Verify your server environment is supported.
Record the server information
  • Hostname: jazzserver.example.com
  • IP address: 192.168.1.1
  • Platform: Linux RHEL 5
Choose an application server.
Note: IBM® WebSphere® Application Server is supported only on the Rational Team Concert Express and Standard editions.
Choose an application server:
  • Apache Tomcat (included)
  • IBM WebSphere Application Server
If you are installing Jazz Team Server a to use with IBM WebSphere Application Server, record the following information:
  • Web application directory:
    • Windows: Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server (default)
    • Linux: /opt/IBM/JazzTeamServer/server (default)
If the default ports conflict with ports that are already in use, list the ports you use instead.
  • http port: 9080 (default)
  • https port: 9443 (default)
Choose a database and connection type.
Note: DB2® and Oracle are supported only on the Rational Team Concert Express edition and Standard edition.
Note: Although a Derby database is included in the default configuration and requires no installation, this database cannot support more than 10 users. If you want to support more than 10 users and do not have access to an existing DB2 or Oracle database, install DB2 Express
Database Information:
  • Derby (default)
  • DB2 Express (included)
  • DB2
  • Oracle
Database connection type:
  • JDBC
    • JDBC Password: db2admin
    • JDBC Location: //localhost:50000/JAZZ:fullyMaterializeLobData=false (default)
    • User name: db2admin
  • J2EE
    • J2EE Datasource: jdbc/mydatasource
Database location:
  • Database port: 50000
    Tip: In the DB2 Command Window, run the command db2 get dbm cfg, then find the line that contains SVCENAME, which indicates the DB2 port name or number. If this command displays a number, use it as the port number (in place of 50000 in the example above). If the command returns a non-numeric name, determine what port number was assigned for this name and use that port number. On Linux, the file /etc/services contains the mapping between port names and numbers, and on Windows, the file C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\services contains the mapping. For more information, ask your database administrator or consult the database documentation.
    Tip: If you are installing DB2 Express, accepting the defaults during the installation simplifies the Jazz Team Server configuration.
