The client is distributed as a downloadable .zip file.
Procedure
- Download the client package file.
You should
download the
Rational Team Concert™ client
.zip file.
Note: If you want to install the
client into an existing Eclipse workbench, use the IBM Installation
Manager. The IBM Installation Manager install prompts you for the
workbench you want to extend and takes care of managing future workbench
updates, rollbacks, and modifications
- Install the client distribution. Extract the .zip file
to an installation directory of your choice (for example, /opt/IBM/ on Linux® or c:\IBM on Windows®). Relative to the installation directory
you choose, the client path is JazzInstallDir/client.
- Start the client. On Windows, double-click the eclipse.exe application
in the directory JazzInstallDir\client\eclipse .
On Linux, execute the eclipse file in the directory JazzInstallDir/client/eclipse.
- Connect to the server. The
easiest way to connect to a server is using the Team Invitation. If
you do not have an invitation you can connect manually.
- Click . The wizard guides you through
the process.
Note: If you do not have an invitation you
need the URI or URL from your server admin. (an example format is:
https://example.com:9443/jazz). Click on the connecting
to an existing project area hyperlink that appears in
the bottom right corner of the Accept Team Invitation window.
- Follow the instructions in the wizard to set up your
connection.
Example
Trouble Shooting: Here are some
suggested problem management techniques.
- Start with an empty workspace.
- The client and the server builds must match. Make sure the build
ID's match for both the client and server distributions.
- Make sure the server is up. Confirm using the status URL: https://example.com:9443/jazz.
- On Linux, if you want to start the client from outside of the
directory JazzInstallDir/client/eclipse you
must change each file in JazzInstallDir/client/eclipse/links/
and include the absolute path to the named directory. By default,
relative paths are used. For example, JazzInstallDir/client/eclipse/links/build.link contains
the text "path=jazz/build". If your client is
installed in the directory /home/username/teamconcert, edit the file
to look like "path=/home/username/teamconcert/jazz/client/eclipse/build".
