Design Manager install (4.0.4) - missing vvc bits

Hi

We have been installing Design Manager, first into an existing CLM instance (v4.0.4) and now from scratch.  In both cases, once the IM install has completed, we do not see the vvc apps in the Tomcat webapps directory, and the jts/setup fails complaining if cannot find vvc.

This seems to be machine specific - as it works on my machine as a clean install.  The only difference I can think of is  the machine with a problem has RSA v9 on it.

Any ideas

many thanks

Hi Anthony

You will find that if the vvc.war file is not located within the \tomcat\webapps folder, then neither will the vvc folder reside there and neither will there be a vvc folder under C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\conf.

The crux of the matter is that you need to install Configuration Management via Installation Manager, this installs the vvc folders and war files etc.  Thus, not only do you need to install Design Management for IBM Rational Software Architect but you also need to install Configuration Management (this is not Change and Configuration Management)

I hope this helps resolve your installation issue ;-)

Any issues, give me a shout :-D

Best Regards
Jas

Glad you found the solution.

Hi Anthony,


While you are verifying the installation with IBM Installation Manager make sure that you install as well "IBM Rational Software Architect Extension for Design Management Domain Extension Application Version 4.0.4 (4.0.4000.RSADM404-I20130805_2246) ".

Hi Anthony,

I do not believe that having RSA 9.0 should have an influence here. I have DM 4.0.4 on my machine with RSA 9.0 and I do not see that problem.
You said you do not see the vvc app under the Tomcat webapps but do you see the vvc folder under C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer\server\conf
Additionally, if you look at the installed package information under Start->All Programs -> IBM Installation Manager-> View installed packages (under windows 7 it points to file: C:\ProgramData\IBM\Installation Manager\installed.xml).
You should see, under the IBM Collaborative Lifecycle Management installation package, the entry saying:
Configuration Management package Version 4.0.4 (4.0.4000.VVC404-I20130805_2157)
