RTC Eclipse Clients for AIX and HPUX? Source Code Clients
One answer
RTC SCM supports the command-line interface (CLI) on a few different Unix operating systems including Solaris, AIX, Linux (x86, POWER, S390) and z/OS USS. There is no support for HP-UX at this time. The eclipse client is only supported on Windows and Linux (x86).
There are some articles available that describe how to use the CLI:
https://jazz.net/library/article/620
https://jazz.net/library/article/979
https://jazz.net/library/article/980
https://jazz.net/library/article/981
The CLI can be used in conjunction with a web browser to do work item and to a limited degree, build workflows. The last three articles cover how to do this in the context of Mac OS with the Xcode IDE but some of the examples can be applied to other operating systems and IDE's as well.
There is also p2 repository zip that you can download for each RTC release from jazz.net. That p2 repository can be used to install RTC onto an existing eclipse and may work for you but this is not supported for AIX or HP-UX.

To elaborate a bit on the last paragraph (although not supported for AIX and HP-UX). Here are the steps that you would take:
- Download the "p2 Install Repository" zip from "All Downloads" tab of the RTC download page from jazz.net (use the version that matches the version of RTC your server is using)
- Download an Eclipse install from eclipse.org that matches the RTC version you are using (Eclipse 3.6 for RTC 3.x, Eclipse 3.6 for RTC 4.x) and the operating system you want to run it on
- Unzip the p2 zip
- Install Eclipse
- Launch Eclipse
- Go to Help->Install New Software...
- Click "Add..."
- Choose "Local" and pick the location where you unzipped the p2 install
- Add the RTC feature for your install
- Restart eclipse
Be sure to check your ulimits. RTC and eclipse can use quite alot of memory and file handles.

For AIX, you could use the SCM tools https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/4.0.0.1/RTC-scmTools-AIX-4.0.0.1.zip or, if you run XWindows you could use the browser to download and change files.
In general HPUX is not supported at all according to https://jazz.net/library/article/811. Again, the browser might be an option.

Nov 28 '12, 12:47 p.m.talking about the latest release 4.X. So from your comment it sounds like you don't know of anyone who has gotten an eclipse client, with RTC plugin, to work on AIX or HPUX? The web browser just doesn't seem like a good option, it's very limited in it's source code capabilities.
I thought RTC was supposed to be multi-platform, i.e. do source control on all these platforms that people use - ClearCase has a client that runs on these platforms, how do you do source code management on RTC when you are logged into an AIX or HPUX box?? Use SVN instead!

FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER Nov 28 '12, 6:40 p.m.Ken, I have not tried to install a client on AIX or HPUX, I am just reading the system requirements. HPUX is not a supported platform from what I can see, at all. So it might or might not work. It is simply not supported. So what do you expect?
