You can customize the contents of the home page that appears when you log on to Rational ClearQuest Web.

Before you begin

The following variables are used in path names in this topic:
RATIONAL_COMMON
Directory where Rational common files are installed
yourHomePage.html
Your customized HTML home page

Procedure

  1. In the Rational ClearQuest Web application banner, click Site Administration > Configuration.
  2. On the Application Options tab of the Site Configuration dialog box, type the Web address of your customized HTML home page in the Home Page field. Use the following format:
    On Windows:
    drive:%RATIONAL_COMMON%\CM\profiles\cmprofile\installedApps\dfltCell\TeamEAR.ear\CQWebModule.war\yourHomePage.html
    On the UNIX system and Linux:
    $RATIONAL_COMMON/CM/profiles/cmprofile/installedApps/dfltCell/TeamEAR.ear/CQWebModule.war/yourHomePage.html
    On Windows, the UNIX system, and Linux:
    Alternatively, specify your customized home page as a relative Web address. Here are several examples:
    /yourHomePage.html
    
    /yourCompanyFolder/yourHomePage.html
    
    /yourCompanyFolder/aSubfolder/yourHomePage.html
    Attention: In your customized home page, you must specify any links to image or HTML files relative to the virtual folder cqweb. For example:
    <img src=/cqweb/yourCompanyFolder/yourCompanyLogo.jpeg>
    
    <a href=/cqweb/anotherPage.html>
    
    <a href=/cqweb/yourCompanyFolder/anotherPage.html>

Results

After making this change, the home page displays your customized content. You do not need to restart the server or the Web application.
