Location of RTC 3.0 Server Zip?
Hi,
I'd like to download the RTC server zip file without using the IBM installation manager as is available on 2.x releases. I can't seem to locate the link on the All Downloads page for RTC 3.0. Can someone point me at the proper link? Thanks, James |

Hi, There do not appear to be zipped versions of 3.0. At the moment, you can use the web install, or download a local repository and use IM from that. Please add your comments to this work item: http://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=140423 requesting a zip version of RTC 3. regards anthony |
Hi !
I also need the server zip file !! I want to install it from command line. Sbastien. |
Hi ! Hi I think you should be able to do this using IM using silent install (not tried this myself). anthony |
a zip file would make it easier to install from command line ;)
+1 for it! |
As of 3.0 we are not making server zips available for the same reason we've never had zips available for the Client for Microsoft Visual Studio IDE. The install in 3.0 needs to be more intelligent than the 2.0. It needs to handle a variety of paths including renaming of the context root to handle upgrading.
IM is smart enough to do this but a plain zip is not. However we understand that there is a need to install from a command-line and this is why we've documented this. Please see this help topic: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_command-line_installation.html |

The install in 3.0 needs to be more intelligent than the 2.0. It needs to handle a variety of paths including renaming of the context root to handle upgrading. I understand that the install is more complex in 3.0. Would it be possible to install a clean copy of 3.0 server on a clean machine, and then zip the installed directories for deployment on another machine. This would be before we ran setup. And a similar idea for the Eclipse client install... Would we be missing something vital if we did that? thanks anthony |

From the help system: Installing and upgrading > Installing Rational Team Concert > Installing the server > Command-line installation (the link Adrian mentions above): This should do the trick for the problem I am trying to solve. Thanks Adrian! anthony anthony |
I understand that the install is more complex in 3.0. I did just that and it seems to be working: - do a regular web install inside a linux vm with a full GUI (install for a single user) - stop right after installation (so no configuration) - tar/zip the JazzTeamServer subtree under IBM/ - copy this zipfile over to the headless linux box - unzip/untar - run server.startup - finish the configuration using the web interface I haven't tried the solution with installmanager + responsefile yet, but that also seems a possible solution. regards, Daan. |
