Rational Programming Patterns

Testing the installation

Before you can work with the new products, you must ensure that the installation was successful.

Procedure

  1. At the end of each product installation, you must ensure that no error has occurred. This verification step is indicated in this document for each installation.
  2. Verify that all the products of the client part are installed in the same package group and that all the products of the server part are installed in the same package group (different from the package group of the client part).

    To do so, start IBM® Installation Manager by selecting Start > All programs > IBM Installation Manager > View installed packages. You must see the package group that contains Rational® Programming Patterns V9.0 client. Verify that this group also contains the packages of the required products.

    Do the same for the server part.

  3. Start Rational Programming Patterns. The Pattern Driven Programming perspective is automatically displayed.
    1. From the Design Explorer view, create a location (similar to a VisualAge® Pacbase database). Right-click and select New > Location. Name this location and click Finish.
    2. Create a Library. It contains the generation parameters of each instance.
      1. Right-click the location and select New > Pac Library.
      2. Enter the following information in the Library creation wizard:
        • Indicate a project name.
        • Leave the package to blank.
        • Enter the Library name on three characters.
        • Enter the Library label.
      3. Click Finish.
    3. Create a Data Element.
      1. Right-click the location and select New > Pac Data Element.
      2. Enter the following information in the Data Element creation wizard:
        • Leave the default project. This project is the project in which you created the Library.
        • Leave the package to blank.
        • Enter the Data Element name on six characters maximum.
        • Leave the Parent Data Element to blank.
        • Enter the Data Element format (X for example).
        • Click Browse in the Generation parameters field. Select the created Library.
        • Enter the Data Element label.
      3. Click Finish.
  4. Create a connection to the Rational Team Concert™ server that will store all the artifacts of your applications. These steps are explained in Integrating with Rational Team Concert.
    1. Start Jazz™ Team Server.
    2. Create a repository connection from the Team Artifacts view of the Work Items perspective.
    3. Connect to the project area created upon the integration.
    4. From the project area, verify that three language definitions were created upon the integration. Expand Enterprise Extensions > System Definitions > z/OS > Language Definitions, Each of these new language definitions must be exclusively associated with one of the following scanners:
      • RPP Design Scanner
      • RPP DesignPath Scanner
      • RPP Generated File Scanner
  5. In the project area, create a stream on the server by right-clicking Source Code Data and by selecting New > Stream. Save.
  6. Create a repository workspace from this stream by selecting New > Repository workspace. You can optionally modify the default name. Then, click Finish.
  7. Share the project in which you created the Library and the Data Element.
    1. In the Design Explorer view of the Pattern Driven Programming perspective, right-click the project and select Team > Share project.
    2. Select the repository type (Jazz Source Control) and click Next.
    3. Select the repository workspace and create a component by clicking New component. Its name usually corresponds to the Library name on three characters.
    4. Select the component.
    5. Start sharing the project by clicking Finish.
  8. Upload the new Library and Data Element to the Rational Team Concert server.
    1. Open the Pending changes view.
    2. Expand the component line and expand the Outgoing > Share projects line. The two new instances must be displayed under the project indicated in their creation wizards.
    3. Select the line Share projects. Right-click and select Deliver. The changes are then uploaded to the server.
  9. Verify that the upload completed successfully and that the two instances are now on the server.

    In the Team Artifacts view of the Work Items perspective, expand your project area. Verify that the component is in the stream by expanding Source control. Display the repository files by right-clicking the component and selecting Show > Repository files. The Library and the Data Element must be displayed in the Repository files view.

  10. Verify that the server indexing processed by the Rational Programming Patterns scanners is active.
    1. In the Team Artifacts view of the Work Items perspective, start an incremental update of the indexes. Expand Enterprise Extensions > Source code data. Right-click and select Update Source code data.
    2. Start a server search on the Rational Programming Patterns artifacts to extract the two instances that were previously uploaded to the server.
