Essential tasks for manual installation

Windows If you chose the manual installation method when you installed IBM® Rational® Insight Data Services, you need to perform these essential configuration tasks for the data sources.
Before you begin
Make sure the IBM Rational Insight Data Services adapters are deployed on WebSphere® Application Server 6.1.

If you have installed the adapters for Rational ClearQuest® and Rational RequisitePro®, you need the URLs of these adapters on the Rational Insight Data Services Web application. To get the URL, see the section on the general tasks for configuring the data service. If you get any firewall warnings or license errors, correct the problem before verifying the adapter. If you get an error 500 when accessing the URL for the Rational ClearQuest adapter, try opening the database in the Rational ClearQuest client.

About this task
Configure the Rational Insight Data Services profile to start automatically every time the data service server is restarted. If you have installed the adapters for Rational ClearQuest and Rational RequisitePro, create the necessary shared libraries and associate the shared libraries with the data service profile. If you have installed the adapter for Rational TestManager, register the library files.
  1. Set the Rational Insight Data Services profile to start automatically every time the data service server is restarted.
    1. Go to the MS-DOS command prompt (In Windows®, click Start > Run, enter cmd, and click OK).
    2. Navigate to the bin directory of the WebSphere Application Server instance of Rational Insight Data Services. If a new instance of WebSphere Application Server was installed automatically as a part of the installation process, this directory is C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational Insight\AppServer\.
    3. To define the system service, run the following wasservice command:
      WASService.exe -add RationalInsight -serverName RationalInsightServer -profilePath "C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational Insight\AppServer\profiles\RationalInsight" -startType automatic
      Note: To ensure that the command works properly, preserve the spaces correctly when you enter the command.

      It might take several minutes for the WebSphere Application Server profile for the data service to start. Until the data service profile starts, you might not be able to access the WebSphere administrative console and Rational Insight Data Services.

  2. If you have installed the adapters for Rational ClearQuest or Rational RequisitePro, create the shared libraries.
    1. To view the Shared Libraries page, click Environment > Shared Libraries.
    2. To specify the scope setting, select the Node=RationalInsightNode01, Server=RationalInsightServer entry. RationalInsightNode01 is the default name of the node and RationalInsightServer is the default name of the server.
    3. To create a shared library reference, click New.
    4. Enter the values for name, description and class path. For information on the values that can be entered, see the related links at the bottom of this page.
    5. Click OK and click Save.
  3. If you have installed the adapters for Rational ClearQuest or Rational RequisitePro, associate the shared libraries with the Rational Insight Data Services profile.
    1. Click Servers > Application Servers.
    2. Click the server on which you have deployed the data service. The default value is RationalInsightServer.
    3. Click Server Infrastructure > Java and Process Management > Class Loader.
    4. To create a new class loader for the shared libraries, click New > OK.
    5. To associate the shared library references with the class loader, click the new class loader.
    6. Click Shared library references.
    7. For each library that needs to be associated, click Add, select the library, and click OK.
    8. Click Save.
    9. Restart the Rational Insight Data Services profile.
  4. If you have installed the adapter for Rational TestManager, register the library files for the Rational TestManager adapter.
    1. From the DOS command prompt, go to the folder where Rational Insight Data Services is installed. By default, it is the C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational Insight\Data Services\TestManager folder.
    2. Register the RJCBRT.dll and RtcomtestserverBridge.dll files using the following commands:
      regsvr32 /s eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.xtools.rjcb.core_7.0.1.v20070111\RJCBRT.dll
      regsvr32 /s eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.rational.testmanager.rtcomtestserver_1.0.0.[datequalifier]\RtcomtestserverBridge.dll 
    3. Restart the computer.
