Before you begin

About this task

Perform these steps from the Rational Team Concert Server host:

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Rational Team Concert server host.
  2. Navigate to the Build Forge server and, using the appropriate URL for your version of Rational Team Concert, download the server extension to a temporary location.
    • Rational Team Concert version 1.x:
      http://<bf_console_hostname>/rtc-server/BuildForgeConnectorServer.zip
    • Rational Team Concert version 2.x:
      http://<bf_console_hostname>/rtc2-server/BuildForgeConnectorServer.zip
    • If you are running Rational Team Concert on the same system that Build Forge is running on, you can use localhost as the host name.
    • Include the port number if the console is running on a port other than 80. Example: http://myhostname:11812/clients.
  3. Extract the file contents to RTC_install/jazz/server. The following files are added if you downloaded the extension for Rational Team Concert version 1.x:
    RTC_install/jazz/server/buildforgeconnector-update-site (directory)
    RTC_install/jazz/server/provision_profiles/buildforgeconnector-profile.ini

    The following files are added if you downloaded the extension for Rational Team Concert version 2.x:
    RTC_install/jazz/server/buildforgeconnector-update-site (directory)
    RTC_install/jazz/server/conf/provision_profiles/buildforgeconnector-profile.ini

    To run the RTC server in WebSphere Application Server, you must edit the buildforgeconnector-profile.ini file to fully qualify the path to the buildforgeconnector-update-site directory.

  4. Restart the Rational Team Concert Server.

Results

The Rational Team Concert server consumes a Build Forge user license to communicate with the console.
