Installing Rational Project Conductor on an existing Jazz Team Server instance

If you are using other products that are based on the Jazz™ Team Server, such as IBM® Rational Team Concert™, you can install IBM Rational® Project Conductor on the existing Jazz Team Server instance. In this installation scenario, Rational Project Conductor and the existing Jazz-based product share a common data repository.

Before you begin

  1. Obtain the installation media or download the installation package from https://jazz.net. To complete the download, you must register and obtain a user name and password from https://jazz.net
  2. Stop the Jazz Team Server and back up the existing database to protect your environment against data loss during the installation. If the installation is unsuccessful, you can restore this database backup.

About this task

Complete the installation by using IBM Installation Manager, and then verify the installation.
