Migration from IP to logical name
Hi,
We are using RTC 2.0.0.2. I was using the IP address in the public URI root.
The problem was, when linking to an other Jazz server (RRC and RQM are used in the project), we need to log each time we change from a jazz server to another (creating an RTC defect from RQM for example).
We decided to set logical names for servers (so we could access to rtc with https://rtc:9443/jazz in place of https://x.x.x.x:9443/jazz). When we changed the public URI root, all the link in the other server are still pointing to an address with the IP of the server.
The library contains the following article : http://jazz.net/library/article/193.
The "Example 3" seems to fit our needs. I have some questions about it.
How does it work ?
Where do we put the XML file ?
It is said that it work with RTC, but does it work with RRC and RQM ?

The tool described handles textual content in attributes (e.g.
description etc.), but not the link items themselves.
For RTC 3.0, repotools supports the action that you are looking for
../repotools-jazz.sh -modifyLinkURIs
linkTypeId=com.ibm.team.workitem.linktype.relatedChangeManagement
find=https://x.x.x.x:9443/jazz
replace=https://rtc:9443/ccm
(Techtip is about to be published)
This action works with RTC, but wouldn't cover RQM and RRC.
