I am trying to install RTC 2.0.0.2 ifix3 into WebSphere Transformation Extender (WTX) v8.3.

Many thanks to WTX development for the help that got me started on this.

1) Installation

Install WTX 8.3 as per usual - my version installed into C:\IBM\WebSphere Transformation Extender 8.3

sure the directory " C:\IBM\WebSphere Transformation Extender 8.3" is in the Windows PATH

Install the RTC client as another Eclipse shell. My installation is here: C:\Program Files\IBM\TeamConcert

There is a links directory in the WTX installation - in my case it is here:

C:\IBM\WebSphere Transformation Extender 8.3\wtx_eclipse\eclipse\links. This will contain two files with the suffix .link

Copy this links directory into the RTC client - so links is now a subdirectory in C:\Program Files\IBM\TeamConcert

2) Starting RTC/WTX

You need to be running Java 1.6. I have this installed in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin. Java 1.5 will not work.

I recommend for the first time, you start RTC from a DOS shell in the installation directory (C:\Program Files\IBM\TeamConcert) using the command

eclipse.exe -clean -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin"

(note the quotes around the c:\.. )

The -clean forces Eclipse to re-read the current configuration, and should not be needed again once you have started successfully.

This will start RTC as per normal.

Switch to the WTX perspective. If you get errors related to WTX - check the -vm parameter above.

You will now have a normal WTX UI.

You may wish to add the vm parameters to eclipse,ini file in C:\Program Files\IBM\TeamConcert so you can start RTC from Windows Start menu.

3) Adding a WTX project to source control

From the Transformation Extender Development perspective, select the Navigator view (NOT the Extender Navigator view)
Right-button on the project and select Team->Add to Source Control.
Select Jazz Source Control as the source control provider.

Continue adding the project as you would any normal RTC project.

Use the Navigator view and the Team right-button menu to add further files to source control or perform other source control operations.

Please ignore any Source Control right-button menus on the Extender Navigator view - these seem to relate only to the CVS integration at this time.
