Install the Rational Rhapsody Design Management Server v5.0

Once you have downloaded the Design Management packages from Jazz™.net, use the launch pad to install the IBM® Installation Manager and then install Design Management.

Installing the Rhapsody Design Management server

Download the Design Management package from Design Management on Jazz.net. On the All Downloads page, select IBM Rational® Rhapsody® Design Manager - All (Rhapsody-DM-All.zip)

Follow the instructions outlined in the Rational Rhapsody Design Manager installation guide: Installing and configuring Design Management

Note: To avoid issues during Rhapsody Design Manager setup, ensure that the Configuration Management application (/vvc) setup has been completed before you set up Rhapsody Design Manager.

Once you have installed the server, follow the instructions for setting up the database, noting that only Derby, DB2® and Oracle are supported in the Rational solution for systems and software engineering, and configuring the server using the custom setup.

Once the server is installed, you can install the optional tools and extensions as described here: Installing Rational Rhapsody components. There are two extensions to Design Management which are recommended:

When the installation and configuration is complete, it is strongly recommended that you read the Design Management integrations section of the Design Management documentation to understand how the Design Management server integrates with other products on the Jazz Team Server as well as Rational DOORS®. The actual integration steps are described in Configuring friending and OSLC consumers.

Restriction: The Money that Matters Lifecycle Scenario is designed to work with IBM Rational Software Architect Design Management Server, not Rhapsody Design Manager. If Rhapsody Design Manager is registered with the Jazz Team Server during the "Register Applications" step, then Rhapsody Design Manager is automatically contributed and Money that Matters sample creation fails. Using the web UI you can manually deselect Design Manager from the list of applications contributing to the sample.
