Installing process packages

After you have installed IBM® Rational® Change, you must install a process package. Installing a package makes that package active on the server. Unless a process package is installed, you can log on only as Admin.

Before you begin

You can have only one process package active, and only one process package can be installed at a time. Therefore, you must uninstall any installed process package before installing a new one. No such restriction applies to non-process packages.

Installing a process package invalidates all sessions that are currently running. Therefore, ask users to log off before you install a process package.

Also, if the process package contains report definitions, installing a process package may result in multiple packages being installed.

Procedure

  • To install a process package:

    1. Ensure that you have the ccm_admin privilege for all databases in the installation.

      If you are using traditional database privileges, you can install a process package only if you have the ccm_admin privilege for all databases in the installation. In central server mode, you must have the ccm_admin privilege in the central CR database.

      1. On the Action Panel, click User Management.
      2. Click the User tab.
      3. Click your user name, and then view the privileges.
    2. Start a Rational Change session, logged on to the Admin interface as a user with the ccm_admin privilege.
    3. On the Action Panel, click System Administration.
    4. In the System Administration button bar, click the Package Installer tab.
    5. In the Package Scope box, click a listed package type to show only those types.
    6. In the Available Packages box, click the package to install (for example, dev_process).
    7. Click Install to install the package and back up any conflicting files.
