With the
IBM® Rational® Insight
Data Services installer,
you can install
IBM WebSphere® Application
Server 6.1.0.21 and
then install the adapters for the data sources such as IBM Rational ClearCase® and IBM Rational ClearQuest®. If you want to,
you can install the adapters on an existing instance of
WebSphere Application
Server 6.1.0.21.
About this task
The installer installs a new instance of
IBM WebSphere Application
Server 6.1.0.21 and then
installs the adapters for
Rational Insight
Data Services.
Note: If
you have more than one system that hosts the products you want to
report on, you must repeat these steps for each system.
- Start the launchpad.exe file.
- Read the release information and ensure you have read the
installation document.
- To begin the installation, click Install IBM
Rational Insight Data Services. Select Rational
Insight Data Services, and click Next.
- Read the license agreements and if you accept, click I
accept the terms in the license agreement, and click Next.
- Select Create a new package group,
and click Next. By default, the files are placed
in the C:/Program Files/IBM/Rational Insight directory.
- Select the adapters you want to install, and click Next.
- In the Select an application server list:
- If you want to deploy the data service to a new instance of WebSphere Application Server, select New
installation of WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.21.
- If you want to deploy the data service to an existing instance
of WebSphere Application Server,
select Existing instance of WebSphere Application Server
6.1.x.
Click Next.
- For each of the selected adapters, specify the location
of the product data and click Next. Because Rational Insight
Data Services needs
to be installed on all the systems where the product data resides,
you might need to specify the location for only one adapter during
one installation cycle.
- Click Install.
- When the installation is over, click Finish.
- Stop the server.
- Use the Windows® service
to start the server. Click , right-click IBM WebSphere Application Server
V6.1 - IBM Rational Insight, and click Start.
Results
To confirm that the data service application is running, open
a Web browser and in the address bar, type
http://localhost:port/DataServices/,
where
port is the WAS instance port for HTTP. If
Rational Insight
Data Services is
working correctly, you see an XML document describing each of the
installed adapters. If you installed a new instance of
WebSphere Application Server and the
default
WebSphere Application Server port
was used, the URL is
http://localhost:9080/DataServices/.
