RTCz: Repository Tools overview

The Repository Tools Application is a standalone application that provides a way to manage a Jazz™ repository database.

The Repository Tools Application is intended to be used for performing database migrations. The application is not intended to be used for performing a database backup. Consult your database vendor's documentation for how best perform a backup.

Notes:
  1. Shutdown and backup the database before using any repotools command that manipulates the database.
  2. Prior to running a repotools command the server must be stopped.
The repotools are located in JazzInstallDir/server.
Note: If you want to run the repotools commands from any other directory, the profiles.ini file in JazzInstallDir/server/conf/jazz/provision_profiles must be changed to use an absolute path. See Modifying the profile.ini and license_profile.ini files.
On z/OS®, the repotools application is invoked by JCL. A number of sample JOBs are provided for the most often used Repository Tools functions. These jobs are found in the hlq.SBLZSAMP dataset created by your SMP/E install. The member names are:
Member name Repository Tools function
BLZCRED2 -createTables (for Derbry)
BLZCREDB -createTables (for DB2® on z/OS)
BLZEXPO2 -export (for Derby)
BLZEXPOR -export (for DB2 on z/OS)
BLZIMPO2 -import (for Derby)
BLZIMPOR -import (for DB2 on z/OS)
If you need to execute other repository tools functions, you can copy one of the existing Rational Team Concert™ for System z® sample JCL members and modify it by changing the //MAINARGS DD section to correspond to the Repository Tools function you would like to execute on z/OS.
