Currently, the 32-bit version of Apache Tomcat that is
installed with IBM® Rational® Quality Manager does
not run as a service on 64-bit Microsoft® Windows® computers. To run Rational Quality Manager as
a service on a 64-bit computer, you must replace the 32-bit version
of Apache Tomcat with the 64-bit version.
Before you begin
The following procedure requires a batch file that is installed
with
Rational Quality Manager 2.0.1
and later. If you are running an older version of the product, no
batch file is provided. See
http://jazz.net/library/techtip/72 for
further details about running the product as a Windows service and using other supported
databases.
Procedure
To set up Rational Quality Manager to
run as a Windows service
under Apache Tomcat.
- Download the 64-bit version of tomcat5.exe.amd64 and tomcat5w.exe.amd64 from
one of these sites:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/tc5.5.x/tags/TOMCAT_5_5_23/connectors/procrun/bin/
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc5.5.x/tags/TOMCAT_5_5_23/connectors/procrun/bin/
- Remove any Windows service
that is running Rational Quality Manager.
For example, to remove a service named 2.0.1, complete these steps:
- Open a command prompt, and change to the InstallDir\server directory.
- Enter rqm.service.bat remove 2.0.1.
- Restart the computer.
- Change to the InstallDir\server\tomcat\bin directory,
and rename tomcat5.exe to tomcat5.exe.32.
- Copy tomcat5w.exe.amd64 as InstallDir/server/tomcat/bin/tomcat5w.exe.
- Install the new 64-bit service for Rational Quality Manager by
changing to the InstallDir\server directory,
and typing the following command:
rqm.service.bat
install version
where version is
a unique ID that you assign for running that version of the product
as a Windows service.
- After the service starts, verify that the server is running
by logging on to the server from your browser.
Example
To run version 2.0.1 as a Windows service, type rqm.service.bat
install 2.0.1.
