Rational ProjectConsole
Maintenance Tool Help
To create or copy a Rational ProjectConsole
repository, you start by selecting an existing repository to either copy or
use to initialize a new warehouse. In addition, you must provide information
about the databases that will be used to organize and store the data Rational ProjectConsole
collects.
Note: Before you can create a repository or copy an existing
repository, you must first create the empty databases (the schema repository
and warehouse databases) that are to store the copied data. The database requirements
and preparation for Rational ProjectConsole
are identical to those for Rational ClearQuest.
For information about how to create these databases, see the section "Configuring
vendor databases" in the IBM Rational ProjectConsole Installation and
Upgrade Guide.
When you use the Maintenance Tool to create or copy a
repository, Rational ProjectConsole
performs the following actions:
- Creates a new folder in the ...\Program Files\Rational\ProjectConsole\DataRepository
directory
- Copies the security database, the start.htm file
(start page), and images folder from the source repository
into the new repository
- Automatically configures the Rational ProjectConsole
servers to use the new security database
- Copies the start.htm and images folder
to the ...\Program Files \Rational\Common\rwp\webapps\projectconsole\pjc directory
(from which they are served)
-
Restarts the Rational Web
Platform (RWP) Web server and servlet engines
Any time you use the Maintenance Tool to connect to a
different repository, Rational ProjectConsole
repeats these steps, resetting the security database and copying the start
page and images folder.
Note: After you copy an existing repository, the Dashboard
connection, which previously pointed to the source master database, points
to the target master database.
