ProjectConsole Maintenance
Tool Help
If the site is going to access tree node properties or source templates/tasks paths on remote machines using UNC paths, you need to change the Rational Services Log On information. By default, the services are running as the Local System user. The services must be configured to run as a domain user with access to the correct remote machine. To do that, go to the Services panel and, for each Rational service, change the log on information to use the appropriate domain user.
If you are running collections from ClearQuest databases, then you must re-establish the connection to these databases. Run ClearQuest Maintenance Tool, click Connection > New, and provide the connection information. Alternately, if you have already saved the ClearQuest connection information in a profile, then you can use File > Import to import the necessary ClearQuest profiles. This will also establish the connection to the ClearQuest databases.
Log into the migrated ProjectConsole site.
Check all the navigation tree nodes on the main page, and fix the broken ones.
In the 2003 version of ProjectConsole, no default icon is used for tree nodes when the specified icon is not found. When an icon for a tree node is not found, an X is shown in place of the icon. Fix the path to the icon and it will be displayed correctly.
Check all published views. The 2003.06 version of ProjectConsole has new sample published views. To remove published views, delete the files in the following directory: \\Rational\common\rwp\webapps\projectconsole\PublishedViews\Dashboard\ClassicsCD.com Projects
If you have templates that reference the jakarta-tomcat\webapps location (using the FileSystem domain) with an absolute path value, then you must modify these path values in Rational ProjectConsole Template Builder to reference the new location under ~Rational\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\ProjectConsole. We recommend making use of PJC_WEBPATH environment variable, instead of using an absolule path.
Any template that reference GIF files using the FileSystem domain OPEN command must be modified in ProjectConsole Template Builder. GIF files are not supported and must converted to PNG or JPG format and the OPEN command must be updated to refer to the reformatted file.
Note: If the migrated warehouse does not include a user with user ID "admin," then the 2003 version of ProjectConsole will add this user and assign it the password "changeit." This user ID cannot be deleted, renamed or suspended, only its password can be changed. We recommend that this password be changed for security.
