The Rational Suite Tutorial provides high-level exercises
for learning about the different Suite tools and how they work together. Tutorial
files are based upon a fictional on-line classical CD music store,
ClassicsCD.com. In this tutorial, users
implement a small part of a large development project. Using Rational tools and
processes, they develop requirements, work with a visual model, and test.
The Tutorial
consists of two, separately downloadable components:
1.
Rational Suite Tutorial 2002.05.00 Kit
(files for completing the exercises)
2.
Rational Suite Tutorial Manual 2002.05.00 (instructions for completing the exercises)
To install and run the Rational Suite Tutorial, you must have already installed one or more of the following Suite editions and licenses:
To complete the exercises, you must also have installed:
Before you install the Rational Suite Tutorial v2002.05.00, uninstall any prior version of the tutorial by using the Add/Remove Programs feature available through the Control Panel.
The Rational Suite Tutorial installation requires approximately 22.5 MB of disk space to download the setup application, and an additional 72 MB for the Tutorial files. You may, of course, delete the setup application after completing the installation.
The installation procedure places the Tutorial folders and files in C:\Classics. The files must remain in this location to work properly. Included within the Classics folder and file layout you will find:
All user interaction is accomplished by following the instructions in the Rational Suite Tutorial manual to access the installed files.
The instructions in the manual assume that you are using the tutorial for the first time. If you want to rerun the tutorial, uninstall the tutorial files (by either rerunning the installation program or by using the Add/Remove Programs feature in Windows) and then reinstall the files. However, even if you reinstall and rerun the tutorial, you will find that you do not have to repeat certain steps (for example, registering the Rational Suite Project).
The Web pages supplied with the tutorial are static. You should perform the exercises as noted to achieve expected results in subsequent views of updated pages.
When you first run
the exercises, the tutorial prompts you to install a version of a required Java
Plug-in (JRE v1.3.0.01), even if you already have a version installed on your
computer. This occurs because the version on your computer differs from the
version required by ProjectConsole. Since the JRE installation creates its own
version directory, there is no danger of overwriting a later version of the JRE
should one exist on your system. If you do not install this particular version
of the plug-in, you can still benefit from reading the section, but you will
not be able to perform the exercises.
The Tutorial supplies a master database
(CQMaster.mdb). When you connect to CQMaster.mdb as part of the ClearQuest
exercises, it becomes your official schema repository. If you have been using
ClearQuest and a connection to another schema repository, you will need to
reconnect to it when you are finished with the tutorial.
