Configuring the upgraded Design Management Server

After you upgrade Design Management Server and overwrite the appropriate files, you must configure the upgraded server.

Before you begin

Before you configure the upgraded server, you must overwrite several key directories and files to update the server properly. You must also run several batch files to update the database before you can configure the server.

Procedure

  1. Start the server by using an account that has administrator permissions.
    • If you are using Apache Tomcat on a Windows system, click Start > All Programs > IBM Rational Design Manager_1 > Start the Jazz Team Server.
      Tip: To start the server from the command line, open a command prompt as an administrator: click Start > Programs > Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and click Run as administrator. In the administrator command window, go to the server folder in your server installation directory and run server.startup.bat.
    • If you are using Tomcat on a Linux system, go to the server folder in your server installation directory and run server.startup.
      Important: In each case, if you are using Tomcat, wait for the message INFO: Server startup in # ms. This step might take a while to complete the first time that you start the server; on subsequent restarts, the server starts much faster.
    • If you are using WebSphere® Application Server, start the server from the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
  2. Optional: In a web browser, go to https://fully_qualified_host_name:9443/dm/provision; the web browser shows the provision log and stack trace results.
  3. In a web browser, go to https://fully_qualified_host_name:9443/jts/admin?internal#action=com.ibm.team.repository.admin.serverReset and complete the following steps:
    1. Log into the Jazz Team Server by using an account that has administrator permissions.
    2. On the Server Administration page, click Request Server Reset; a message is displayed that states the Jazz Team Server will be reset when it restarts.
    3. After the message is displayed, log out of the Jazz Team Server.
  4. To stop the upgraded version of Design Management Server, click Start > All Programs > IBM Rational Design Manager_1 > Stop the Jazz Team Server.
  5. Restart the computer that hosts the server.
  6. After the computer restarts, start the Design Management Server by using the procedure in step 1.
    Tip: When you restart the Design Management Server, remember to start the newly upgraded Design Management Server. On the Start menu, the menu item is IBM Rational Design Manager_1.

What to do next

If you are upgrading from Design Management Server 3.0, proceed to Upgrading the templates from Design Management Server 3.0 to update the templates. Otherwise, proceed to Specifying Design Management Server resource link permissions to update each project area with the correct resource link permissions.
