Administrative utilities, tools, and scripts

This page is meant to hold some useful utilities, tools, and scripts for Jazz administrators and Jazz users. These are provided on an "as-is" basis.

Administrator utilities

This section has useful utilities, tools, and scripts meant to ease administrative tasks.

• JazzMon - JazzMon is a new tool that will help you make more sense out of Jazz server traffic patterns based on web service reports. Also check out the FAQ for JazzMon, where you can download the utility.
• Automation Server - This blog article will guide you through the process of creating an automation server, which will perform the automation tasks that you might need for your CLM implementation. It was originally done as a performance improvement to automate the insertion of comments into a work item from the command line.
• Sample upgrade scripts - based upon scripts used to upgrade Jazz.net and Rational's Functional Verification Test environments.

Reporting utilities

This section has useful utilities, tools, and scripts meant to provide simple reports for various Jazz administrative needs.

• Simple baseline diff tool - this is a link to a blog posting by DanToczala that has a simple baseline diff tool for generating release notes. It is unsupported.
• Listing project area membership in Rational Team Concert and Rational Quality Manager - this is a link to a paper by Carl Girourd. It is unsupported.

How are my project areas configured?

You want to get a listing of how your projects are organized, and everything inside of them. How do you do it? Using the Eclipse client, open the Team Organization view, right click on a project area, and select "Generate Runtime Report". This will export a zip file that contains most of the information you're asking about. It gives you the project and team area hierarchy, member assignments, and the process XML configuration. It doesn't give you the workitem categories ("filed against" values), however. This is a very nice technique for assessing how your project is organized.

Miscellaneous utilities

This section has useful utilities, tools, and scripts that don't easily fit into one of the other categories.

• Workflow Visualizer - this is a link to a blog containing a workflow visualizer, which takes the Process XML from Rational Team Concert as an input, and produces simple images of the workflow for the various work item types. It is unsupported.
