Configuring the Rational RequisitePro adapter on Apache Tomcat

To create a shared library, copy the Rational® RequisitePro® libraries to the shared library directory and restart Apache Tomcat server.

Procedure

  1. Copy Rational RequisitePro shared libraries from the Rational RequisitePro application files:

    application_files\IBM\Rational\RequisitePro\lib\proxies.jar
    application_files\IBM\Rational\common\RJCB.jar

    Note: The actual paths to use depend on where and which version of Rational RequisitePro is installed. Make sure that you are referring to the files in their correct locations. To view the location of your Rational RequisitePro installation, check in IBM® Installation Manager by clicking Start > All Programs > IBM Installation Manager > View Installed Packages.
  2. Paste the Rational RequisitePro shared libraries into the Apache Tomcat CATALINA_HOME\lib directory.
  3. If Rational RequisitePro is installed in a location other than the default directory, update the installation path in the Apache Tomcat web.xml file:
    1. Open the CATALINA_HOME\webapps\DataServices\WEB-INF\web.xml file with a text editor.
    2. Locate the parameter VegaDataServices.Adaptor.RequisitePro.CatalogFilePath.
    3. Update the parameter with the correct path on your computer that points to the catalog.txt file. Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\RationalSDLC\RequisitePro\ReqWeb\projects\catalog.txt.
    4. Save the changes.
  4. Restart the Reporting data services application.
  5. Verify that the Rational RequisitePro adapter and libraries are configured correctly. Enter the URL of the Rational RequisitePro adapter in a browser. By default, the URL is http://host:port/DataServices/RequisitePro. If the installation is correct, you see an XML document that lists the schema repositories registered with Rational RequisitePro.
