Jazz and RTC on Mac!

Hi all,

I have a iMac with OS 10.5.6 (intel) and I'm trying to get Jazz/RTC
running on it. I managed to use the
(https://jazz.net/learn/LearnItem.jsp?href=content/tech-notes/rational-team-concert-1_0-running-on-mac-os-x/index.html)
and it worked fine for the server.
However I tried to get the RTC versions for the Mac and I'm not able
to Deploy the Predefined Templates with the web and eclipse
versions. I get an erros message like:
- at the server i get a 400 error
- with eclipse I get "Problem(s) occurred deploying process
definitions.
CRJAZ1241I There is a version mismatch for the
"com.ibm.team.process" service. The server version is
"8" while the client version is "6". Both client
and server version must match. Check the overall version of the
client using Help->About and ensure it is compatible with server
version "2.0 M2D1" and build id
"I20090122-1459".

OK . My Server version is 2.0 M2D1 (I20090122-1459)
My RTC is Version: 1.0.1 / Build id: M20090115-2000 .

By the way.. I managed to get everything working on my Mac through
Parallels/Windows XP.

I don't believe that a 1.0.1 client is guaranteed to work against a 2.0
server. It looks like the process team has introduced some incompatible
changes into 2.0 and the error message is trying help you notice the
version mismatch.

OK Matt thanks but where do I find a compatible Jazz/RTC for the Mac?

Hi all,

I managed to get everything running. Just download a server for
linux and tweak as per
(https://jazz.net/learn/LearnItem.jsp?href=content/tech-notes/rational-team-concert-1_0-running-on-mac-os-x/index.html).
Then download and run the RTC Jazz for the Mac.

Unfortunately, all the documentation I can find for RTC-for-Mac assumes
that you want to run the prefab "Mac Client", but that appears to be a
3.3 Eclipse version. I'm running Eclipse Ganymede (3.4.x) and would like
to simply install the RTC plugins to my existing Eclipse setup which, in
addition to being 3.4, is also heavily customized. On Windows the
installer gives an option of adding RTC features to your existing
Eclipse environment. I wouldn't expect it to be as polished on the Mac
side, naturally, but is it possible to achieve the same effect in some
manual way? And if so is there any documentation?

I have described the necessary steps for 3.4 in
https://jazz.net:443/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2937

Thanks, Patrick, this is closer but it still (as far as I can tell)
describes only how to build a brand-new, vanilla 3.4 with RTC. Is there
a way to link the RTC plugins to an existing, heavily customized, 3.4
environment? Or am I misunderstanding the instructions?

No, you are right. The instructions describe the vanilla scenario. In
pre-3.4 installations, you could copy the
jazz, emf, gef and dtp folders into your eclipse folder and add the
contents of the links folder to your existing links (or copy the links
folder as well).

I assume that you have a 3.4 with P2 (which I am not familiar with), so
this won't work the same way anymore. You might want to try to add the
RTC *.link files from the links folder to the dropins folder -- but I
have never tried that, and I am not sure what it means for upgrades.
