Lesson 2: Install the Rational Asset Manager plug-in

Before you can submit the provisionable items that you created in Lesson 1, you must install the Rational Asset Manager Eclipse client plug-in in your workbench. In this lesson, you install the client plug-in by using the Eclipse update manager.

To complete this lesson, you must have access to the Rational Asset Manager server. Contact your Rational Asset Manager server administrator to obtain the Web address to access the Rational Asset Manager server and update site, such as http://localhost:13080/com.ibm.ram.repository.web/extensions.faces.

Type the Web address in a browser and click Help > Extensions. In the Eclipse Client Plug-in section, find the Web address beside the Update site area, for example: http://localhost:13080/com.ibm.ram.repository.web/RCPUpdateSite/

To install the client plug-in:
  1. Click Help > Software Updates; then click Available software.
  2. On the Available software page, click Add Site, specify the Web address for the update site, and click OK.
  3. From the list of available update sites, select the site you added, and click Install.
  4. On the Install page, click Next.
  5. On the Review Licenses page, read the license agreement. If you agree to the terms and conditions of the agreement, click I accept and click Finish.
  6. After the installation is complete, in the Software Updates window, click Apply Changes.

To verify that the installation succeeded, open the Asset Management perspective. Click Window > Open Perspective > Other, select Asset Management, and click OK.
