RCR Installation on Linux Server Tip
Hello,
I managed an installation for RCR under Linux and would like to give you some hint for getting it to work.
1. Configuring the ODBC driver for Linux systems
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rqmhelp/v2r0/topic/com.ibm.rational.test.qm.reporting.doc/topics/t_configure_XDC_linux.html
To be able to use the RQM live data source, you must specify the correct path in the odbc.ini to the rqm.xdc file located in the installation directory. Unfortunately this path has white spaces insidedataconfig/configs/live data config/rqm.xdc . The following technote advices to escape the path like this dataconfig/configs/live\ data\ config/rqm.xdc
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21411699
But this does not work really. So I created a logic link "live" on the same level of the "live data config" directory pointing to that directory and used that path in the odbc.ini that worked.
2. You can test both data configs with isql "RQM" and "RQM Live"
3. Sequence of Post Installation Tasks
Do this step (Configuring data warehouse access):
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rqmhelp/v2r0/topic/com.ibm.rational.test.qm.reporting.doc/topics/t_config_dw_access.html
before this step (Testing the live data model):
