Specific licenses for the Rational Programming Patterns web client
The Rational® Programming Patterns instances that are contained in a Rational Team Concert™ project area can be seen through the Rational Programming Patterns web client only if the user has the appropriate licenses. The RPP tab is included in the menu bar of the Rational Team Concert web client only if these licenses are active.
A Rational Programming Patterns Web UI license must be assigned to each user who wants to access the Rational Programming Patterns web interface. A Rational Team Concert license higher than or equal to the contributor license is also required.
To manage these licenses, you must log in to the Jazz™ Team Server Administration page. Follow the explanations in Managing licenses in the Rational Team Concert.
Then, you just need a web browser.
If you want to test the web client, you must activate its trial key. You can access this key after the installation of the Rational Programming Patterns server because the plugins that are required to operate the web client are included in the server installation package. A compressed folder RPP_WebClient_vnn_Trial_Activation.zip (where nn is the version number) is then available in the Jazz Team Server installation directory, under server/rpp. The compressed folder contains the trial key. To know how to activate it, read the client_access_activation_key_readme.txt file that is included in the folder.
For explanations about how to use the web client, see The web client in the Rational Programming Patterns Knowledge Center.
