Consider deploying the adapters on the systems where the products you want to report on are installed. If you do not have an application server on which to deploy Rational Insight Data Services, you can use the Rational Insight Data Services installation program to install IBM WebSphere® Application Server, and deploy the Rational Insight Data Services adapters to IBM WebSphere Application Server
Rational Insight includes adapters that support:
You can install more than one adapter on the same Rational Insight Data Services server; however, there might be performance issues with the server if more than one adapter is installed on it. If you plan to install more than one adapter on a server, coordinate the ETL collection times so that the system is not overloaded. For details about ETL customization, see the IBM Cognos® Data Manager documentation.
If more than one Rational product is installed on a system, all products must have the same version. For example, if you have an application server for Rational ClearQuest 7.1 data, you can use the same system to install the 7.1 clients of Rational ClearCase and Rational RequisitePro, but not a 7.0 version of Rational ClearCase or Rational RequisitePro.
The following tables show the configuration for deploying the Rational Insight Data Services adapters.
Rational product | Existing scenario | Systems for installing the Rational ClearQuest adapter |
---|---|---|
ClearQuest 7.0, 7.0.1 | All cases | A new system to be configured as the Rational Insight
Data Services server,
with Rational ClearQuest 7.1 installed. For optimum performance, the Rational ClearQuest adapter should be on the same local area network as the Rational ClearQuest database. |
ClearQuest 7.1 | ClearQuest Web is not installed | Any supported operating system, with Rational ClearQuest 7.1 installed. Either of the
following systems can be used as the server:
For optimum performance, the Rational ClearQuest adapter should be on the same local area network as the Rational ClearQuest database. |
ClearQuest 7.1 | ClearQuest Web is installed | Either of the following options:
For optimum performance, the Rational ClearQuest adapter should be on the same local area network as the Rational ClearQuest database. |
Rational product | Existing scenario | Systems for installing the Rational ClearCase adapter |
---|---|---|
ClearCase 7.0, 7.0.1 | All cases | The same system where the Rational ClearCase command line tool (cleartool) is deployed. During the installation of Rational Insight Data Services, a new WebSphere Application Server instance must be created for deploying Rational Insight Data Services. |
ClearCase 7.1 | ClearCase Remote Client is not installed | A new system to be configured as the Rational Insight Data Services server, with the current version of Rational ClearCase installed. |
ClearCase 7.1 | ClearCase Remote Client is installed | The same WebSphere Application Server where Rational ClearCase Remote Client is installed. |
Rational product | Existing scenario | Systems for installing the Rational RequisitePro adapter |
---|---|---|
RequisitePro 7.0, 7.0.1 | All cases | An existing system with Rational RequisitePro, with a new WebSphere Application Server instance. |
RequisitePro 7.1 | RequisiteWeb is not installed | Either of the following options:
|
RequisitePro 7.1 | RequisiteWeb is installed | Either of the following options:
|
Rational product | Existing scenario | Systems for installing the Rational TestManager adapter |
---|---|---|
TestManager 7.0.1, 7.0.2 | All cases | Either of the following options:
|
