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.
You can also select to install the Design Management client extensions
or the import engines.
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 should have the
RSADM_Setup directory
or the
RhapsodyDM_Setup directory. 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_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.
- Choose custom or express installation based on your install
topology. If you are installing on multiple servers, click Custom
Installation and select either install the Jazz Team Server
or Install applications without Jazz Team Server. If you are installing
the client extensions or import engine, click Install the
Clients and click the feature to install.
IBM Installation Manager opens
and lists the Design
Management packages,
and the version of IBM Installation
Manager that
installs them.
- 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 using Rational Software Architect,
you need to select IBM Rational Software Architect Extension
for Design Management Domain Extension Application.
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 enterprise
installation scenario, select only the Jazz Team Server or applications
to install in this installation package or server. You must then use
IBM Installation Manager on
the new server, or restart after the installation and select another
application and a different installation package location in step
8.
Note: If
you are planning to install and use Requirements Management and Design
Management applications together on a Linux operating system, you
must make sure that Requirements Management (converter.war) application
and IBM Rational Software Architect Extension for Design
Management Domain Extension Application (rsadm.war) applications
are deployed on separate application servers. If these applications
are deployed on the same application server on a Linux operating system,
errors might occur that prevent the Converter application from displaying
graphics.

- 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, select the
appropriate option. To use a custom context root for each application,
click the custom option and, in the table below, type a context root
for the application 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.
