Automatic installation of Rational Insight Data Services

Windows With the IBM® Rational® Insight Data Services installer, you can install IBM WebSphere® Application Server 6.1.0.21 and then install the adapters for the data sources such as IBM Rational ClearCase® and IBM Rational ClearQuest®. If you want to, you can install the adapters on an existing instance of WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.21.
About this task
The installer installs a new instance of IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.21 and then installs the adapters for Rational Insight Data Services.
Note: If you have more than one system that hosts the products you want to report on, you must repeat these steps for each system.
  1. Start the launchpad.exe file.
  2. Read the release information and ensure you have read the installation document.
  3. To begin the installation, click Install IBM Rational Insight Data Services. Select Rational Insight Data Services, and click Next.
  4. Read the license agreements and if you accept, click I accept the terms in the license agreement, and click Next.
  5. Select Create a new package group, and click Next. By default, the files are placed in the C:/Program Files/IBM/Rational Insight directory.
  6. Select the adapters you want to install, and click Next.
  7. In the Select an application server list:
    • If you want to deploy the data service to a new instance of WebSphere Application Server, select New installation of WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.21.
    • If you want to deploy the data service to an existing instance of WebSphere Application Server, select Existing instance of WebSphere Application Server 6.1.x.
    Click Next.
  8. For each of the selected adapters, specify the location of the product data and click Next. Because Rational Insight Data Services needs to be installed on all the systems where the product data resides, you might need to specify the location for only one adapter during one installation cycle.
  9. Click Install.
  10. When the installation is over, click Finish.
  11. Stop the server.
    • If the command to stop the server is available in the Start menu, click Start > Programs > IBM WebSphere > Application Server V6.1 > Profiles > RationalInsight > Stop Server.
    • If the Start menu does not contain the command, at the command line, run the stopServer.bat script through the following command:
      [rational_insight_installation_directory]\AppServer\bin\stopServer.bat RationalInsightServer -profileName RationalInsight
  12. Use the Windows® service to start the server. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, right-click IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.1 - IBM Rational Insight, and click Start.
Results
To confirm that the data service application is running, open a Web browser and in the address bar, type http://localhost:port/DataServices/, where port is the WAS instance port for HTTP. If Rational Insight Data Services is working correctly, you see an XML document describing each of the installed adapters. If you installed a new instance of WebSphere Application Server and the default WebSphere Application Server port was used, the URL is http://localhost:9080/DataServices/.
