Hosting Rational Quality Manager and Rational Team Concert on the same machine

This topic describes configuring server port numbers to host both Rational® Quality Manager and Rational Team Concert on the same machine.

To host the Rational Team Concert server with other Rational products such as Rational Quality Manager on the same machine, you must modify the server port numbers for one of the servers.

Changing HTTP port number for Rational Quality Manager

To change the HTTP port number, follow these steps:
  1. Log on to Rational Quality Manager as a user with JazzAdmins repository permissions.
  2. Click Admin, and then click Jazz Server Administration.
  3. Click Advanced Properties.
  4. In the browser, click Edit > Find or press Ctrl+F.
  5. Type 9080 and click OK.
  6. In com.ibm.team.repository.service.internal.webuiInitializer.ConfigPropertyInitializer click Edit.
  7. Change HTTP port from 9080 to 9081.
  8. Change HTTPS port from 9443 to 9444.
  9. Click Find Next to find another instance of 9080.
  10. In com.ibm.team.repository.servlet.internal.ServletConfigurationService click Edit.
  11. Change HTTP port from 9080 to 9081.
  12. Change HTTPS port from 9443 to 9444.
  13. Scroll to the top of the page and click Save.
  14. Log out of Rational Quality Manager and shut down the server.

Editing the server.xml file

To change the port numbers in the Tomcat server.xml file:
  1. Navigate to the tomcat\conf directory where Rational Quality Manager is installed (usually C:\Program Files\IBM\RQM20\server\tomcat\conf).
  2. Open server.xml for editing.
  3. Change Server port="9005" to "9006" (Server port="9006" shutdown="SHUTDOWN").
  4. Find and replace all instances of 9080 with 9081.
  5. Find and replace all instances of 9443 with 9444.
  6. Find and replace 9009 with 9010.
  7. Save and close the server.xml file.

Editing the hosts file

When running two Tomcat servers on the same machine, you must create an alias for localhost. Otherwise, there will be repetitive challenges to your credentials (cookie overwrite).

To edit the hosts file:
  1. Navigate to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\
  2. Open the hosts file for editing.
  3. Create an alias for Rational Quality Manager by adding this line: 127.0.0.1 RQM
  4. Create an alias for Rational Team Concert by adding this line: 127.0.0.1 RTC
  5. Save and close the hosts file.

Editing the Rational Quality Manager Start menu alias

Rational Quality Manager provides a start menu option that launches a browser with the default URL pre-populated.

Follow these steps to configure the start menu to use the host alias you just created and the new port number that you assigned:
  1. Click Start > All Programs > IBM® Rational Quality Manager.
  2. Right-click Quality Manager and select Properties.
  3. Change the URL to https://RQM:9444/jazz/web/console/QM.
  4. Click OK to save your changes and close the window.
