With the
IBM® Rational® Insight
Data Services installer,
you can install
IBM WebSphere® Application
Server 6.1.0.21 and
then install the adapters of the supported products 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.sh file.
- Read the release information and 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 /opt/ibm/RationalInsight directory.
- Select the adapters you want to install, and click Next.
- In the Select application server list:
- If you want to deploy Data Services to a new instance of WebSphere Application Server, select New
installation of WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.21.
- If you want to deploy Data Services 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.
Results
To confirm that the Data Services 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/
