Lesson 1.3: Install sample data

After you set up your sample team and users, you are ready to install the sample data. The sample data provides predefined lab management artifacts, such as lab resources and test environments.
Note: If another user completed this tutorial and altered the sample data, you can complete the following steps to reinstall a clean set of sample data.

To install the sample data:

  1. If the server is not running, start the server:
    1. In Windows®, click Start > All Programs > IBM Rational Quality Manager > Start IBM Rational Quality Manager Server.
    2. In Linux®, click Applications > IBM Rational Quality Manager > Start IBM Rational Quality Manager Server.
    Note: You know that the server is running when the message, INFO: Server startup, is displayed in the server log window.
  2. When the server is running, open Rational® Quality Manager in a browser:
    1. In Windows, click Start > All Programs > IBM Rational Quality Manager > IBM Rational Quality Manager.
    2. In Linux, click Applications > IBM Rational Quality Manager > IBM Rational Quality Manager.
  3. Log in as the administrator (Userid: RQMADMIN, Password: RQMPW) when prompted with the login dialog box.
    Note: If you restarted the server after creating a project area, select the project area, RQM Sample, from the list, and click OK.
  4. Open a command prompt, and change to the directory that contains the sample script:
    1. In Windows, go to C:\Program Files\IBM\RQM201\samples\classics.
    2. In Linux, go to /opt/IBM/RQM201\samples\classics.
  5. Run the installation script:
    1. In Windows, type install_samples.bat /a project /s https://localhost:9443/ /u RQMADMIN /p RQMPW

      where project is the name of your project area, localhost is the host name of your server, and 9443 is the port number.

      Tip: If the name of your project area contains spaces, replace each space with a plus sign (+). For instance, RQM Sample is RQM+Sample. Here are some examples of the installation script:
      • An installation script using the default project area: install_samples.bat /s https://localhost:9443/ /u RQMADMIN /p RQMPW
      • An installation script with no spaces in the project area name: install_samples.bat /a RQMSample /s https://localhost:9443/ /u RQMADMIN /p RQMPW
      • An installation script with spaces in the project area name: install_samples.bat /a RQM+Sample /s https://localhost:9443/ /u RQMADMIN /p RQMPW
    2. In Linux, type install_samples.sh -a project -s https://localhost:9443/ -u RQMADMIN -p RQMPW

      where project is the name of your project area, localhost is the host name of your server, and 9443 is the port number.

      Tip: If the name of your project area contains spaces, replace each space with a plus sign (+). For instance, RQM Sample is RQM+Sample.
      • An installation script using the default project area: install_samples.sh -s https://localhost:9443/ -u RQMADMIN -p RQMPW
      • An installation script with no spaces in the project area name: install_samples.sh -a RQMSample -s https://localhost:9443/ -u RQMADMIN -p RQMPW
      • An installation script with spaces in the project area name: install_samples.sh -a RQM+Sample -s https://localhost:9443/ -u RQMADMIN -p RQMPW
    Note: Installing the sample data might take a few minutes.
  6. The artifacts are created in the repository. To view the artifacts, complete the following steps.
    Tip: If you are in the Admin page from the previous lesson, click Back to Rational Quality Manager in the upper, left corner to return to the dashboard.
    1. To see the lab resources, point to the Lab Management icon (Lab Management), and click View Lab Resources. The View Lab Resources editor opens.
    2. To see the test environments, point to the Lab Management icon (Lab Management), and click All Test Environments. The All Test Environments editor opens.
  7. Log out as administrator.
