System Administration dialog box

After you have installed a CR process package, most of your time as an administrator is spent using the System Administration dialog box. This dialog box contains a collection of administrative tools for performing tasks, such as installing packages and maintaining servers.

General

Use the General page to disable the IBM® Rational® Synergy integration, set email configuration settings, change user and group list behavior, update the date and user name formats, reload configuration data, manage default home pages, define the message of the day, and change the Help Server URL.

For steps, see Administering Rational Change.

Server

Use the Server page to configure and tune the server. Databases and hosts can be added, removed, and modified. The session pool properties, including minimum/maximum size and resizing frequency, can be configured. Remote servers and the central server can be registered together. Finally, the Rational Synergy session user (the operating system user who the sessions run as) and password can be set.

For steps, see Managing servers.

Ghost CRs

Use the Ghost CRs page to monitor and administer updates of ghost CRs between central and development databases. These updates are important for CR-based update members through Rational Synergy.

For steps, see Updating out-of-date ghost change requests and Creating available attributes on ghost change requests.

Integrations

Use the Integrations page to configure integrations that require detailed setup.

For steps, see Configuring integrations.

Listbox Manager

Use the Listbox Manager page to set values for most list boxes. You can add and remove values from the list boxes and change the list box type. The available types of list boxes are Simple Listbox, File Listbox, Database Listbox, and Dependent Listbox. Simple list boxes are manually defined list boxes, which are not dependent on any other list box. File list boxes retrieve their values from a file that you specify. Database list boxes use an attribute from the database. Dependent list boxes have values that are dependent on another list box.

For steps, see List box values.

Package Installer

Use the Package Installer page to perform package management. A package is a set of files that change the look and behavior of Rational Change. For instance, a package can contain a collection of reports, or an entire new lifecycle. In addition to package installation and deletion, use the package installer to view information about the package and to see detailed installation logging.

Note: Uninstall packages in the reverse order of their installation.

For steps, see Managing packages.
