Getting started: Server and repository administrator

If you manage the IBM® Rational® Quality Manager Jazz™ server these tasks can get you started.

Procedure

  1. If you have data to preserve from an earlier version of Rational Quality Manager, export the data from the earlier version.
  2. Install Rational Quality Manager.
  3. Import the data that you exported from an earlier version of Rational Quality Manager in Step 1.
  4. Install Rational Quality Manager Custom Reporting.
    Tip: You can perform this step now or wait until after you configure the Rational Quality Manager server.
  5. Complete all necessary post-installation tasks, such as setting up IBM WebSphere® Application Server.

    To start the server, click Start > All Programs > IBM Rational Quality Manager 2.0 > Start IBM Rational Quality Manager Server.

    The first time that you log in to the server, the Jazz Team Server Setup wizard starts automatically. The Setup wizard completes several important functions, such as setting up the user registry and creating the default Quality Manager project area. See Running the Jazz Team Server Setup wizard.

    Note: If you need to start the wizard later, type https://rqm_server:9443/jazz/setup/.
