a different directory.

Additional configuration options include setting the server port number and choosing a server execution mode (Windows only).

Server execution mode (Windows only)

You can choose to run the Surround SCM Server as a service if you want the server to automatically start when the computer starts. If you run the server as an application, you must manually start the Surround SCM Server application.

Server port

The server communicates with Surround SCM clients on this port. Use the default port number (4900) or enter another number.
