Although you cannot deploy IBM® Rational® Team Concert,
which is required for managing the lifecycles of assets in IBM Rational Asset Manager,
to an IBM WebSphere® Application Server cluster,
you can create a single application server instance on your cell for Rational Team Concert.
Before you begin
Restriction: To
create and use a cluster
of application servers, you must have IBM WebSphere Application Server Network
Deployment (ND), which is not bundled with IBM Rational Asset Manager.
If
you already have Rational Team Concert installed
and configured, skip this task.
You must be an WebSphere administrator
to create a new server instance on a cell.
About this task
Important: Only complete this task if you are
using a clustered environment with WebSphere Application Server. If
you are not using a cluster, you can install Rational Asset Manager and Rational Team Concert on
the same application server.
Because you cannot deploy Rational
Team Concert to a cluster, you must create an additional application
server that is separate from your clustered servers. You can then
deploy Rational Team Concert to that server.
You do not need
another machine; you can create a new stand-alone application server
on any individual node in your cell.
Procedure
- In a web browser, log in to the WebSphere Application Server administrative
console. By default, this is located
at:
- For WebSphere Application Server: http://localhost:9060/ibm/console
- In the navigation pane, click and expand .
- Click WebSphere
Application Servers.
- Click New.
- Select a node for the application server.
- Type a name for the application server. For example, ramTeamConcertServer. This name must be different from the names of any other application
servers on the node.
- Click Next.
- Select a server template. For this, you
can
use the default server template.
- Click Next.
- Select Generate unique HTTP ports to
assign a unique port to the new application server.
- Click Next and review the settings
for the new server.
- Click Finish.
- Click Review, select Synchronize
changes with nodes, and then click Save.
What to do next
Your new application server is now configured.
You can
configure it further by clicking the name of the server on page.
You can now use the server setup application
to deploy Rational Team Concert to the new application server.
