You can configure this response file by specifying your preferences.

Post-installation tasks

Setting up the databases

If you installed IBM Rational Project Conductor into an existing package group, you must upgrade the existing repository to include the Rational Project Conductor database schema.

Setting up a DB2 database

Before you begin

You must complete the following prerequisite tasks before you can configure DB2.

• Review the DB2 documentation to verify that your system meets the requirements and is configured correctly.
• Install DB2 on a machine that is the database server. DB2 and the Jazz Team Server can be installed on separate machines.
• Verify that you have system administrator permissions for the DB2 database.
  Tip:
  On Linux, to get system administrator permissions for the database, run the command sudo db2fenc1 (db2fenc1 is the DB2 user), and at the command prompt, type bash.

About this task

To set up a DB2 database:

1. Create the database in the DB2 Command Window. The example commands create a database called JAZZ. These commands run in the DB2 Command Window. The Command Window can be opened from the Start menu under the DB2 Command Line Tools menu.
   • On Windows:

     db2 create database JAZZ on c: using codeset UTF-8 territory en PAGESIZE 8192

   • On Linux:

     db2 create database JAZZ using codeset UTF-8 territory en PAGESIZE 8192

   Note:

   To ensure proper handling of Unicode content, the database character set must be UTF-8 encoding. Because the AUDITABLE_LINKS table does not fit in the default page size of 4 K on Windows, set the page size to at least 8 K.

   If the database is not running, use the command db2start to start DB2.

2. Locate the file teamserver.properties in the directory JazzInstallDir/server/conf/jazz and rename it to teamserver.derby.properties.
3. Locate the file teamserver.db2.properties in the directory JazzInstallDir/server/conf/jazz and rename it to teamserver.properties.
4. Specify the database and connection details in the file teamserver.properties.

   The default connection specification connects to a DB2 database that runs on localhost on port 50000. The database is called JAZZ, and both the user name and password are db2admin. If the default values were used when setting up your database, the teamserver.properties file might already be configured correctly. If not, change this information to match your configuration.

   1. Open the file teamserver.properties in a text editor.
   2. Locate the following lines:

      com.ibm.team.repository.db.vendor = DB2
      com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location=//localhost:50000/JAZZ:user=db2admin;password={password};
      com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.password=db2admin

   3. Edit the value of com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location for your DB2 server and database.
      Tip:
      In the DB2 Command Window, run the command db2 get dbm cfg, then find the line that contains SVCENAME, which indicates the DB2 port name or number. If this command displays a number, use it as the port number (in place of 50000 in the example above). If the command returns a non-numeric name, determine what port number was assigned for this name and use that port number. On Linux, the file /etc/services contains the mapping between port names and numbers,. and on Windows, the file C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\services contains the mapping. For more information, ask your database administrator or consult the database documentation.
      Note:
      The DB2 user must have permissions to create tables, tablespaces, and modify the database configuration. DB2 users are created by the operating system.
   4. Specify the user password in the property com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.password.
      Note:
      Do not change the password={password} text in the com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location property.
   5. If necessary, change the property com.ibm.team.repository.db.db2.content.tablespace.location to a path on your Jazz Team Server where the main table space can be created.
      Note:
      If this value is not changed from the default of content_tablespace, the table space is created under the database storage location. On Windows, if a new path is specified, it must be specified by using double backslashes, for example: com.ibm.team.repository.db.db2.content.tablespace.location=c:\\db2\\jazz\\content_tablespace.

What to do next

You have finished setting up your database and can continue with Creating database tables.

Alternatively, return to the Installation roadmaps to review the next steps in the installation.

Setting up an Oracle database

Before you begin

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met. Consult your Oracle documentation or an Oracle database administrator (DBA) for help.

• Oracle is installed on a machine to be used as the database server. This machine can be a different one from that on which the Jazz Team Server runs.
• A default database exists on the Oracle server.
  Tip:
  When you install Oracle, you have the option to create a database automatically.
  Important:
  To ensure proper handling of Unicode content, the database character set must be UTF-8 encoding.
• The user who performs these instructions has system administration authority on the Oracle database.

When running Jazz Team Server on Oracle, create an Oracle tablespace to improve performance. You must create a user linked to that tablespace.

