Systems and Software Engineering (SSE) Solution 4.0.3
Getting started with the Rational solution for systems and software engineering
About the download: The Rational solution for systems and software engineering (SSE) is an integrated solution that helps teams specify, design, implement, and validate complex products and the software that powers them. The solution offers an integrated set of capabilities that enables you to predictably deliver competitive, high-quality products while meeting regulatory and compliance requirements.
The following functions and products are included in the solution for SSE:
- Requirements engineering with Rational DOORS Next Generation: Solicit, engineer, document, and trace requirements. Help your stakeholders define what they want, help them get it, and help your teams deliver when change inevitably occurs.
- Architecture design and modeling with Rational Rhapsody and Rational Rhapsody Design Manager: Use visual modeling to validate requirements, derive architectures, and build embedded and real-time software.
- Project management with Rational Team Concert: Integrate planning and execution, automate workflows, and manage change across diverse engineering disciplines and development teams.
- Quality management and testing with Rational Quality Manager: Use collaborative quality planning, automated testing, and defect management to achieve quality by design.

Plan and prepare
For known issues with this release, see the release notes.
For supported platforms and requirements, see the system requirements.
To get started quickly with a small deployment by using the default topology and Apache Derby databases, go to the next step and install the server. Apache Derby deployments are limited to 10 users and do not support cross-domain reports.
Upgrading: If you plan to upgrade an existing deployment, see the Upgrading page.

Install the server and applications
To perform a web installation of the server, download the web installer for your platform (see the previous section), extract the .zip file, and start the launchpad (launchpad.exe or launchpad.sh, depending on your platform). The server includes Apache Derby to support up to 10 users. To enable more than 10 users, install DB2 or another supported database program.
To perform an installation from the launchpad, see this online help topic.
If you need to install the server in an environment without access to the Internet, visit the All Downloads page, download a repository for the server and trial licenses, and install by using IBM Installation Manager.
Note: During the installation process, you have the option to install different applications. You do not have to install all of them; you can install only a subset of the applications. These options are for advanced installation scenarios, such as distributing the applications across multiple servers or deploying multiple applications of the same type within an application group.
For information about installing and managing client access licenses, see Managing client access licenses.

Set up the server
After the installation, complete the steps in the Jazz Team Server setup wizard, which is available at https://fully_qualified_host_name:9443/jts/setup (where fully_qualified_host_name is the domain for your server, and 9443 is the default port number).
Additional guidance: For help with the setup wizard, see Running the setup wizard in the information center.

Install the clients
You can perform most tasks with a web browser. The client tools support advanced tasks and optimized workflows for specific roles or jobs, or provide additional functions such as integrations with other systems. Consider downloading and installing the Rational Team Concert, Rational Rhapsody Design Manager, Rational DOORS Next Generation, and Rational Quality Management clients from the All Downloads page.
