RTC 2 -> 3 Upgrade broken by context root difficulty


Wes Deviers (611) | asked Feb 02 '11, 4:04 p.m.
Hello,

On my working and nicely functional RTC2 install, Websphere 7, I did the installation such that the context root is set to /. It has a dedicated server, so there wasn't any point in adding /jazz needlessly.

Now I'm trying to upgrade to RTC 3.0 and that choice appears to have completely broken everything. The installer assumes you could have never, ever, in a million years, used anything other than /jazz. The badness of this assumption aside, it's causing me a lot of problems.

My first shot was to install with the new context root as /jazz, then change it after the fact. It actually worked surprisingly well with the automated installer, but there are too many random errors for it to be usable. I attempted this at least half a dozen times with slight variations, but never got CCM to completely register with JTS.

After those few attempts, I tried doing the manual installation using the XML file. The initial setup seems to work. If I set
<data key='user.com.ibm.team.install.jfs.app.rtc.context-root' value=''/>
(two single qoutes with nothing between) the installer generator runs as expected, dumps the files into /tmp as expected, and creates a repotools-.sh. Strange, but at least it's close. The problem is that none of the XML files are where they're expected to be, because it's missing the last portion of *every* path.

If I do
<data key='user.com.ibm.team.install.jfs.app.rtc.context-root' value='/'/>

it fails for obvious reasons (Linux system).

So, how can I get around this problem, where my context on RTC2 is https://jazz.domain.lan/

with no /jazz?

Thanks!

Wes