About this task

To set up an Oracle database:

1. Create a tablespace. The tablespace location must be appropriate to the machine and disk drive.
   Note:
   The tablespace can have any of these properties:

   • A name other than oracle_tbs
   • A location in another directory
   • A size larger than 1GB. For large installations, you need to allocate more space.
   The example below shows a create statement executed on a Windows machine:

   CREATE BIGFILE TABLESPACE oracle_tbs DATAFILE 'D:\oracle_tbs\oracle_tbs.dbf' SIZE 1G AUTOEXTEND ON EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL AUTOALLOCATE;

   Important:
   The directory path (in this example D:\oracle_tbs) must exist. It is not necessary to create a separate special tablespace. You can use the Oracle default USERS tablespace, but Oracle performs better with a pre-allocated space on the disk that it manages.
2. Create an Oracle user.

   After the tablespace is created, a special Oracle user must be created for Jazz to use the Oracle database.

   In this example, the user has the name jazzDBuser and password (IDENTIFIED BY in Oracle terms) jazzDBpswd and exists in the tablespace created in 1.

   CREATE USER jazzDBuser IDENTIFIED BY jazzDBpswd DEFAULT TABLESPACE oracle_tbs;

   After the user is created, the user should be given the necessary permissions needed to initialize the Jazz database. The following SQL commands can be used to grant the appropriate permissions:

   GRANT CREATE SESSION TO jazzDBuser;
   GRANT CREATE TABLE, ALTER ANY TABLE, DROP ANY TABLE, CREATE ANY INDEX, ALTER ANY INDEX, DROP ANY INDEX TO jazzDBuser;
   GRANT INSERT ANY TABLE, UPDATE ANY TABLE, DELETE ANY TABLE TO jazzDBuser;
   GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE TO jazzDBuser;
   GRANT CREATE VIEW TO jazzDBuser;

3. Locate the file teamserver.properties in the directory JazzInstallDir/server/conf/jazz and rename it to teamserver.OtherDBProvider.properties.
4. Locate the file teamserver.oracle.properties in the directory JazzInstallDir/server/conf/jazz and rename it to teamserver.properties.
   Tip:
   Renaming the original teamserver.properties file enables you to restore the file to the previous working version. By default, the DB Provider is derby.
5. Configure the server
   1. Edit the server configuration file if you used a different user name, password, or db name, installed Oracle server on a different machine than Jazz Team Server, or are using a port other than the default. Open the file teamserver.properties in JazzInstallDir/server/conf/jazz directory, and change the information listed below to match your setup.

      com.ibm.team.repository.db.vendor = ORACLE

      com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location=thin:jazzDBuser/{password}@localhost:1521/ORCL

      Change jazzDBuser with the user created for Jazz to use the Oracle database. If you are using localhost, uncomment this line by removing # from the beginning of the line and comment the next location line. Localhost connection strings should not include the preceding //. Change 1521 with your Oracle server machine TCIP port. Change ORCL with your Oracle database name.

      com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location=thin:jazzDBuser/{password}@//oracleserver.example.com:1521/ORCL

      Remember:
      Oracle location URLs can take several forms. The examples here work under most circumstances. Consult the Oracle JDBC documentation for more details.

      If you are using a non-localhost connection, uncomment this line by removing the # from the beginning of the line and comment the previous location line. Non-localhost connection strings must include the preceding //.

      com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.password=jazzDBpswd

      Change jazzDBpswd with the password of the user created for Jazz to use the Oracle database.

      Important:
      Do not change the {password} text in the property com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location. The user password must be specified in the property com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.password.

      If you are using Oracle Express, use 1521 for TCIP port and XE for Oracle database name:

      com.ibm.team.repository.db.vendor = ORACLE
      com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location=thin:jazzDBuser/{password}@localhost:1521/XE
      com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.password=jazzDBpswd

   2. In the same directory as the server scripts (JazzInstallDir/server), create a directory named oracle.
   3. Locate the Oracle JDBC driver JAR file, named ojdbc14.jar. The location can vary depending on the Oracle product and operating system. Copy this file to the directory named oracle.
      Note:
      If you are using WebSphere Application Server, configure a property named "ORACLE_JDBC"; then set it to the absolute file path (not URL) to the Oracle JDBC drivers. This task is described in the WebSphere Application Server setup instructions. Make a note of the file path for later use in these instructions.
6. Open a SQL plus window and type the following command:

   GRANT DBA TO jazzDBuser;

What to do next

You have finished setting up your database and can continue with Creating database tables.

Alternatively, return to the Installation roadmaps to review the next steps in the installation.

