Use the silent installation feature of IBM® Installation Manager to complete new installations
of Rational® Adapter for
Git unattended. Edit a provided response file such that it contains
the commands and inputs that you want for your software installation.
Alternatively, create a response file by recording your actions in IBM Installation Manager.
Before you begin
Complete these tasks before you install the adapter software:
- Obtain the installation files. To order an electronic image, see Downloading the installation media. To order a product DVD, see ibm.com®.
- Review the deployment topology restrictions. Since the Rational Adapter for Git is
installed into the same Jazz™ Team
Server(JTS) as other CLM products, you must consider several restrictions,
see Deployment topology considerations.
- Stop the JTS server if it is running on an Apache Tomcat application
server.
