Rational Requirements Composer 3.0.1.1
About the download: Rational Team Concert, Rational Quality Manager, and Rational Requirements Composer share a common installer that deploys the shared Jazz Team Server plus the "Change and Configuration Management", "Quality Management", and "Requirements Management" applications. The trial licenses that are installed in the Jazz Team Server provide access to the capabilities of all three products. This means that you can install any of the three products to enable the full set of collaborative lifecycle management capabilities provided by all the products. To learn more about applications, capabilities and product license keys, read the Building products from applications blog post.

1Plan and prepare
Read the release notes to find out about known issues with this milestone build.
Consult the system requirements to find out about supported platforms and memory requirements.
To get started quickly with a small deployment using the default topology and Derby databases, skip to the next step and install the server. Derby deployments are limited to 10 users and do not permit cross-domain reports.
For advanced deployments, first read the Interactive Installation Guide to plan your deployment. Then visit the Optional Programs page to obtain programs such as DB2, WebSphere Application Server and Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence.
Are you upgrading?
Instructions for applying the service release to 3.0.1 and upgrading from an earlier release of Rational Requirements Composer can be found on the Upgrading tab.
2Install the server and applications
To perform a web install of the server and early access licenses for Rational Team Concert, Rational Quality Manager, and Rational Requirements Composer, download the Web Installer for your platform (above), unzip the zip file, and run the appropriate executable. The server includes Apache Derby for supporting up to 10 users. To enable more than 10 users, install DB2 or another supported database program.
If you need to install the server in an environment without access to the Internet, visit the All Downloads page and download and unzip the files for the the Jazz Team Server and CCM, QM and RM applications repository and the trial product licenses repository, and install using Installation Manager.
Note: During the installation process you have the option to install different applications. It is possible to only install a subset of the applications. These options are for advanced install scenarios such as distributing the applications across multiple servers or deploying multiple applications of the same type within an application group.
