You can create a library that is accessible in both IBM® Rational® Publishing Engine and IBM Rational RequisitePro® and
associate the shared libraries with the data services profile.
About this task
The general tasks for configuring Rational
Rational RequisitePro adapter
are:
- Creating a shared library for the Rational RequisitePro adapter.
- Associating RequisitePro shared libraries with the data service
profile.
Procedure
- To create a shared library for the Rational RequisitePro adapter:
- Click to view the
shared libraries page.
- Specify the scope setting, select the Node=RationalPublishingEngineNode01,
Server=RationalPublishingEngineServer entry. These
are the default names of the node and the server.
- To create the shared library reference, click New.
- Set the values for Name, Description, and ClassPath
as the following. Make sure that your classpath refers to the files
in their correct locations.
Titles |
Description |
Name |
RequisitePro RJCB |
Description |
The shared library for the RequisitePro adapter. |
ClassPath |
C:\Program Files\IBM Rational\RequisitePro\lib\proxies.jar
C:\Program
Files\IBM Rational\common\RJCB.jar
|
Note: The default values listed under substep (d) are
for the Rational RequisitePro 7.0
and 7.0.1. The actual paths used for the classpath entries depend
on where Rational RequisitePro is
installed. Make sure that your classpath refers to the files in their
correct locations. To see the installation location for version 7.1,
open IBM Installation Manager
by clicking .
- Click OK, and then click Save. The shared library is created.
- To associate RequisitePro shared libraries with the data
services profile:
- Click .
- Click the server on which you have deployed the data
services. The default value is RationalPublishingEngineServer.
- Click .
- To create a new class loader for the shared libraries,
click .
- To associate the shared library references with the
class loader, click the hyperlink of the new class loader created
in substep (d).
- Click Shared library references.
- For each library that needs to be associated, click Add,
select the library, and then click OK.
- Click Save.
- Restart the DataServices profile.
- Verify that the Rational RequisitePro adapter
is installed correctly:
- Open a web browser.
- Enter the URL of the Rational RequisitePro adapter
in the address bar of the browser. By default, the URL is http://host:port/DataServices/RequisitePro.
Note: You can find out the port number from the administrative
console. If the installation is correct, you see an XML document that
lists the schema repositories that are registered with the Rational RequisitePro administration
tool.
What to do next
You must create an entry for each RequisitePro project in
catalog.txt,
which can be located in
installation_directory\RequisitePro\ReqWeb\projects.
Use a full path for projects on the local server and a UNC (Universal
Naming Convention) path to the shared folder containing the
.rqs file.
