clmhelp system not functioning

We have an RTC 3.0 instance which is working fine except for the help system.
The https://servername:9443/clmhelp/index.jsp screen is displayed correctly, but opening any actual help topics results in a "resource is not available" error.

Using .../clmhelp/remote/remotehelp.jsp we can view the properties of the remote help which is set to:

Name: Rational Team Concert Help
Host: publib.boulder.ibm.com
Path: /infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0
Protocol: http
Port: 80
URL: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0
Status: Enabled

However clicking "Test Connection" results in a "Connection Status: Failed" message.

Could this be because we are behind a proxy server ?
If yes, how do we configure this correctly ?

Thanks,

Daan.

Daan,

I had the same issue.

To configure RTC3 to allow the help to work from behind a proxy add the following to the tomcat server.startup script.

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dhttp.proxyHost=xxx.xx.xx.xx -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080

Restart server and the help should now be OK.

Regards,
Troy.

Status: Enabled

When I try the Test Connection button, I get the status "Connected". When I access the welcome page from my dashboard and attempt to "take a tour of change and configuration management" I get resource not available. URL in new window is:
https://myserverURI:9443/clmhelp/topic/com.ibm.team.concert.overview.tour.tutorial.doc/topics/rtcoverviewwrapper.html

Same result with other links on the welcome page. Had no issues during install and finalize process. Other users have same result. Thanks for any tips or pointers.

We ended up fixing this by always refering to the IBM online help from the teamserver.properties:

For all applications change the following line in “teamserver.properties”:

com.ibm.team.repository.web.helpuri=/clmhelp/index.jsp

to:

com.ibm.team.repository.web.helpuri=http\://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0m1/index.jsp

This should be done in:

<installdir>\JazzTeamServer\server\conf\ccm\

<installdir>\JazzTeamServer\server\conf\jts\

<installdir>\JazzTeamServer\server\conf\qm\
