After installing IBM Websphere components, you must use
the WebSphere Customization Toolbox to configure a web server plug-in
for Rational ClearCase or ClearQuest version 8.0.0.1 or later for
WebSphere Application Server and IBM HTTP Server version 8. The web
server plug-in enables request routing from the ClearCase or ClearQuest
Web server through IBM HTTP Server to the WebSphere Application Server.
Before you begin
Before configuring a web server plug-in, the following software
must be installed.
- WebSphere Application Server V8
- WebSphere Customization Toolbox V8
- WebSphere Plug-ins V8
- IBM HTTP Server V8
About this task
Complete this procedure before you install ClearCase or
ClearQuest. During the configuration process, you must provide the
IP address for the WebSphere Application Server host.
Procedure
- Open the WebSphere Customization Toolbox (WCT).
- Windows: Click
- UNIX/Linux: Run the script at /opt/IBM/WebSphere/Toolbox/WCT/wct.sh
- In the top list box, add the location of the Web Server
plug-in if it is not already listed.
- Click Add.
- On the Add Web Server Plug-in Location,
type a name for the location of the WebSphere Application Server plug-in.
Then, click Browse to select the directory
where the plug-in is located.
- Windows: WASplugin, C:\IBM\WebSphere\Plugins.
- UNIX/Linux: WASplugin, /opt/IBM/WebSphere
- Create the web server plug-in configuration file.
- In the second list box on the Web Server Plug-in
Configurations tab, click Create .
- On the Web Server Selection panel,
click IBM HTTP Server V8. Then, click Next.
- On the Web Server Configuration File Selection panel,
select the existing IBM HTTP Server httpd.conf file.
- Windows: C:\IBM\HTTPServer\conf\httpd.conf.
- UNIX/Linux: /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/conf/httpd.conf
- Verify that the web server port is correct. Port
80 is the default and recommended port. If prompted, select
the architecture of your IBM HTTP Server web server, 64 bit or 32
bit.
- Click Next.
- On the Setup IBM HTTP Server Administration Server, remove
the selection from the Setup IBM HTTP Server Administration
Server check box. Then, click Next.
- Complete the plug-in configuration process.
- On the Configuration Scenario Selection panel,
click (Remote) Host name or IP address of the application
server. Then, type the IP address of the WebSphere Application
Server that you are configuring the web server plug-in for.
- Click Next.
- On the plug-in Configuration Summary, review the values
that you specified for the configuration process. Then, click Configure. When the configuration process completes, the Plug-in
Configuration Result panel is displayed. If any errors
occurred, correct them and restart the configuration process.
Results
After you complete the web server plug-in configuration, the
IBM HTTP Server is prepared to route HTTP client requests from the
IBM HTTP Server to the web applications deployed on the WebSphere
Application Server.
What to do next
Install ClearCase or ClearQuest web server components. After
the components are installed, users will be able to access the servers
by using the following URLs.
- CCRC WAN Server: http://server/ccrc
- ClearQuest Web Server:http://server/cqweb
