Packages in IBM Mobile Development Lifecycle Solution

The IBM® Mobile Development Lifecycle Solution delivers its capabilities through a concise set of installable packages that are organized into three main categories from the solution Launchpad.
IBM desktop tools for mobile developers

This package is directed at developers. It includes IBM Worklight Studio version 5.0.5 and Rational Team Concert™ Client for Eclipse IDE version 4.0.1. It is intended to be installed and used by developers on the team who edit, build, deploy, and unit test mobile application source code.

If you are a mobile application developer, install this package on your physical or virtual desktop computer.

IBM Collaborative Lifecycle Management for mobile development teams

This package is directed at team and build administrators. It includes the complete IBM Collaborative Lifecycle Management product which consists of server and client components.

The CLM server is the collaborative hub of a mobile application development team. It consists of the Change and Configuration Management, Requirements Management and Quality Management applications, and the Jazz™ Team Server on which they run. The CLM server is intended to be installed and operated by a team administrator, and to be used by all members of the team.

There are several CLM clients. One of the clients is the Rational Team Concert Build System Toolkit, a set of tools necessary to set up a Rational Team Concert build computer. The Build System Toolkit is intended to be installed and configured for use within Rational Team Concert by a build administrator.
Note: Another of the CLM clients is the Rational Team Concert for Eclipse IDE. This CLM client is already included with IBM Worklight Studio in the IBM desktop tools for mobile developers package. Unless you have a specific reason to install the Rational Team Concert for Eclipse IDE without Worklight Studio, then install the IBM desktop tools for mobile developers package.

If you are the team administrator, install the CLM server on the computers that are designated to host the CLM services. If you are a build administrator, install the Rational Team Concert Build System Toolkit on one or more physical or virtual computers that are designated to run builds.

IBM Worklight Server for mobile development teams
This package is directed at Worklight Server administrators. As part of the IBM Mobile Development Lifecycle Solution, Worklight Server supports integration builds that are run by the Rational Team Concert Build System Toolkit. Worklight Server also:
  • Helps teams share published mobile applications and adapters.
  • Supports integration and quality assurance testing of mobile applications and adapters.

If you are a Worklight Server administrator, install this package on computers that are designated to run the Worklight Server.
