Installation tasks
Installing the application server
You must install either WebSphere® Application Server or Apache Tomcat before you can deploy the 2.0 Document Builder .
Installing the license server
- You are not required to install a license server on every computer that is using Rational Publishing Engine. Install the license server on one server and distribute license keys to the Rational Publishing Engine users.
- Rational Publishing Engine licenses are floating or user-based. Nodelocked licenses cannot be used.
- Temporary licenses are available for evaluation purposes, but cannot be used with permanent user-based or floating licenses.
Installing the remote applications
When you install Rational Publishing Engine, you have the option of installing the remote applications, which includes the 2.0 Document Builder . See Installing IBM Rational Publishing Engine Document Builder on a server for organizational use.
The 1.x Remote Services applications (Central Management, Monitor and Control, Remote Document Generation, and Report Scheduler) are deprecated in this release. You can now perform these tasks using Document Builder. See Migrating assets from 1.x Remote services to 2.0 Document Builder.
Deploying Document Builder
With the Rational Publishing Engine 2.0 Document Builder, everyday users can easily produce documents using pre-configured reports, with no coding knowledge or additional configuration required.
Installing Rational Publishing Engine clients for end users
To design templates and create document specifications, users must have the Document Studio and Launcher applications installed on their computers. After installation is complete, users can connect to the remote services and data sources to begin designing documents for their organization. See Installing IBM Rational Publishing Engine clients for design use by users.
Installing the add-ins
Add-ins are available for IBM Rational DOORS® integrations. These add-ins enable you to start publishing processes directly from Rational DOORS .
You can install the add-in during the Rational Publishing Engine installation. See Installing IBM Rational Publishing Engine clients for design use by users. If a valid installation of one of those products is found, the add-ins are automatically selected to install. However, you can also install the add-ins later. See Installing the Rational DOORS add-in.
