Hi Sean,

RAM command is packaged in java jar file, and make sure java is configured correct in your AIX and then download ramclient.zip to that AIX machine.

I run this command on a linux machine: java -jar ramcli.jar help to see the help content, usage of some other command should  be similar to this one...

Hope this could help, thanks & regards...

 Hi Bryan,


Thanks for the help and response.

I downloaded the ramclient.zip from our server, i.e. https://rational.myserver.com/ram/ramclient.zip.
After I unzipped it, I didn't see any ramcli.jar. Please see my screen shot below about the unzipped files.

I also tried to download and install the RAM-Client-7.5.1.2.zip. The ramcli.jar wasn't not there too.

Would you please tell me where I can find the ramcli.jar.

Hi James,

Seems you've download the wrong file, because ram command line interface was a new feature in RAM 7.5.2, and you download RAM 7.5.1.2, please download the new one...

Thanks & regards...

Bryan

Hi Bryan,
Thanks again. I installed 7.5.2, ran the command and found this error. 

Tried to google and asked a Java developer about the error without luck, I would like to ask your help again how to fix this? Is that ramcli.jar an executable jar?



no main manifest attribute, in ramcli.jar

Hi James,


You can use java -jar ramcli.jar --help to get the help information. The command I recommend you to run is on Linux machine, and now you are running it on a windows machine, and if you want to configure on a Windows machine, the command is ram config -url https://your_ram_repository -u your_account -p your_password, and the same to some other command, you can add --help parameter to your command to get the help information, eg: ram --help or ram publish --help.

Also, seems the folder you are using now do not contain all the artifacts need to run the CLI, and attach a screenshot of my folder just FYI...

Hi Bryan, thanks again!!!


I am still struggling to get the right ramclient. Since my company is using 7.5.1.2, if I do 'https://rational.myserver.com/ram/ramclient.zip', I can unzip and get all the files. As you suggested that I actually need 7.5.2, I download the RAM-Client-7.5.2.zip from jazz.net (https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-asset-manager/releases/7.5.2?p=allDownloads). 


After unzipped it, I can only install it with IBM Installation Manager as a plugin. The ramcli.jar is found in the folder below which contains not all the files.

Can you show me a link which contain the correct ramclient 7.5.2 that I can simply unzip and use it? My target environment is AIX, but I am just running initial test under Windows.

Hi Sean,


Seems you did not download the correct file, if you are using RAM 7.5.2, then go to your RAM extension page and find the  ramclient.zip and download ( In Clietn API Jars section ). Beware of the RAM version you are using, since the CLI ( Command Line Interface ) is a new feature in RAM 7.5.2, and version before 7.5.2 did not support this :-)...
