Prepare the WebSphere Application Server environment for ClearCase and ClearQuest web servers

Before you install or upgrade Rational® ClearCase® and Rational ClearQuest® web features, install or upgrade to a supported version of WebSphere® Application Server, IBM® HTTP Server, and Web Plug-ins for IBM WebSphere.

Rational ClearCase and Rational ClearQuest web features are deployed on the WebSphere Application Server and use IBM HTTP Server for client to server communication. This architecture requires that you have a supported version of WebSphere Application Server and IBM HTTP Server installed before you can install or upgrade Rational ClearCase or ClearQuest web server components.

Attention: If your are not deploying IBM Rational ClearCase and ClearQuest web server components to support client applications such as ClearTeam Explorer and ClearQuest Web client, you do not have to install WebSphere Application Server components.
Supported configurations are shown in Table 1.
