Frequently asked questions about installing on IBM i

The following are answers to some of the questions that are frequently asked about installing the Jazz™ Team Server on IBM® i.

Question:

Where are the startserver and stopserver files located and how do I use them?

Answer:

Navigate to your WebSphere® Application Server bin directory. For example: /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/V61/Base/bin. Use the ./startserver command to start or the ./stopserver command to stop. If you need to start or stop a WebSphere Application Server instance other than the default WebSphere Application Server instance, you can pass the -profileName parameter to the ./startserver or ./stopserver commands.

Question:

How do I create a WebSphere Application Server profile?

Answer:

To create a WebSphere Application Server profile that you can use to start a new WebSphere Application Server instance, perform these steps:

From QShell, navigate to your WebSphere Application Server installation directory. For example: cd /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/V61/Base/bin.
Use the manageprofiles command to create a new profile. For example: ./manageprofiles -create -profileName WAS4RTCI.
The manageprofiles command will tell you whether you successfully created the profile, and then direct you to the log file that was generated when you created the profile.

Note: The process of creating a WebSphere Application Server profile takes several minutes to complete. This delay is normal.

Question:

How do I create IBM i group profiles?

Answer:

Here are examples of IBM i commands that you can use to create group profiles on IBM i to be used with the Jazz Team Server:
- crtusrprf usrprf(JAZZADMINS) password(*none) grpprf(*none) text('Group profile for JAZZADMINS')
There are four user roles associated with the Jazz Team Server application:
- JazzAdmins
- JazzDWAdmins
- JazzUsers
- JazzGuests
- JazzProjectAdmins
You can create a separate group for each of these roles by repeating the command above with a different usrprf name.

To assign a valid user ID to a group, use the command chgusrprf usrprf(MONDIEU) grpprf(JAZZADMINS).
You can also assign a supplemental group.

Consult the IBM i Information Center for additional information.

Question:

Where do I find provisioning information for the Jazz Team Server?

Answer:

You can view the results of the provisioning process from the Jazz Team Server administrative web interface, using a URL similar to https://<yourServerHostName>:<yourJazzServerPortNumber>/jazz/admin#action=com.ibm.team.repository.admin.provisionStatus.

If there are error messages, you can use them to diagnose any problems.
After fixing these problems, reset the Jazz Team Server to reprovision with the new settings.
You can then click to check the Provision Status again.
