After you install IBM® Rational® Build Forge® version 7.0.2 iFix2 or higher, you must edit the buildforge.conf file in the Rational Build Forge installation folder
so that IBM Rational Quality
Manager can
receive lab resource data from Rational Build Forge.
The function that this topic describes might
not be available, depending on how lab management permissions and
client access licenses have been defined for your user account. You must install
Rational Build Forge version 7.0.2 (which
is available with the installation package of
Rational Quality Manager),
and iFix2 from this URL:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24019771, before you can perform these steps.
To edit the buildforge.conf file:
- In the local Rational Build Forge installation folder,
open the buildforge.conf file in a text editor. An example of the
location of the Rational Build Forge installation folder
is c:\program files\ibm\buildforge.
- In the buildforge.conf file, add the string db_system_password
password (include a space between db_system_password and password),
where password is a password to use to connect Rational Build Forge with Rational Quality Manager. The following example shows how to set stage1 as
the password to use: db_system_password stage1.
Keep track of this password, as you will need it when you configure Rational Quality Manager to connect with Rational Build Forge.
- Save the file.
- If you have installed Rational Build Forge on the same server
as Rational Quality Manager, perform these steps:
- In the Rational Build Forge installation folder,
open ..\apache\tomcat\conf\server.xml in a text
editor.
- Find the string <server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">.
- Change the server port number from 8005 to 8007.
If
Rational Build Forge is running, stop
and then restart it to enable these changes.
Note: Copy the buildforge.conf
file to another location as a backup, so that you can retrieve your
updates to this file if you upgrade to a later version of Rational Build Forge and the file is
overwritten.
