Connecting to a Rational ProjectConsole repository

Rational ProjectConsole Maintenance Tool Help  

If you use the Maintenance Tool to connect to a new or existing Rational ProjectConsole repository other than the one to which you are currently connected, you must first remove generated reports that have been stored in the Rational ProjectConsole report cache.

To connect to an existing repository:

  1. On the Rational ProjectConsole server, click Start > Programs > IBM Rational Software > IBM Rational ProjectConsole > ProjectConsole Maintenance Tool > .
  2. Click Connect to a ProjectConsole repository.
  3. Click Next.
  4. From the Connect to repository list, select the repository to which you want to connect. In the Data warehouse information pane, read-only information about repository databases is displayed. You cannot modify the displayed values.
  5. To proceed to connect to the selected repository, click Finish.
  6. If you have Rational ProjectConsole agents (machines running only the report server and collection agent components) set up independent of the server, perform the following tasks on each agent:
    • Start your Microsoft Computer Management console.
    • Restart the following services:
      • Rational ProjectConsole Collection Server
      • Rational ProjectConsole Dashboard Server
      • Rational ProjectConsole Report Server
After this, a user who logs in to Rational ProjectConsole sees the Web site described in the selected repository to which you are connected.
Note: You cannot use this page to connect to a repository from a previous version of Rational ProjectConsole. If you have data that was collected using an earlier version of Rational ProjectConsole, you must migrate the data to a new repository before you can connect to it.
