Adding domain extension servers to host Rational Software Architect content

This content applies to version 4.0.3 or later. You must add a dedicated domain extension server to ensure that the Design Management Server displays Rational® Software Architect content such as diagrams, data from the Explorer view, import functionality, and properties. The extension server is a separate installation package that you can install with the Design Management Server. You can also install the server by itself on a separate server and register it manually.

About this task

You can add extension servers separately and register them on the Design Management Server administration pages. If the extension server is installed and started when the Design Management Server setup begins, the setup process discovers the server and automatically adds it to the administration page. If an extension server is not installed, the setup wizard warns you that the steps below are necessary.
Tip: When you add a new Design Management Domain Extension Server, ensure that the computer that hosts the Design Management Server can communicate with the computer that hosts the extension server. If you experience problems, such as diagrams not loading, you might need to add a firewall exception so that the servers can communicate.

Procedure

  1. In the upper-left corner of the page, click the Home icon; then click Jazz Team Server Home.
  2. On the Server Administration page, scroll to Application Administration and, under Design Management, click Manage All Project Areas.
  3. On the Design Management Administration page, on the main menu bar, click Domain Extension Servers.
  4. To add a new server to display Rational Software Architect diagrams, in the upper-right corner of the page, click Add New Server.
  5. In the New Domain Extension Server window, enter a server name and enter a URL in this format: https://host:port/rsadm. To use the server immediately, click Enabled.
    Important: If you enter an extension server URL that does not exist, UML-based diagrams will not appear in the diagram editor even if you clicked Enabled. If a message in the diagram editor states Unable to load diagram, check the dm.log file for information about how to resolve the problem.
  6. Click OK.
