Specify an alternate JVM for the Rational Team Concert Client

Question & Answer


Question

How can I use an alternate Java Virtual machine (JVM) to launch the IBM Rational Team Concert Client?

Answer

To specify an alternative Java Virtual machine:

  1. Go to <Rational_TeamConcert_Client_Install_Dir>client/eclipse directory.
  2. Make a backup Copy of the original eclipse.ini file in order to be able to revert back your changes.
  3. Edit the file eclipse.ini.
  4. Replace the line -vm D:\a\TeamConcert\jdk\jre\bin with the path to the alternate JVM:

    -vm <path_to_alternate_jvm>
    Notes: if using a Sun JVM, remove any IBM JVM argument (ex: -Xjit:exclude={com/ibm/team/coverage/internal/common/report/SourceElementInfo.write*}
  5. See attached sample eclipse.ini file below.
  6. Save your changes.
  7. Launch the Rational Team Concert Client.
