Lesson 1.1: Create a project area and project team

IBM® Rational® Quality Manager supports the use of multiple project areas. In this lesson, you create project and team areas; in the next lesson, you add the sample users.

To start Rational Quality Manager:

  1. Start the Rational Quality Manager server:
    1. In Windows®, click Start > All Programs > IBM Rational Quality Manager > Start IBM Rational Quality Manager Server.
    2. In Linux®, click Applications > IBM Rational Quality Manager > Start IBM Rational Quality Manager Server.
    Note: You know that the server is running when the message, INFO: Server startup, is displayed in the server log window.
  2. When the server is running, open Rational Quality Manager in a browser:
    1. In Windows, click Start > All Programs > IBM Rational Quality Manager > IBM Rational Quality Manager.
    2. In Linux, click Applications > IBM Rational Quality Manager > IBM Rational Quality Manager.
  3. Log in as the administrator when prompted with the login dialog box. If this is your first time logging in, use Userid: ADMIN, Password: ADMIN.
    Note: User IDs and passwords are case-sensitive.
  4. If this is your first time logging in, you must go through the setup process; otherwise, skip this step:
    1. Click Server Setup Wizard.
    2. On the Jazz Team Server Setup page, click Fast Path Setup. The Setup User Registry form displays.
    3. In Step 5.1, ensure that Tomcat User Database is selected for the type of user registry.
    4. It is recommended that you create an administrator account and disable the default. In Step 5.2, create an administrator account. For example:
      • User ID: RQMADMIN
      • Name: Administrator
      • Password: RQMPW
      • Re-type Password: RQMPW
      • E-mail Address: admin@your_company.com
    5. In Step 5.3, ensure that Disable default ADMIN access is selected.
    6. In Step 5.4, select Rational Quality Manager - Quality Manager and Rational Quality Manager - Test Lab Manager.
    7. Click Next.
    8. In the Create Project Area page, ensure that Create the default Project Area for Rational Quality Manager is selected, and click Next.
    9. After the setup completes, click Finish. The administrator's dashboard opens.
  5. The next step is to create a separate project area for the tutorial. To create a sample project area:
    1. In the upper, right corner of the page, click Admin > Jazz Project Administration. The Active Project Areas page opens, displaying the default project, Quality Manager.
    2. Click Create Project Area.
    3. Replace Project Name with your project name, such as RQM Sample.
    4. Optional: Add a summary and description.
    5. In the Process section, leave the default as Quality Manager Default Process.
    6. Click Save. The message, Project area created successfully, is displayed at the top of the page.
In addition to creating a project area, a default team area is automatically created under the Team Area Hierarchy section. In the next lesson, you continue as the administrator and add the sample users.
