IBM Rational Team Concert for i Installation Guide

Chapter 2. Locating and installing the files


Complete the following steps to download and install Rational Team Concert for i files. 1. Get the package from the Rational Team Concert for System z and IBM i Open Beta Web site at http://www.ibm.com/services/forms/ preLogin.do?lang=en_US&source=swerpratl-rtciz2008-3 2. Download the following files to a temporary directory:
Table 1. Rational Team Concert for i installation files Description Jazz Team Server for IBM i Rational Team Concert Eclipse-based client OPTIONAL: Build System Toolkit for IBM i File name RTC-TeamServer-on-i-1.0Beta1.zip RTC-Client-for-i-and-z-1.0Beta1.zip RTC-BuildSystemToolkit-on-i-1.0Beta1.zip

3. Create a directory in your integrated file system (IFS) on IBM i for storing the downloaded files. For example, you can create a directory structure /QIBM/UserData/RTCi/V1/TeamServer but you can use any directory to which you have write access. This directory will be referred to as <yourDirectory> in the following steps. Copy RTC-TeamServer-on-i-1.0Beta1.zip to the directory you created. 4. Unzip the file using the following steps: v From the main menu, type the qsh command v Once you are in QShell, change directories using the cd command to the location of the zip file you downloaded. v Use the jar command to unzip the file. For example:
jar xf RTC-TeamServer-on-i-1.0Beta1.zip

You should now have a jazz directory. 5. Edit the following items in <yourDirectory>/jazz/server/teamserver.properties v Replace jazzDBuser with a user ID with the authority to create and write to a library on the system. v Replace jazzDBpswd with a password for jazzDBuser Note: Do not modify password={password}. v By default, Jazz will create and use the library JAZZREPO01 as its repository. If you want to use a different library, uncomment the line with com.ibm.team.repository.db.db2i.schema.name and replace JAZZREPO01 with the name of the library you want to use. For example,
# # DB2i configuration # # Comment out above lines, uncomment the following three lines and customize example location to use DB2i com.ibm.team.repository.db.vendor = DB2i com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.location=//localhost;hold statements=true;

Copyright IBM Corp. 2008

user=jazzDBuser;password={password}; com.ibm.team.repository.db.jdbc.password=jazzDBpswd #com.ibm.team.repository.db.db2i.schema.name=JAZZREPO01

v OPTIONAL: Rational Team Concert for i supports IBM i local authentication and LDAP for security. If you are using local operating system authentication for WebSphere Application Server security, you also need to add the following statement to teamserver.properties: com.ibm.team.repository.user.registry.type=UNSUPPORTED 6. Edit <yourDirectory>/jazz/server/provision_profiles/profile.ini. Replace
url=file:./update-site

with the full path to your jazz/server/update-site directory. For example,


url=file:/QIBM/UserData/RTCi/V1/TeamServer/jazz/server/update-site

7. Edit <yourDirectory>/jazz/server/provision_profiles/i-license-profile.ini. Replace


url=file:./license-update-site

with the full path to your jazz/server/license-update-site directory. For example,


url=file:/QIBM/UserData/RTCi/V1/TeamServer/jazz/server/license-update-site

IBM Rational Team Concert for i Installation Guide

Chapter 3. Configuring your installation


After successfully installing the required and optional components, complete the following tasks to configure your installation.

Creating the Jazz Team Server database tables


You can create the Jazz Team Server repository by using the provided repository tools. Run the following command to create the repository library and tables:
./repotools.qsh -createTables

By default, this command looks for a teamserver.properties file in the current directory, and uses the configuration parameters in that file to create the repository. It uses the user ID and password you specified in that file to create the repository library and tables, and will create the repository in the library using the name you specified (if you changed the default from JAZZREPO01). This command will create a log file called repotools_createTables.log, which will contain information recorded when creating the tables and a statement about whether creation of the tables was successful. Note: If you create another properties file, for example,teamserver_test.properties then you have to pass it using this command:./repotools.qsh -createTables teamserver.properties=teamserver_test.properties logFile=createTables.log Run the command ./repotools.qsh -createTables to create the database tables for a Jazz Team Server repository. The repository tools file is located in <yourDirectory>/jazz/server. The parameter teamserver.properties can be used to reference a different properties file. This command creates the tablespace and all the required tables and indexes for a Jazz Team Server repository.

Setting up the WebSphere Application Server


Setting up the WebSphere Application Server takes place in four parts: setting the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) parameters, securing the WebSphere Application Server, installing the Jazz Web archive file, and verifying the installation. Before you set up the WebSphere Application Server, run the following commands to provide read and write access to the /tmp directory by the WebSphere Application Server: cd /tmp chmod -R 777 These steps are not intended to provide complete instructions for WebSphere Application Server administration. Instead, these instructions are intended to provide basic guidance. The following sections assume that you are installing the Jazz Team Server to the default WebSphere Application Server instance. If you choose to create a new WebSphere Application Server profile to be used with the Jazz Team Server, you should substitute that profile name for default in the following sections. Consult the WebSphere Application Server 6.1 Information Center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r1/topic/
Copyright IBM Corp. 2008

com.ibm.websphere.base.iseries.doc/info/welcome_base.html for more details on creating and managing WebSphere Application Server profiles and WebSphere Application Server administration.