Setting up a SQL Server database

This procedure assumes that the following prerequisites have been met:

• You have SQL Server installed
• SQL Server service is started
• You have the SQL Server JDBC drivers installed. For more information, go to the Microsoft Developer Network Web site at http://msdn.microsoft.com/ and search for "Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver".
• The TCP protocol is enabled for SQL Server
• The user who creates the DB table must have one of the following permissions:
  • A membership in the sysadmin fixed server role, or ownership of the database (dbo)

Setting up a database

This section describes how to set up the SQL Server database by using the command line tool sqlcmd, which is provided with the SQL Server installation. You can also use a visual tool, such as SQL Server Studio Management, which is also available for the Express™ version as SQL Server Studio Management Express. See the SQL Server documentation or an SQL Server database administrator (DBA) for more information.

To set up an SQL Server database by using the command tool sqlcmd:

1. Create a Jazz Team Server database. From the command line tool, type:

   CREATE DATABASE jazz 
   GO 

2. Create a user and password and change the ownership of the Jazz Team Server database. From the command line tool, type:

   CREATE LOGIN jazzDBuser
   WITH PASSWORD = 'jazzDBpswd';
   USE jazz;
   exec sp_changedbowner 'jazzDBuser'
   GO 

3. Change the collation of the Jazz Team Server database. From the command line tool, type:

   ALTER DATABASE jazz COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP437_CS_AS 
   GO

Configuring the server

To configure the server:

1. Rename the following files:
   • Rename the JazzInstallDir/server/conf/jazz/teamserver.properties file to teamserver.OtherDBProvider.properties
   • Rename the teamserver.sqlserver.properties file to teamserver.properties
   Tip:
   Renaming the original teamserver.properties file enables you to restore the file to the previous working version. By default, the DB Provider is derby.
2. Edit the server configuration file if you used a different user name, password, or db name, installed SQL server on a different machine than Jazz Team Server, or are using a port other than the default. Open the file teamserver.properties in JazzInstallDir/server/conf/jazz directory, and change the information listed below to match your setup.

   com.ibm.team.repository.db.vendor = SQLSERVER
   com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location=//SQL SERVER MACHINE IP:SQL SERVER TCIP PORT;databaseName=JAZZ DATABASE NAME;user=JAZZ USERNAME;password={password}
   com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.password=JAZZ LOGIN PASSWORD

   Important:
   Do not change the password={password} text in the property com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location. The user password must be specified in the property com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.password.

To specify the jar file location for JDBC:

1. In the same directory as the server scripts (JazzInstallDir/server), create a directory named sqlserver.
2. Locate the SQL Server JDBC driver JAR file, named sqljdbc.jar. The location can vary depending on where the drivers were installed, as noted in the prerequisites section. Copy the file into the newly created sqlserver directory.
3. Specify the JDBC JAR file location for JDBC by completing the following task:
   • Set up the environment variable SQLSERVER_ABSPATH to point to the directory that contains the JAR file. If the path contains space characters, you must include them with quotations.
     Tip:
     If you use WebSphere Application Server, configure a property named SQLSERVER_JDBC; then set it to the absolute file path (not URL) to the SQL Server JDBC drivers directory. For more information, see the WebSphere Application Server setup instructions. Note the file path for later use in these instructions.

What to do next

You have completed setting up your database. Now, create the database tables. For more information, see Creating database tables.

Alternatively, return to the Installation roadmaps to review the next steps in the installation.

Troubleshooting

If the repotools command does not succeed, check the log file named repotools_createTables.log, located in the JazzInstallDir/server directory.

Also, verify the following:

• The SQL Server is configured to allow connections using the TCP/IP protocol. If required, restart the SQL service.
• The SQL Server machine host name, and the port is correctly reflected in the teamserver.properties file.
• The login name, password, and database name are properly reflected in the teamserver.properties file.
• A firewall does not prevent you from accessing the SQL Server. Use a telnet command to telnet to the machine using hostname and port from the teamserver.properties file.
• The created user has proper permissions in the Jazz Team Server database.

Creating database tables

Before you begin

Before you can run this command, stop the database server.

About this task

The repotools file is located in JazzInstallDir/server.

The command uses the configuration properties in teamserver.properties for the connection and size settings. By default, the command looks in the current directory. The parameters in the teamserver.properties can be modified to reference the appropriate database.

To create the database tables:

1. Run the command repotools -createTables to create the database tables for a Rational Project Conductor repository.
   • On Windows:

      repotools -createTables

   • On Linux:

     ./repotools.sh -createTables

2. After the database tables are created, stop and restart the database.

What to do next

• If you are using the default Apache Tomcat server, your installation is complete, and you can now proceed to start the server.
• If you want to use the Websphere Application Server, set up and start the WebSphere Application Server

Alternatively, return to the Installation roadmaps to review the next steps in the installation.

