After you download the Design
Management packages from Jazz.net, use the launchpad to install IBM® Installation Manager and then
install Design
Management. The installation process creates the proper folder structure
and the files required to set up and configure Design
Management.
Before you begin
Ensure that you extracted all the files to the same location.
After extraction, you should have a directory named
RSADM. If you downloaded the files individually, you will have the directory
RSADM_Setup or
RhapsodyDM_Setup. If you
are installing any
Rational® solution for
Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) applications, you will have additional directories
related to CLM.
Procedure
- Log on to your computer or local area server as a user
with administrator permission.
- Go to the RSADM/disk1 and run the Launchpad file. If you downloaded the files individually,
go to the directory RSADM_Setup or RhapsodyDM_Setup and run the Launchpad file.
Run launchpad.exe.
Run launchpad.sh.
- In the launchpad, under IBM Rational Software
Architect Design Manager Server or IBM Rational
Rhapsody Design Manager Server, click Install
the server. IBM Installation Manager opens and lists the Design
Management packages, and the version of IBM Installation
Manager that installs them.
- If you have IBM Installation
Manager version 1.5.2 or later installed, go to step 5. Otherwise, install only the IBM Installation Manager package.
- On the Install Packages page, select the check box for IBM Installation Manager version 1.5.2 and clear all the other check
boxes.
- If you agree to the license agreement, click I accept the terms in the license agreements, and then
click Next.
- On the Install Packages page, accept the default IBM Installation Manager directory and then click Next.
- Click Install.
- When the installation process is complete, click Restart Installation Manager.
- In IBM Installation Manager, select the check boxes to install the server that corresponds
to your modeling product, and the Jazz™ Team Server, and then click Next.
Note: If you are installing other CLM applications,
you must select which installation packages to include such as
Change and Configuration Management,
Quality
Management, or
Requirements Management. The following diagram shows the selection of a
IBM Jazz Team Server along with other CLM applications. If you have a multiple
or enterpriseinstallation scenario, select only the applications to
install in this installation package or server. You must then use
IBM Installation Manager on the new server, or restart after completing the installation,
and select another application and choose a different installation
package location in step
8.

- On the Prerequisite page, verify the packages and click Next.
- For each component that you install, you must review the
license agreement, accept it if you agree to it, and then click Next.
- Accept the default shared resources directory,
or enter a different location, and then click Next.
- Select the languages to install and then click Next.
- On the Features page, review the
packages and click Next.
- On the Common Configurations page,
you can specify which server to use. If you are installing Design Management Server on Apache Tomcat, select the Install Tomcat
7 check box. If you are using another application server,
such as WebSphere® Application Server, clear the check box and under Alternative
Web Application Deployment Location, specify the location
for the web application files.
The following diagram
shows the installation of the Apache Tomcat 7 server.

- Click Next.
- On the Context Root page, accept
the default context root values and click Next.
- On the Summary page, click Install.
- To complete the installation, click Finish and when the installation process completes, close IBM Installation Manager. If you are using a multiple installation scenario, click Install to add additional applications in a different
installation package folder.
- Before you start the server, ensure that you do not have
any other web servers running on the default port for the Design Management Server, which is 9443. If you need to run the Design Management Server on a different port, change the port number:
- Before you start the server, open the file named Installation_Directory/server/tomcat/conf/server.xml in a text editor. In this case, Installation_Directory is the folder in which you installed the server.
- In the server.xml file, replace
all instances of port 9443 with an alternate port number that is available.
- Save and close the file. Remember the port number because
you need it to configure the server.
What to do next
If you are using Apache Tomcat, you can now set up the server
as described in
Setting up and configuring the Design Management Server. If you are using a different
application server, you can now deploy the
Design Management Server on that application server; see
Deploying the Design Management Server on WebSphere Application Server.
