Trouble establishing cross server communication with RRC
Hello,
I was experimenting with creating a CALM scenario with RRC, RQM and RTC but I ran into some problems. I was following the instructions from this article: http://jazz.net/library/techtip/304 I successfully connected RTC with RQM and vice versa. Also creating cross server communication between RRC and RTC/RQM worked. What failed was connecting RTC/RQM with RRC. When trying to establish cross server communication from RTC/RQM to RRC I get the following error.
A bit about my environment. I have the following installed
It is all running on a single machine, with changed ports (RRC - 9443, RTC-9444, RQM-9445) and appropriate entries into hosts file so all the team servers are available with the following names: rrc, rtc, rqm. The Public URI root property is changed appropriately, so that the https://server:port/jazz/rootservices and https://server:port/rdm/rootservices are available. The servers function normally and I can access them without problems, just the cross server communication does not work. I tried removing all the server entries, restarting and retrying the procedure, did not work. Only thing I found that is a bit peculiar is that in RRC the is server friend entry named Rational Requirements Server which has a Root services URI property set to localhost:9443/rdm/rootservices and i can not remove it. Also in the rootservices xml there is an entry of <jfs>https://localhost:9443/rdm, https://rrc:9443/rdm</jfs>. is this normal that there is a localhost entry inside? Anyone had any similar problems? Any ideas on how to solve this? Any and all ideas are very welcome. Happy new year 2010 :) |

Hi Joe,
I was trying to compare your friendsconfig.rdf to mine, but doesn't look like it came through in your post. Can you post the file from the /jazz folder? I'm interested in what your rootServices entry looks like. |
Ben,
Thanks for looking at this, I really appreciate it. Here is the friendsconfig.rdf contents from the /jazz dir:
Thanks, Joe |

When you go to Cross-Server Communication, do you see "Rational Requirements Server" in the "Internal Friends" list? It should be pointing to https://server:9443/rdm/rootservices. I don't see this in your config file, but notice that when I paste mine it's not coming through either. I'm looking for the line above "dc:title>Rational Requirements Server". where mine says "jd:rootServices rdf:resource="https://bsilverm.lexma.ibm.com:9443/rdm/rootservices"/>"

Ben,
Yes, it's there. It looks like this when viewing it from within the RRC web admin: Rational Requirements Server https://rrc:9443/rdm/rootservices 339a727942cb41ffbeed909b8d398463 Can't figure this out. When I go from RRC to RTC it works fine. When I try to make the connection from RTC to RRC it throws up the 403 error. Still stuck. Thanks, Joe |

I suppose the details of what you are trying to do would help. When you say you are trying to go from RTC to RRC, where are you when you do this?
Is 9433 the appropriate port for your RTC server, or is it 9443? I have only configured RRC/RQM so far, but RTC is on my list this week. I can run through the same scenario and report back once I've set it up. Just let me know the steps you're taking, where you're seeing the error, and what the error says. Thanks, |

I set this up last night and it seems to be working fine. Let me know what use case you are running through and I'll have a look.

I got mine to work with a lot of help from the guys in dev.
Where I went wrong was when setting the public URI of RRC I used https://rrc:9443/rdm/. This is wrong. It needs to be /jazz. After that of course the Xserver comm didnt work, we fixed it somehow so it started working, but then the rrs-daemon user disappeared from the internal friend entry in OAuth section in server config. This resulted in showstopper when creating/opening project from RRC client (http://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8480). Could not get that back... so I just reinstalled it, during the setup procedure set the public URI Root to https://rrc:9443/jazz and it automagicaly worked :) Hope that helps. Edit: Forgot to mention this. To open setup use https://rrc:9443/rdm/setup, not localhost. When establishing Xserver comm, user https://rrc:9443/rdm/rootservices (normal). I guess this is not connected with the Public URI Root... |
I got mine to work with a lot of help from the guys in dev. Thanks guys, I really appreciate all of the help. Pointing out that the Public URI had to be /jazz as opposed to /rdm was a big help. That made a big difference. As a matter of fact, it almost worked after that. :-) I'm now reinstalling RRC w/ the hope that a fresh start will make a difference. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again. |