Part 1: Setting the Java Virtual Machine parameters


To set up the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) parameters, complete the following steps: 1. Log on to IBM i, and enter the QSH command. 2. To start the server, navigate to the directory containing the WebSphere Application Server commands and executable files. For example,
cd /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V61/Base/profiles/default/bin

3. Start the server using the ./startServer command. When the server has started, the system will provide a port number that you can use to access the WebSphere Application Server Integrated Solutions console. For example,
CPC1221: Job 107206/QEJBSVR/SERVER1 submitted to job queue QWASJOBQ in library QWAS61. CWNATV00I: Application server server1 in profile default has started and is ready to accept connections on admin port 9060.

4. To access the WebSphere Application Server console, replace portnumber with the port number the system provided in the following URL: http://serverip:portnumber/ibm/console 5. Log on to the WebSphere Application Server Integrated Solutions console. 6. Expand Servers, click Application servers and select YourApplicationServer 7. On the Configuration tab, under Server Infrastructure, expand Java and Process Management and click Process Definition 8. Under Additional Properties, click Java Virtual Machine 9. Under Additional Properties, click Custom Properties and then click New 10. Insert the following values for the property fields:
Table 2. Property values to enter in WebSphere Application Server Property DB2I_JDBC Value to enter /QIBM/ProdData/http/public/jt400/lib a

11. Save directly to the master configuration.

Part 2: Securing the WebSphere Application Server with IBM i authentication


The Jazz Team Server requires that WebSphere Application Server administrative security and application security are enabled. If you choose to secure the WebSphere Application Server using IBM i as the security provider, you need to complete the following steps. Note: This step will be different if you are setting up security using LDAP. For more information on LDAP security and Jazz, see https://jazz.net/ jazzdocs/topic/com.ibm.team.install.doc/topics/ c_plan_identity_management.html 1. Navigate to the WebSphere Application Server administration directory using the cd command. For example:
cd /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V61/base/profiles/default/bin

2. Use the wsadmin command to start the WebSphere Application Server admin tool. For example:
./wsadmin WASX7209I: Connected to process "server1" on node LOTI19 using SOAP connector ; The type of process is: UnManagedProcess WASX7029I: For help, enter: "$Help help"

3. Secure the WebSphere Application Server profile with a valid user ID and password by entering the following command: ===> securityon YourUserID YourPassword. This user ID and password will be used to access the secure WebSphere administrative console, and has authority to stop the application server after it is secured. 4. Use the quit command to stop the WebSphere Application Server admin tool. 5. For the changes to take effect, you must stop the server using the ./stopServer command and restart it using the ./startServer command. When the server has restarted, you should have the following message:
CPC1221: Job 107206/QEJBSVR/SERVER1 submitted to job queue QWASJOBQ in library QWAS61. CWNATV00I: Application server server1 in profile default has started and is ready to accept connections on admin port 9060.

Part 3: Installing the Jazz Web archive file


You need to install the Jazz Web archive file jazz.war on your application server. Install the jazz.war file using the WebSphere Application Server Integrated Solutions console by completing the following steps:
Chapter 3. Configuring your installation

1. Use a Web browser to log on to the WebSphere Application Server Integrated Solutions console with a URL like this: http://YourServer:YourPortNumber/ibm/ console/. For example:
http://serverip:9060/ibm/console

2. 3. 4. 5.

If you have already enabled WebSphere Application Server security, you will be redirected to a secure port. Expand Applications, click Enterprise Applications On the Enterprise Applications window, click the Install button For Path to new application, select Remote file system Browse to the jazz.war file at <yourDirectory>/jazz/server/jazz.war

Note: Select a node name to browse the file system. 6. Set Context root to /jazz 7. Under How do you want to install the application? select Show me all installation options and parameters and click Next 8. Accept all defaults until you get to Step 8: Map security roles to users or groups. The security roles and levels of access include: JazzAdmins Jazz repository administrators with full read-write access JazzDWAdmins Jazz repository administrators with specific permissions to control the data warehouse on a Jazz Team Server JazzGuests Users with read-only access to the Jazz repository JazzUsers Users with regular read-write access to the Jazz repository 9. Select JazzAdmins and click Look up users Note: This step will be different if you are setting up security using LDAP. For more information on LDAP security and Jazz, see https://jazz.net/jazzdocs/topic/com.ibm.team.install.doc/topics/ c_plan_identity_management.html 10. On the next screen, click Search, and select at least one user ID from the Available list and move it to Selected using >> 11. Repeat steps 8 and 9, for the following groups: JazzDWAdmins, JazzUsers, and JazzGuests 12. Check all the check boxes under All Authenticated and then click Next 13. In Step 9 click Finish and click Save 14. The jazz.war is now installed and will have a red cross shown under Application Status 15. Restart the WebSphere Application Server to use the changes you made to the JVM properties. The Jazz Team Server application should start automatically when you restart the WebSphere Application Server.

