Question on upgrade of RTC 3.x to RTC 4.0
![]()
Rational Team Concert 3.0.1.2
WAS 7.0.0.19
SQL Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)
Windows 2008 Server (64-bit)
Single instance of WAS. I have two profiles - one for JTS and the other for CCM. Both JTS and CCM are on the same box.
I'm referring to the Info center on the upgrade instructions for RTC 3.x to 4.0. Please see the text in red below.
I opened the teamserver.properties file that is in my JTS 3.0.1.2 install dir. The current setting is:
com.ibm.team.fulltext.indexLocation=conf/jts/indices/workitemindex
So, as per the instructions should I change the value to D:\IBM\WebSphere\appServer\profiles\Appsrv0\conf\jts\indices\workitemindex before running the upgrade scripts? The question is that currently there is no conf directory under D:\IBM\WebSphere\appServer\profiles\Appsrv0. Please let me know.
Thanks!
11Verify the index locations Back to top
Before starting the upgrade, follow these steps to verify that the index locations in the application's properties files are pointing to an absolute path on the file system, rather than relative paths.
The script will then copy the indices from 3.x to the new 4.0 stable directory.

After rereading the upgrade instructions a couple more times I discovered I was mistaken about the index location.
The instructions are saying that if you are using WebSphere and the index location is pointing to a relative path it will use ..../WebSphere/appServer/profiles/<Profile name>/conf/<application>/indices/workitemindex You said the conf directory does not exist. Did you check under the both the ccm and jts profiles? T M selected this answer as the correct answer

You should have changed the path to an absolute path long time ago. Especially on WAS and running the server as a service. The absolute path for the indexLocation you currently have refers to the JTS_3.x_install_dir/server/conf/jts/indices/workitemindex as described in the help which is not located in te WAS profile folder.
When deploying a production server, it should be considered to place the index and other files that by default are relative to the server/conf/app folder in a folder that is independent of the install location. And make the path entry in the teamserver.properties file absolute. In your case I would suggest to.
The reason being:
You also want to think about including these files into backups.... see https://jazz.net/library/article/795
Comments Thanks! Since I currently don't have the absolute path in my teamserver.properties files I don't change anyhting in the teamserver.properties files and as part of the upgrade process: 1. Don't change anything in the teamserver.properties file 2. Run the upgrade scripts 3. While running the upgrade script, teamserver.properties file pops up and I give the aboslute path (JTS_4.0_install_dir/server/conf/jts/indices/workitemindex & JTS_4.0_install_dir/server/conf/ccm/indices/workitemindex ) Is it okay? I think I need to change the teamserve.properties files to absolute path - JTS_3.x_install_dir/server/conf/jts/indices/workitemindex and JTS_3.x_install_dir/server/conf/ccm/indices/workitemindex before running the upgrade script. Right? |

I also opened a defect because the instructions are confusing and I think they are wrong to point to the WebSphere directory for the indices.
https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=228162 Comments I don't think they are confusing. JTS_3.0.1_install_dir/server/jts does not at all pint to any websphere folder.

Oh, now I see it. Yes, that is wrong. |
![]() My current setting in JTS teamserver.properties file is: com.ibm.team.fulltext.indexLocation=conf/jts/indices/workitemindex My current setting in CCM teamserver.properties file is: com.ibm.team.fulltext.indexLocation=conf/ccm/indices/workitemindex I looked at JTS_3.0.1_Install_dir\conf\jts\indices\workitemindex folder and CCM_3.0.1_Install_dir\conf\ccm\indices\workitemindex folder and they are empty! Why there is nothing in the workitemindex folders?

Hi,
I don't know where the index files go if you run with WAS and have a relative path. Even more disturbing I seem to be unable to find the documentation that states you need to enter absolute paths. Search for a folder named workitemindex. There are other index locations with files. Typically with prefix jfs-.See the backup article i mentioned in one of the answers for more information. You could also try to set the locations to absolute and rebuild all the indexes. |

Hello,
I'm editing the JazzTeamServer/server/conf/jts/teamserver.properties file upgrading to 4.0.3 . What is the right absolute path to change to? Should it be the path to CLM_Installation_Dir/conf/ccm/indices/workitemindex or WAS_Installation_Dir/conf/ccm/indices/workitemindex ? Thanks, Yehiel |
