Error while Starting RTC tomcat server


Akshay Panchakshari (37128) | asked Jun 17 '16, 2:48 a.m.

Hi All,

I am following this pdf IBM Rational Team Concert 4.x Extensibility. I have downloaded zip for JTS and simply  extracted it to C:\RTC40Dev\installs\JazzTeamServer. I can see the server starts but with few exceptions. I am getting below error while starting the server -->

Please guide me on the exception.

I have never see an error like that and I have run the extensions workshop with almost all versions. Why would it try to connect to pic.dhe.ibm.com anyway?

This is the source for the workshop: https://jazz.net/library/article/1000

pic.dhe.ibm.com is home to lots of documentation, including at one time that of RTC ( according to my browser history ).   It is not an IBM Internal only host.

I still don't understand why it would error out if the host is not found. But if the development client is not connected to the internet, you could try to connect it for the first start. I still don't see why that should be an issue. I am just almost always connected, so  I can't say.
