RQM install upgrade instructions and infocenter

Just go to jazz.net, and click on the "Rational Quality Manager" icon
(top middle of page).
And then click on "Download 3.0.1 release" (upper right of page).
That page should give you all the info you need.

In particular, WRT your specific questions:
1. Yes, there is one install for the 3 CLM products (RTC, RQM, RRC).
2. Your RQM licenses give you access to the appropriate functionality
from the applications included in the server (in particular, your RQM
Quality Professional license gives you access to all the QM
capabilities, as well as change management capabilities from the CCM
application and requirement capabilities from the RM application.
3. Not sure what you mean by "stand alone". There is a single install
for RTC, RQM, and RRC. Your license type defines what subset of the
capabilities you have access to.

Cheers,
Geoff

I've searched the web for upgrade instructions for RQM 3.0 and I came
up with a tutorial for installing and upgrading CLM (???), but
nothing for just RQM.

This raised several questions:

1. If I only want to upgrade RQM 2.0.1 to RQM 3.0.1 do I have to
install all of CLM too?
- If so are the licenses free to the other components?

2. Does ANYONE have a pointer to the documentation for RQM 3.0.1?
- Installation/Upgrading
- Usage information for end users

3. Can RQM 3.0.1 still stand alone?

what license should the user have to see 'create test plan' icon. I have an installation on linux(command line install), I followed instrcutions in the install guide, but after configuring RQM(completed setup Wizard successfully), all I see is icons for "view test plan" and view other artifacts. The user has all roles(admin, user, project admin etc). I did notice that rqm-license-profile.ini and related files are missing in the installation folder. Any ideas? Would appreciate any help!

Geoff, Thanks for clarifying things. The configuration that I work with is a bit unusual in that we only use RQM with a loose integration to some of the other tools.

I did not know what CLM was so when the manual stated CLM and referenced QM, RRC and JTS it was confusing.

Actually performing he upgrade was a bit tricky but the documentation was extremely helpful and at times insightful. The section "Understand the new application and architecture" was very helpful along with several other setions that provided enough information to noodle it out.

The running of the upgrade scripts was a bit problematic since I had to upgrade from 2.0.1 to 2.0.1.1 and I did not apply any of the ifixes. As a result I wound up digging through the app_upgrade script and then creating a couple of links for it all to work.

The most confusing part was knowing which teamserver.properties file you were working with during the execution of the upgrade. It would have been nice to have a header at the top of the file stating the name of the file with the properties organized a bit (Yeah, I'm picking nits).

Thanks again!

You need the "Quality Professional" CAL to create new RQM test assets.
Reference: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0m1/topic/com.ibm.jazz.repository.web.admin.doc/topics/c_license_mgmt_over.html

One thing that you should definitely note is that new project areas in 3.0.1 grant NO permissions to each role by default. You need to manually go in and grant the necessary permissions for each role. This is to prevent accidentally granting users too many permissions. In this case, make sure your users role has the permission enabled to create/edit a Test Plan, log out/in, and the menus should update.

what license should the user have to see 'create test plan' icon. I have an installation on linux(command line install), I followed instrcutions in the install guide, but after configuring RQM(completed setup Wizard successfully), all I see is icons for "view test plan" and view other artifacts. The user has all roles(admin, user, project admin etc). I did notice that rqm-license-profile.ini and related files are missing in the installation folder. Any ideas? Would appreciate any help!

We'll want to do anything that we can do to simplify/robustify the
upgrade process, so if you get a chance, please do report even minor
issues that you encounter during upgrade.

Cheers,
Geoff

I thought I was in the clear but it seams I hit a snag when trying to register the /qm application. The error that I got was: CRJAZ1726E. I've been doing a bit of reading through the forum and several others have hit this issue also but there has been no clear guidence on a fix.

One article suggested the error was caused by the "Context prefix" used in the migration. I took the defaults on that which was "jazz" but should I have used "qm"? If so how do I recover?

Do I reinstall the software?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
