Installing the Rational solution for systems and software engineering from the launchpad

A subset of the Rational® solution for systems and software engineering can be installed using a launchpad available on Jazz™.net.
This launchpad provides multiple options for installing the following applications: Rational DOORS, and Rational Rhapsody are not part of the launchpad and must be installed separately if needed.

Express Install

The Express® Install option helps you to quickly install the applications to a single Jazz Team server. This provides a simple way of creating an evaluation installation of the Rational solution for systems and software engineering

  1. Download the launchpad from the Rational solution for systems and software engineering Downloads page of Jazz.net.
  2. Run the launchpad, and select Install the Server.
  3. Select Express Installation. This will launch Installation Manager with the following applications selected:
    • Change and Configuration Management (Rational Team Concert)
    • Configuration Management
    • Design Management for IBM® Rational Rhapsody
    • Jazz Team Server
    • Quality Management (Rational Quality Manager)
    • Requirements Management (DOORS Next Generation)
    • Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager
    • Trial keys for the selected applications
  4. Follow the prompts to install the applications and their trial licenses.
  5. When the installation is complete, return to the launchpad and select Install the Clients.
  6. Select to install the Rational Rhapsody client. Complete the installation of the client in Installation Manager.

Custom Install

The launchpad can also be used as a starting point for installing more complex installation topologies using the Custom Install option. This will allow you to install any of the above applications and the Jazz team server to a single application server, or distributed across multiple application servers.

To determine which configuration meets your needs, read the section of the CLM installation guide titled Planning the deployment and installation

Installing samples

The Money that Matters sample which accompanies CLM can be set up as described here: Installing the Money that Matters sample. Once it is installed you must set up your environment, including assigning licenses to users as described in: Configuring the Money that Matters sample environment

Restriction: The Money that Matters Lifecycle Scenario is designed to work with IBM Rational Software Architect Design Management Server, not Rhapsody Design Manager. If Rhapsody Design Manager is registered with the Jazz Team Server during the "Register Applications" step, then Rhapsody Design Manager is automatically contributed and Money that Matters sample creation fails. Using the web UI you can manually deselect Design Manager from the list of applications contributing to the sample.
