Use these instructions to deploy the Rational® Adapter for Git web application on an IBM® WebSphere® Application Server.

Before you begin

Make sure the WebSphere Application Server is started, see Starting an application server.

About this task

Note: For Linux On UNIX, if WebSphere Application Server is installed in a non-root environment, the user who deploys the Rational Adapter for Git web application must have read and write access to the installation directory and all subdirectories.

Procedure

  1. Open the Admin console for the WebSphere Application Server.
  2. Click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications.
  3. Select the check box next to gitAdapter_war; click Start. A green arrow indicates that the application started.
  4. Point your browser to https://[fully qualified hostname]:[port]/gitAdapter. Login to the Rational Adapter for Git server by using an account that has administrator privileges.
    Tip: You can find the port number used for your application server from the administrative console. Click Servers > Server Types > WebSphere Application Servers > server_ name > Ports. Look for the value for the port name WC_defaulthost if you are using an HTTP Transport Port or the value for the port name WC_defaulthost_secure if you are using an HTTPS Transport Secure Port.