Adding database tables to an existing repository

Before you begin

Before you can run this command, stop the database server.

About this task

The repotools file is located in JazzInstallDir/server.

The command uses the configuration properties in teamserver.properties for the connection and size settings. By default, the command looks in the current directory. The parameters in the teamserver.properties can be modified to reference the appropriate database.

To add the database tables to an existing repository:

   • On Windows:

      repotools -addTables

   • On Linux:

     ./repotools.sh -addTables

   Note:
   There may be exceptions displayed when this command is run. You can ignore these exceptions since the database is created successfully.
2. After the database tables are added, stop and restart the database.

What to do next

You can now proceed to start the server.

Alternatively, return to the Installation roadmaps to review the next steps in the installation.

Setting up and starting the server

About this task

If you plan to use the included Apache Tomcat application server, you are ready to start the Jazz Team Server. If you plan to use the WebSphere Application Server, set up your server environment as described in Setting up and starting a WebSphere Application Server.

Starting the Apache Tomcat server

Before you begin

Before you start the server, review the following requirements:

• If you installed IBM Rational Project Conductor into an existing package group, or updated an existing installation, clear the Apache Tomcat cache. To clear cache, delete the catalina folder from the path JazzInstallDir/server/tomcat/work.
• If you want to run the start and stop scripts from any other directory, you must change the profiles.ini file in JazzInstallDir/server/provision_profiles to use an absolute path.
• Apache Tomcat is configured to use the ports 9080 and 9443 in the JazzInstallDir/server/tomcat/conf/server.xml file. If necessary, change them as appropriate for your system. You cannot install Rational Project Conductor on a server when you have other Jazz-based products running. Ensure that you change the connector on a different port. Also, if necessary, update the configuration settings of Jazz server Repository HTTP ports in the Advanced Properties configuration page of the Jazz Admin Web UI.
• The directory JazzInstallDir/server/tomcat/logs contains the server log files. If you have trouble starting the server, check the log files.

Starting the server on Windows

About this task

To start the server:

1. From the JazzInstallDir/server directory, run the following command:

   server.startup.bat

   Note:
   A separate Apache Tomcat console window opens. Do not close this window or the server will stop working. Also, several informational messages launch, including a message about the Apache Tomcat Native Library. These informational messages do not affect the Jazz Team Server functionality.
2. To stop the server, from the JazzInstallDir/server directory, run the following command:

   server.shutdown.bat

What to do next

These tasks run the start and stop scripts directly from the directory JazzInstallDir/server. Also, you can run the commands from the Jazz Team Server Windows start menu.

After the server is started, proceed to Testing and configuring the server.

Starting the server on Linux

About this task

To start the server:

1. From the JazzInstallDir/server directory:
   • If you are logged in as the root user, run the following command:

     ./server.startup

   • If your user ID has administrator access, run the following command:

     sudo ./server.startup

   A separate Apache Tomcat console window is not visible. You can check the server startup progress by viewing the log file at JazzInstallDir/server/tomcat/logs/catalina.out.
2. To stop the server, from the JazzInstallDir/server directory:
   • If you are logged in as the root user, run the following command:

     ./server.shutdown

   • If your user ID has administrator access, run the following command:

     sudo ./server.shutdown

   This example runs the start and stop scripts directly from the directory JazzInstallDir/server. If you installed Jazz Team Server by using IBM Installation Manager, you can also run the commands from the Start menu in the Jazz Team Server application.

What to do next

After the server is started, proceed to Testing and configuring the server.

Alternatively, return to the Installation roadmaps to review the next steps in the installation.

Setting up and starting a WebSphere Application Server

Before you begin

Ensure that the following criteria are met:

• Verify that a supported version of WebSphere Application Server is installed. For information about supported versions, see Installation requirements.
• Ensure that the database is created and the teamserver.properties file is updated with your database settings.
• Ensure that the WebSphere Application Server security setting "Use available authentication data when an unprotected URI is accessed" is selected. If you are using the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console, perform the following steps:
  • Navigate to Security -> Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure -> Web Security - General Settings.
  • Select the check box for Use available authentication data when an unprotected URI is accessed.
• If you installed Rational Project Conductor into an existing package group, or updated an existing installation, clear the server cache. To clear cache, delete the folders temp and wstemp from the path WASInstallDir\profiles\AppSrv01\.On Windows, also clear the contents at the directory location C:\Documents and Settings\<User name>\Local Settings\Application Data\IBM\IBM Information Server console.

