RTC 3.0 client and / or server on Mac OS X
Before I spend too much time to get it working, has anyone yet got any positive experience getting the client and/or server for RTC 3.0 on Mac OS X off the ground?

Did anybody ever actually upload a directory having done the hard bit by installing on Ubuntu etc? I could really do it it as a link so I dont have to bother with that section...?

Hi, It would perhaps help others if you or Freddy zipped the Team Server install folder on Mac OS X and share. I have no time for some time to go through installing Ubuntu under Parallels, etc. ... There is close to 900 views of this post so I guess the interest is high amongst other members. Not sure where this could be appropriately posted - but let us try and get this resolved properly, and have Mac OSX supported as a server platform officially. Mac enthusiasts - please add your comment in support of this request here anthony If you follow Jason's suggestion, and "skip that step," by putting a 3 into the URL to skip step 2, you can get through the other steps. I'd been afraid that there was a form post that was required for step 3, but it seems there isn't. Setup brings you back to step 2 at the end, but it seems you can get enough configured to move along and use the server by just putting in its local URL. I'll see if there are other issues down the line, but for playing in the sandbox, this seems to work! Thanks! Turns out that wasn't good enough, and I needed to copy over server/conf from the Ubuntu box, which did the trick. <sidenote> I apologize for misuse of "sandbox," but I did use a lowercase "s." ;-) </sidenote> |

Hi,
Here is my experience. I downloaded the Mac client and the linux server package - make sure you download the installation manager, you will need it to install the Jazz server. I installed Ubuntu into a VM (I used Parallels, but any will do). Install the installation manager. Then install the Jazz package into a directory in Ubuntu that you can replicate on the Mac, I installed into /opt/IBM/IBMShared and /opt/IBM/JazzTeamServer. Once this install was complete I created a directory on the Mac called /opt/IBM and copied the contents of /opt/IBM on Ubuntu into this. I then did the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME exports as described above. I then ran /opt/IBM/JazzTeamServer/server/server.startup from a terminal on the Mac, and all fired up fine. I then setup the jts element following the standard instructions. I pretty much ignored all the error messages up to this point, when I set the URI, I set it as the Mac name, I made no change to /etc/hosts and ignored the error message that said it couldn't be accessed. Once complete I was able to setup a project area easily, I unzipped the client on the Mac ran it as others have described and connected to the server. Thus far I've had no issues whilst running it, all has worked fine. Cheers, Jason |
I am currently trying to go through the same exercise and found the following: http://bryanhunt.wordpress.com/2010/11/29/rational-team-concert-3-0-on-os-x/ This is a hard way ... There must be a way to install it directly onto Mac OS X with manual tweaks. Not that I know now how to .... but I'd rather spend time investigating it than installing ubuntu under parallels. So if you make a distribution your way please post it somewhere. If I figure out what to tweak, I'll share it too. Hi I am in the process of downloading the RTC v3 client to a Mac. This is the zip file version, will let you know how I get on. File is here: https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/3.0/RTC-Client-Mac-3.0.zip anthony Hi OK - I used the zip file listed above and got the client working without any changes or adjustments. I can connect to a PC running a server - again no problem. What might be more of a problem is running the server on a mac. Not sure how to do that other than using a VM on your mac. anthony Yes, I used the same zip download for the client. It will not even start with this error: and the log file says: !ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2010-12-31 09:41:11.694 Have you or anyone seen this? Hi Mirek Not seen this (yesterday was the first time I had run the RTC client on a Mac). I did just click through the downloaded file and it seemed to extract itself in-place. I did not move any files, etc. Can you try that too (just run from the zip file)? This *might* be a permissions issue on the files if you moved them around. I am also an admin user on the machine - not sure if that makes a difference. regards anthony |
Got both the server and client running on OS X v 10.6.5. Hi Hi Freddy if you were a good Samaritan, the last thing in the old year you could do is to tar and archive the server folder on your Mac OS X and upload to Dropbox. I can share a folder in Dropbox with you if you don't have one :D -mirek |
Got both the server and client running on OS X v 10.6.5.
Client: simple, same as Anthony, no tweaks, just unzipped and double-clicked Eclipse app in /Users/freddy/IBM/TeamConcert/jazz/client/eclipse. Server: Can't find an OS X version of IBM IM, so : - ran up a RHEL 5 VMWare VM - installed IM v 1.4 into RHEL VM - pointed a vmware share to a directory on my Mac (/Users/freddy/IBM) - installed from IM into /mnt/hgfs/freddy On My Mac/IBM - on the Mac added following to my ~/.profile : export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home - cd /Users/freddy/IBM/JazzTeamServer/server - ./server.startup - go to https://localhost:9443/jts/setup - go to https://localhost:9443/ccm or https://localhost:9443/jts - deployed process templates, created project area etc etc. Bunch of errors in cc.log and jts.log but it all appears to work ok. The one thing I could't figure out when running the setup was how to change the Public URI (without editing /etc/hosts): my imac's hostname is "Sudhakar-FREDERICKs-iMac" and using that in the public URI field resulted in a warning: The network web application specified as "https://Sudhakar-FREDERICKs-iMac:9443/jts" cannot currently be resolved or opened. If you expect this address to be resolvable at this time, verify that the URI is valid. Connection message: SSL_TLS SSLContext not availableID CRJAZ1415W If I ignored that warning, the next step failed. HTH Happy New Year freddy Hi |
