Optional tasks for Rational RequisitePro

Windows The projects available to the Rational® RequisitePro® adapter are the same as the projects listed in the RequisiteWeb project catalog. You can verify that the Rational RequisitePro adapter is correctly configured to access the same projects as the Rational RequisitePro client. You can configure the Rational RequisitePro adapter to access another project, or prevent the adapter from accessing a project. These tasks are optional, administrative tasks.
Before you begin
Make sure the IBM® Rational Insight Data Services adapters are deployed on WebSphere® Application Server.
About this task
The general tasks for configuring the Rational RequisitePro adapter are:
Verifying that the Rational RequisitePro adapter is installed correctly
  1. Open a Web browser.
  2. Enter the URL of the Rational RequisitePro adapter in the address bar of the browser. By default, the URL is http://localhost:9080/DataServices/RequisitePro.
If the Rational RequisitePro adapter is working correctly, you see an XML document that lists all the projects configured for access.
Note: If you see other resources, you repeat this step with the URLs for those resources, and see lists of packages, requirements, and views.
Adding a project
Note: All Rational RequisitePro projects that you can access through the adapter are listed in the project catalog file, catalog.txt. If Rational Insight Data Services is deployed on the same server as RequisiteWeb, the same set of projects as listed in the catalog.txt file is used by both applications; if RequisiteWeb is installed, the default location of the catalog file is RATIONAL_INSTALL_DIR\RequisitePro\ReqWeb\projects.
  1. Use a text editor to open the catalog.txt file.
  2. Add a new line containing the fully qualified path to the rqs file of the project to be added. Example:
    C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\RequisitePro\samples\Learning_Project-Use_Cases\LEARNING - USE CASES.RQS
  3. Save and close the file.
Removing a project
  1. Use a text editor to open the catalog.txt file.
  2. Delete the line containing the fully qualified path to the rqs file of the project to be deleted. Example:
    C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\RequisitePro\samples\Learning_Project-Use_Cases\LEARNING - USE CASES.RQS
  3. Save and close the file.
