Software prerequisites

Before you can install Rational® Team Concert for System z® on z/OS®, you must ensure that the prerequisite applications are installed and operational. Be aware of optional software requirements. For the Jazz Team Server for System z, you must configure an application server and a database to use the Jazz Team Server for System z.

For detailed system requirements see Detailed System Requirements.

Tip: These instructions indicate whether specific steps are required or optional depending on which application server and database combination you choose.

The you use DB2 for your database, you must use DB2® Version 9.1 for z/OS, with the Universal JDBC driver configured to ensure interoperability between the database and z/OS.2
