Service levels of IBM JRE required for RTC 2.0
As of about 2.0 RC1 we have required specific levels of the IBM JRE to operate correctly because we are dependent on a number of fixes. If you are using an IBM JRE you must ensure that you have the correct version. If you are using a non-IBM JRE then this notice will not apply to you.
The correct version of the IBM JRE fixes the following problems: 65639: jazzdev crash 77079: Problem with build C20090402-0634 -- "Too many open files" accessing URL 78604: checksum errors during import If you attempt to run Team Concert without the correct JRE, some services in the Jazz Team Sever may fail to start. The required JREs with these fixes have been made available as i-fixes on Java 5 SR9 and Java 6 SR4. The Team Concert downloads include the correct Java 5 JREs. The Java 6 JREs will be made available separately at a later date. If you are running WebSphere Application Server you will need to obtain the corresponding WAS i-fixes which are made available under their corresponding WAS APARs. For Java 5/WAS 6.1 the APAR is PK85942 and the files can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/websphere/appserv/support/fixes/PK85942/. You should install at least WAS 6.1 fixpack 19 before installing the JRE i-fix. For Java 6/WAS 7.0 the APAR is PK 86771 and the files can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/websphere/appserv/support/fixes/PK86771/. |

Adrian,
Does requiring "specific levels of the IBM JRE" mean that *if* you're using the IBM JRE you must have at least the specified levels, or that you *must* use the specified version of the IBM JRE? In other words what does this have to do with other JRE's, specifically Sun? I have a particular problem: I've been running the 1.x server on Solaris, and since IBM doesn't build its JRE for Solaris I've had no choice but to use the Sun JRE on Sun platforms. Which has worked fine, by the way. If RTC 2.0 will not run on Solaris at all due to the above, however, I need to start working on an alternate plan right away. But I'm hoping all you meant to say was that IBM JREs below a certain release level are unsupported. Thanks, MK acho wrote: As of about 2.0 RC1 we have required specific levels of the IBM JRE to |

Thanks for noting the lack of clarity. I've edited my post to make things clearer.

Adrian, I do not see Solaris as an IBM *formally* supported platform 1.0 -> http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3488&context=SSCP65&dc=DB540&uid=swg21306241&loc=en_US&cs=UTF-8&lang=en&rss=ct3488rational 2.0->https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/milestones/2.0RC2?p=allDownloads It should work though, but I would not recommend putting it in production.. Adrian ? |

Solaris is definitely not a supported platform for RTC 2.0 however I can say that it is on the list for a fixpack that will follow 2.0 later this year. Early builds of that stream will start appearing in the next few months.
