console.
- Click .
- Click New Enterprise Application.
- Select Local file system, then click Browse and
select the server setup application (com.ibm.ram.repository.setup.web.ear)
file on your file system.
- Click Next.
- Select Show me all installation options and
parameters.
- Click Next until you reach Step
2: Map modules to servers section (or click that step directly).
- Map the module to your cluster:
- Select the com.ibm.ram.repository.setup.web module
in the table.
- From the Clusters and servers list,
select the cluster where you want to deploy the server setup application.
(Later, you will use the server setup application to deploy all the
other applications to this cluster.)
- Click Apply.
- Click Next until you reach Step

directly).
- Note the Context Root value. You
can change it, or accept the default of ram.setup.

- Click Finish.
- After the application installs, click Save directly
to the master configuration. While saving the
configuration, synchronize the configuration with the nodes where
you intend to use to run the application. To synchronize a node manually,
on the page, verify that
the node is running; then, on the page, select the node and
click Synchronize.
- Click .
- Select com.ibm.ram.repository.setup.web.ear and click Start.
- If you access Rational Asset Manager without
a web server front end, skip this step. If you access Rational Asset Manager through
the IIS or Apache server:
- In the navigation pane, click .
- Click Web Servers.
- Select the web server name and click Generate
Plug-in. (If the web server plug-in has not been created,
see Installing web server plug-ins.)

the Rational Asset Manager Server
application can be referenced through the installed web server.
- Configure the application
security and authentication settings:
- Click Security.
- Click Global security.
- In the Administrative Security section, if the Enable
administrative security checkbox is selected, select the Enable
application security checkbox.
- Click Apply.
- In the Messages window, click Save directly

- Stop, and then restart WebSphere Application Server
and web servers.
- To access the Rational Asset Manager server
setup application, use the following URLs:
- If you use a web server, type http://machine_name/ram.setup/ .
For example, http://www.example.com/ram.setup/
- If you do not use a web server, type http://machine_name:port/ram.setup/.
For example, http://www.example.com:13080/ram.setup/(Use
the port number for the Default Host that is defined in Virtual Hosts
under Environment in the navigation pane.)
- Now you can use the server setup application to deploy
the other application files and configure your system. See Deploying and configuring application files by using the server setup application.