About this task

You can configure WebSphere Application Server as your application server even if you have installed Rational Project Conductor with the default Tomcat application server option. In this scenario, the steps for setting up WebSphere Application Server are the same, except that when the jazz.war file is deployed, you must navigate to the jazz.war file that is located within the Tomcat installation directory.

To set up a WebSphere Application Server:

1. Verify or update the WebSphere Application Server level.

   Rational Project Conductor requires WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 with the IBM Java™ SDK 1.5 SR5 or later fix pack applied. Use the IBM Java SDK 1.5 SR6 SDK update that is available from http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27009393 and select fix pack V6.1.0.25 or later. With WebSphere 6.1 and the GA IBM Java SDK, Rational Project Conductor starts to report "proxy errors" after some number of operations.

   You must obtain the corresponding WebSphere Application Server interim fixes for fixes to IBM Java SDK 1.5 SR9 or IBM Java SDK 1.6 SR4 that are necessary for Rational Project Conductor to run correctly. Otherwise, some services in the server might not start correctly. The interim fixes are available under their corresponding WebSphere Application Server APARs. For IBM Java SDK 1.5/WebSphere Application Server 6.1, the APAR is PK85942 and you can download the files from ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/websphere/appserv/support/fixes/PK85942/. Install at least WebSphere Application Server 6.1 fix pack 25 before installing the JRE interim fix.

2. Update the JVM arguments which can be set to control some aspects of the server behavior. The following list contains the specifics of setting these JVM properties in the administrative console, substitute JazzInstallDir with your Rational Project Conductor installation directory:
   1. Click Servers -> Application Servers.
   2. Click server1.
   3. Click Java and Process Management -> Process Definition.
   4. Click Java Virtual Machine.
   5. Add the value 100 to the Initial Heap.
   6. Add the value 1500 to the Maximum Heap Size.
   7. Click Apply.

What to do next

After the server is started, proceed to Testing and configuring the server.

Alternatively, return to the Installation roadmaps to review the next steps in the installation.

Testing and configuring the server

Before you begin

To verify that the Jazz Team Server is connecting to the database, look at the server log or console output. The connection and database information are echoed on its first access. The directory JazzInstallDir/server/tomcat/logs is used for the server log files.

This procedure assumes that your server is available using the host name localhost and the default port 9443. If necessary, replace localhost with your server host name.

The server setup wizard is available at https://localhost:9443/jazz/setup. If the server setup wizard does not load, check the following items:

• Verify that the application server has started. Use the URL http://localhost:9080.
• Verify that the Jazz Team Server has started by logging in to the Jazz Team Server Admin Web UI using the URL https://localhost:9443/jazz/admin. If the page does not load or the server has errors, the server did not start correctly.
• The URI root for the Jazz Team Server path must be /jazz. For example, https://example.com:9443/jazz must be used rather than https://example.com:9443.

About this task

To configure and test the server:

1. Open the setup wizard by typing the URL https://localhost:9443/jazz/setup.

   The default user name and password are case sensitive:

   • User name: ADMIN
   • Password: ADMIN

   If you configured the LDAP directory Web container, log in with a JazzAdmin user that is defined in your LDAP directory.

2. Choose a setup path. The setup wizard has the following two main paths
   • The Fast Path Setup uses the default configuration. If you want to get the server running quickly, use the Fast Path Setup option. You can use the Fast Path Setup to specify the LDAP connection parameters. For more information on specifying the LDAP paramaters, see Setting up the LDAP connection parameters
   • The Custom Setup guides you through the detailed server configuration, including the ability to enable e-mail notifications. During the Custom Setup, you can set up the following items:
     • Database
     • E-mail notification
     • User registry
3. By default the Disable default ADMIN access check box is selected. After you create a new user with JazzAdmin rights, the default ADMIN user is disabled. This is a security feature. Disable this check box if you want to retain the default ADMIN user.
   Note:
   If you retain the default ADMIN user, you must assign a IBM Rational Project Conductor Client Access License to the user. If no license is assigned, the default ADMIN user cannot perform any project management tasks. For information about assigning licenses, see Creating users and assigning licenses.
4. When the initial setup is complete, additional options can be configured from the Jazz Team Server Admin Web user interface by using the URL https://localhost:9443/jazz/admin.

Setting up the LDAP connection parameters

About this task
