The client is distributed as a downloadable .zip file.
If Security-Enhanced Linux® (SELinux)
is enabled, you
must disable it or change the security
context of the Java Runtime Environment (JREs) to allow text relocation
in order to install and run Rational Team Concert. For more information,
see
Installing Rational Team Concert for System z with Security-Enhanced Linux.
- Download the client package file.
You should
download the Rational Team Concert for System z client .zip file.
Note: If
you want to install the client into an existing Eclipse package group,
use the IBM Installation Manager. The IBM Installation Manager installation
prompts you for the package group you want to extend and manages future
workbench updates, rollbacks and modifications.
- Install the client distribution. Extract the .zip file
to an installation directory of your choice (for example, /opt/IBM/ on Linux or c:\IBM on Windows®,). Relative to the
installation directory you choose, the client path is JazzInstallDir/client.
- Start the client. Double-click the eclipse.exe application
in the directory JazzInstallDir/client/eclipse .
- Connect to the server. The easiest way to connect
to a server is using the Team Invitation. If you do not have an invitation
you can connect manually.
- Click . The wizard guides you through
the process.
Note: If you do not have an invitation you
need the URI or URL from your server admin. (an example format is:
https://example.com:9443/jazz). Click on the connecting
to an existing project area hyperlink that appears in
the bottom right corner of the Accept Team Invitation window.
- Follow the instructions in the wizard to set up your
connection.
Troubleshooting: Here are some suggested problem
management techniques.
- Start with an empty workspace.
- The client and the server builds must match. Make sure the build
ID's match for both the client and server distributions.
- Make sure the server is up. Confirm using the status URL: https://example.com:9443/jazz.
- On Linux, if you want to start the client from outside of the
directory JazzInstallDir/client/eclipse you
must change each file in JazzInstallDir/client/eclipse/links/
and include the absolute path to the named directory. By default,
relative paths are used. For example, JazzInstallDir/client/eclipse/links/build.link contains
the text "path=jazz/build". If your client is
installed in the directory /home/username/teamconcert, edit the file
to look like "path=/home/username/teamconcert/jazz/client/eclipse/build".
