Rational Programming Patterns

Uploading to the Rational Team Concert server

To carry out this task, you must have the administrative rights that are required to create project areas and users.

Before you begin

Before starting the uploading process, you must get the file that defines the encoding rules and the line delimiters that are used upon the first deliver action. You must then get the magic.properties file in the ...\rpp\properties directory and put it in the jazz-scm directory. For more information about this file, see jazz.net.

Procedure

  1. Prepare the Rational Team Concert™ environment
    Important: All the Rational Team Concert notions that mentioned here are explained in the Rational Team Concert help.

    To prepare the Rational Team Concert environment to receive the migration data, you must carry out the following tasks:

    1. Open the Work Items perspective in Rational Team Concert.
    2. Create a Jazz™ repository connection.
    3. Create a project area from the Jazz repository connection. This project area defines the project deliverables, team structure, process, and schedule.
    4. Create a team area to which you must add the migration user. Assign this user the role that enables configuration management (permission on source control management actions such as Check-in and Deliver)
    5. Create a stream to store the artifacts. The team members will then be able to deliver their own changes to the stream and accept changes from other team members into their repository workspaces from the stream.
  2. Share the projects of the local workspace

    To upload data to the server, use the scmtools_entries.bat file that is created upon import. This file is in the .metadata folder of your local workspace or in the location that is indicated in the rpp --automaticMigration command. This file contains all the parameters setting lines, the command lines to create a repository workspace associated with the stream, and the command lines to upload the data to the stream. To use this file, you must first set the parameters lines.

    Important: The workspace that is used to upload the data to the server cannot be reused after the upload.

    You can also manually carry out these operations by opening a command prompt and entering the command lines to upload the data to the Rational Team Concert server.

    Important: All the tasks explained here are carried out with the Rational Team Concert source control command lines. However, these tasks can also be carried out from the graphical interface of the Work Items perspective. See the Rational Team Concert help for explanations.
    Edit the scmtoolsEntries.bat file to modify the settings of the command lines parameters.
    Table 1. List of the parameters setting lines
    Batch command lines to enter Explanations
    SET path="C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\scmtools\eclipse";%PATH% Path of the Eclipse directory that contains the scmtools
    SET jazz_wsp=WksRef Name of the repository workspace
    SET jazz_id=user Migration user (defined in Jazz)
    SET jazz_uri=https://uri:9443/ccm/ Repository URI (entered when a Jazz repository connection is created from the Team Artifacts view)
    SET project_area="project area" Name of the project area with which the components are to be associated
    SET jazz_Stream=StreamMigr Name of the stream that is used for the migration
    SET Snapshot=snapshot Snapshot name
    SET Comment="xx" Comment on the change set
    SET LocalWS=C:\xxxx Name of the local workspace

    The command file performs the following actions:

    1. Connecting to Rational Team Concert

      lscm login -r %jazz_uri% -n Batch -u %jazz_id% -c

    2. Creating a repository workspace associated with the stream

      scm create ws -u %jazz_id% -P %jazz_pw% -r %jazz_uri% -s "%jazz_Stream%" "%jazz_wsp%"

    3. Uploading the data to the stream

      The following actions must be carried out for each project that is created by the import:

      1. Creating a component

        Creation of the component that will contain the project originating from the Pacbase Library or the COBOL sources, and modification of the properties of this component.

        lscm create comp -r %jazz_uri% "%Component%" "%jazz_wsp%"
        lscm component propertyset visibility public "%Component%" -r %jazz_uri%
        lscm component propertyset ownedby %project_area% "%Component%"  -r %jazz_uri%
      2. Sharing the project

        Sharing of the project in the component, creation of a change set, and checkin.

        lscm share  -r %jazz_uri% "%jazz_wsp%" "%Component%" "%LocalLWS%\%Component%"
        lscm create cs --component "%Component%" -r %jazz_uri% -w "%jazz_wsp%" %Comment%
        lscm checkin "%LocalLWS%\%Component%"
    4. Delivering all the modifications

      lscm deliver -q -r %jazz_uri% -d %LocalLWS% -s "%jazz_wsp%"

    5. Creating a snapshot

      lscm create ss -r %jazz_uri% "%jazz_Stream%" -n "%Snapshot%"

    6. Logging out

      lscm logout -r %jazz_uri%

    7. Stopping the daemon

      scm daemon stop "%LocalLWS%"

  3. Building the server indexes

    In the Work Items perspective, you must select the created streams in order for them to be scanned. In the Team Artifacts view, under your project area, select Enterprise Extensions > Source Code Data > Select Streams for Scanning.

    Each time these streams are updated, the server indexes are created, if necessary.

    To build the indexes for the first time, select Reset Source Code Data, available in the same menu as Select Streams for Scanning.

    Important: This step can be very long. You must then modify the connection parameter of the Rational Team Concert server to avoid any timeout. To do so, right-click your repository connection in the Team Artifacts view. On the Jazz repository connection page, enter 0 in the Connection timeout (in seconds) field. Click OK.
  4. Processing other Pacbase contexts

    The scmtoolsEntries script can be used to upload several contexts. You must verify that the value of the advanced property Encourage component names to be unique was changed to true, as it is indicated in the Rational® Programming Patterns installation guide.