Part 4: Verifying the installation


Complete the following steps to ensure the application is installed and set up properly: 1. The WebSphere Application Server logs provide helpful informational messages and error messages related to the Jazz Team Server. First verify that the correct

IBM Rational Team Concert for i Installation Guide

JVM is being used by this application server instance. For example, navigate to /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V61/ND/profiles/default/logs/server1 and check the SystemOut.log. Verify that J9VM is initiated by ensuring the first lines of the log include text that refers to the IBM J9 JVM. Your log should be similar to the following:
Java version = J2RE 1.5.0 IBM J9 2.3 OS400 ppc-32 j9vmap3223-20080315 (JIT enabled) J9VM - 20080314_17962_bHdSMr JIT - 20080130_0718ifx2_r8 GC - 200802_08, Java Compiler = j9jit23, Java VM name = IBM J9

2. Access the Jazz Team Server administrative Web interface using the secure port associated with the application server virtual host to which you installed the jazz_war application. In a default application server, this is port 9443. Use this port to access the Jazz Team Server administrative Web interface to verify the server status using a Web browser with the following URL: https://yourServer.com:yourSecurePort/jazz/admin. Log in with a user ID that has JazzAdmins permission and verify that the Server Status summary does not show error messages. Note: If you are unsure of the secure port used for your WebSphere Application Server profile, you can determine the port from the IBM i HTTP Server Administration, which you can access at http://yourSystem:2001/ HTTPAdmin. Click the Manage tab, ->Application Servers and select your WebSphere Application Server profile. Click Server Ports in the left menu. The Secure HTTP port is where the Jazz server will be available. Use this port as the secure port to access the Jazz Team Server.

Completing the installation


After the server is installed, you must consider some configuration options before continuing. v Some files contain passwords. Those files should be protected so that they are readable only by users authorized to know the password for the accounts. The Jazz Team Server requires that the database password is stored in JazzInstallDir/server/teamserver.properties. When properties files are saved, the application always makes a backup copy of the previous version in the same directory. If you want to remove all files that contain the clear-text password, remove the backup properties files after configuring the server for the first time. v If you configured the application server to use ports other than the defaults, these ports should also be configured in the Jazz configuration. These port numbers are used for composing URLs for things like feed links and item links in email notifications. To update the defaults, use the advanced properties configuration page of the Admin Web UI to modify the following properties:
com.ibm.team.repository.servlet.internal.ServletConfigurationService

- Repository HTTP port - Repository HTTPS port


com.ibm.team.repository.service.internal.webuiInitializer .ConfigPropertyInitializer

- URL HTTP Port - URL HTTPS Port You are now ready to connect to the server with the Rational Team Concert client or a Web browser.

Chapter 5. Setting up the build engine


Complete the following steps to set up the build engine on IBM i: 1. Download the Build System Toolkit zip RTC-BuildSystemToolkit-on-i1.0Beta1.zip to an integrated file system (IFS) location on IBM i where you want to run the Jazz Build Engine. For example, /QIBM/UserData/RTCi/V1/ Build. 2. Unzip the file by completing the following steps: a. From the Main Menu, type the qsh command. b. Once you are in QShell, using the cd command, change to the directory where you downloaded the Build System Toolkit zip file c. Use the jar command to unzip the file. For example,
jar xf RTC-BuildSystemToolkit-on-i-1.0Beta1.zip

3. 4.

5.

6.

d. You should now have a jazz directory containing the build engine Change your directory to jazz\buildsystem\buildengine\eclipse. If you have extracted the .zip file to a different directory than /QIBM/UserData/RTCi/V1/Build, then edit jbe.qsh to update the BUILD_ECLIPSE variable to point to your specific directory. Use the Rational Team Concert client to define a build engine. See Lesson 8: Team Builds in the tutorial, Getting Started with Rational Team Concert at https://jazz.net/jazzdocs/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.team.concert.tutorial.doc/ topics/tut_rtc_build.html. Start the build engine using the following command:
jbe.qsh -repository REPOSITORYURI -engineID ENGINENAME -userId USERNAME -pass PASSWORD

For example:
./jbe.qsh -repository https://elcrtp21.rtp.raleigh.ibm.com:9444/ jazz -engineID MY_ENGINE -userId JOHNDOE -pass pas1wrd1

7. Look for the following text to indicate a successful startup:


> ./jbe.qsh -repository https://elcrtp21.rtp.raleigh.ibm.com:9444/jazz -engineID MY_ENGINE -userId JOHNDOE -pass pas1wrd1 BUILD_ECLIPSE=<yourDirectory>/jazz/buildsystem/ buildengine/eclipse osgi> 2008-07-01 17:13:13 [Jazz build engine] Running build loop... 2008-07-01 17:13:13 [Jazz build engine] Waiting for request...

Restriction: You must leave this window open for as long as you need the build engine to build. If you get an error message like, cd: 001-0008 Error found changing to directory ..., you have the incorrect directory specified for BUILD_ECLIPSE in jbe.qsh. You have now set up the Jazz Build Engine on IBM i. Note: When this Jazz Build Engine instance processes build requests, the builds are executed under the authority of the user profile that was used to start the engine. As a result, it is possible for users to request builds specifying
