Dead Link 4.0.6 Client


Eric Marsh (154) | asked Jul 24 '15, 12:18 p.m.
I'm trying to install the 4.0.6 client. I set up the repository to download from https://jazz.net/downloads/clm/4.0.6/4.0.6/install-repository/clm-offerings/repository/repository.config but then get failures that it can't access https://jazz.net/downloads/clm/4.0.6/4.0.6/install-repository/clm-offerings/repository/repository.xml. When I load that url in a browser I get a dead link.

I'd already tried installing the 4.0.7 client but on start up it gave me a message saying that it is incompatible with our 4.0.6 server.

Can anyone help me get back on track installing the 4.0.6 client?

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Eric,

Can you try to download the client from below URL

https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/4.0.6?p=allDownloads

Let me know if it helps.

Regards,

Shradha

Shradha,

All of the download links are marked as unavailable.

It works for me. I can complete all the steps without any errors (I actually canceled the installation when IM started downloading the bits from jazz.net).
How did you get the failing URL by the way?

Interesting.

I downloaded the zip file, extracted and then ran launchpad.sh. (I'm running Ubuntu 14.04). From there I selected "Install the Clients" and then "Rational Team Concert - Client for Eclipse 4.2x IDE."

A dialog box appears with the message The com.ibm.team.install.rtc.client.ies4 package specified in the <path>/linux.gtk.x86_64/install-eclipse42-client.xml file can not be found.

Opening the xml file I find a link to https://jazz.net/downloads/clm/4.0.6/4.0.6/install-repository/clm-offerings/repository/repository.config. I'm able to load it into my browser and open it.

I've tried this both as user and root.

With that failure I decided to try installing by way of the IBM Installation Manager. When I press the install button i get the message

The following repositories are not connected:

-https://jazz.net.downloads/clm/4.0.6./4.0.6/install-repository/clm-offerings/repository

Looking at the details the first line of the error messages is

CRIMC1085E: Resumable download failed for: https://jazz.net/downloads/clm/4.0.6/4.0.6/install-repository/clm-offerings/repository/repository.xml

I load that URL into my browser and it asks for me to log in. When I do so I get a 404.

Now here's what's kinda strange. On another Ubuntu 14.04 VM I went through a series of installations. First I tried V6. I installed but when I tried to connect I got an error saying that it was incompatible with the 4.0.6 server. So next I installed 4.0.7 which was the closest version available on the downloads site. I got the same error. So I asked in these forums for a 4.0.6 version, downloaded it and it installed.

After that I tried to do an installation of 4.0.6 on my development machine and I'm only getting failures.

I'm wondering if the installations and then installations of the other versions on the other machine left an artifact behind that enabled me to install 4.0.6.

It's just a thought.

I installed and uninstalled V6 before installing V 4.06. This time the install succeeded. When I installed version six the installer asked me for my login which the other versions had not. I guess that information was cached. Incidentally I did the installs as user, not root.
