You can create a library that is accessible in both IBM® Rational® Publishing Engine and IBM Rational RequisitePro®,
and then associate the shared libraries with the Data Services application profile.
Procedure
- To create a shared library for the Rational RequisitePro adapter:
- To view the shared libraries window, click .
- Specify the scope setting, select the Node=RationalPublishingEngineNode01,
Server=RationalPublishingEngineServer entry. These
names are the default names of the node and the server.
- To create the shared library reference, click New.
- Set the values for Name, Description,
and ClassPath. Make sure that your class path
refers to the files in their correct locations.

Description |
The shared library for the Rational RequisitePro adapter. |
Class path |
C:\Program Files\IBM Rational\RequisitePro\lib\proxies.jar C:\Program
Files\IBM Rational\common\RJCB.jar
|
Note: The default values listed under substep (d) are for
the Rational RequisitePro 7.0
and 7.0.1. The actual paths used for the classpath entries depend
on where Rational RequisitePro is
installed. Make sure that your classpath refers to the files in their
correct locations. To see the installation location for version 7.1,
open IBM Installation Manager
by clicking .
- Click OK, and then click Save. The shared library is created.
- To associate Rational RequisitePro shared
libraries with the Data Services application profile:
- Click .
- Click the server on which you deployed the Data Services application.
The default server name is RationalPublishingEngineServer.
- Click .
- To create a class loader for the shared libraries, click .
- To associate the shared library references with the
class loader, click the hyperlink of the new class loader created
in substep (d).
- Click Shared library references.
- For each library that must be associated, click Add,
select the library, and then click OK.
- Click Save.
- Restart the Data Services application profile.
- Verify that the Rational RequisitePro adapter
is installed correctly: Enter the URL of the Rational RequisitePro adapter
in a browser. By default, the URL is http://host:port/DataServices/RequisitePro.
Note: You
can find the port number from the administrative console. If the installation
is correct, you see an XML document that lists the schema repositories
that are registered with the Rational RequisitePro administration
tool.
What to do next
You must create an entry for each RequisitePro project in
catalog.txt,
which can be located in
installation_directory\RequisitePro\ReqWeb\projects.
Use a full path for projects on the local server and a UNC (Universal
Naming Convention) path to the shared folder containing the
.rqs file.
