System Requirements for IBM Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) 5.0, 5.0.1 and 5.0.2

CLM includes the Rational Team Concert, Rational Quality Manager, and Rational DOORS Next Generation products
Build basis: CLM 5.0, 5.0.1 and 5.0.2

Page contents

For prior release requirements please see the specific articles for each version listed below:

  • For the CLM 2011 (3.0.1.x) system requirements please see this article.
  • The system requirements for CLM 2012 (v4.0) were published in this article.
  • The system requirements for v4.0.1 and v4.0.2 are published in this article.
  • The system requirements for v4.0.3 and v4.0.4 are published in this article.
  • The system requirements for v4.0.5, 4.0.6 and 4.0.7 are published in this article.

For platform pressures (enhancements and more) please see the CLM Platform Plans and Pressures Dashboard.

This is the list of system requirements for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) 5.0, 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 incorporating:

  • The Jazz Foundation (JAF) technology project.
  • The Rational Team Concert (RTC), Rational Quality Manager (RQM) and Rational DOORS Next Generation (RDNG) products.
  • Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence (RRDI) for customized reporting. Before upgrading, please see this additional article Version Compatibility Matrix for RRDI, CLM, and Rational Insight.
  • The system requirements are broken down into various components including the server-based CLM applications that are deployed on one or more servers and various optional tools and clients.
  • Please Note: From CLM 5.0 onward, Rational Requirements Composer (RRC) has been renamed to Rational DOORS Next Generation (RDNG).

Please Note: From CLM 5.0 onwards, RDNG's data is no longer stored in the JTS database. Rather, RDNG's has it's own RM database. Because of this change in where the data is stored, the steps for the upgrade procedure significantly changed. Compared to the procedure to upgrade to version 4.x, the procedure to upgrade to version 5.0 or later from 4.x has more steps. Please see Migrating the RM application to V5 from V4.x: Tips, common problems, and workarounds and Running the RM upgrade script for version 5.0.

Please Note: Starting in RTC 5.0, you can choose to migrate data from an older version of the product to the latest product version while the production server is still online. This migration method is called pre-upgrade online migration. Before implementing an online migration, determine whether offline or online migration is warranted for your repository by running the migration estimation command and then checking the Rational Team Concert online migration test matrix for guidance on the results. If online migration is recommended for your repository, follow the detailed instructions in the Collaborative Lifecycle Management 5.0 Knowledge Center, Interactive upgrade guide, Collaborative Lifecycle Management 5.0.1 Knowledge Center, Interactive upgrade guide and Collaborative Lifecycle Management 5.0.2 Knowledge Center, Interactive upgrade guide respectively.

Please Note: When using an Oracle database for RTC, workspaces and streams become disconnected from internal configuration information during migration from RTC 4.x to RTC 5.0 or later, causing some of the SCM functionality to become unusable. Please see the NullPointerExceptions occur with Oracle DB after upgrade to Rational Team Concert 5.0 Technote for more information.

Please Note: Starting in CLM 5.0.2, Lifecycle Project Administration (LPA) is now a component of the Jazz Team Server (JTS). Prior to 5.0.2, it was a separate application. Because of this change, some steps of the upgrade procedure have changed. Please see Migrating the LPA application from 4.0.x, 5.0 or 5.0.1 to 5.0.2 or higher

Server Operating System Notes
  • Host Operating Systems are supported on x86-64, POWER, z/OS and SPARC hardware. Itanium is not supported.
  • CLM and RRDI require 64 bit server OS to host CLM applications. 32-bit servers are not supported except for small-scale evaluation or demonstration purposes.
  • The RDNG Converter application will not run on AIX, IBM i, Linux for Power, Solaris or z/OS systems. The server-side converter.war, needed to view graphical artifacts, must be deployed on a supported Windows, x86 Linux or zLinux platform. If your RDNG installation is on a platform not currently supported by the converter application, this document describes the delegated converter configuration option: RM Converter Application Configuration and Troubleshooting Guide.
  • For the PTFs that need to be installed on enterprise platforms, depending on the components you install with IBM Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM), see Recommended Fixes for the Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management applications on z/OS and IBM i
  • For IBMi PTF's are required. For the latest IBM i Group PTFs, go to http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/sline003.nsf/GroupPTFs?OpenView&view=GroupPTFs.
  • IBM z/OS System z 1.10 and 1.9 are only supported if you have paid for an IBM Lifecycle Extension for z/OS as mentioned on http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/support/zos_eos_dates.html.
  • Rational Team Concert promotion and deployment support for z/OS require the REXX runtime or REXX alternate libraries (REXX.**.SEAGLPA, or REXX.**.SEAGALT). If you do not have either the REXX Library or the REXX Alternate Library installed, you can install the REXX Alternate Library to fulfill the REXX Library requirement. The REXX Alternate Library is shipped as part of the z/OS operating system beginning with release 1.9. The Alternate Library is also available as a free download from http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/.
  • "and future OS fixpacks" includes Service Releases (SR's) and Updates (RHEL). Fix pack is IBM terminology for a minor release that includes fixes (vs. features).
  • When running any of the following components on z/OS it is highly recommended to have a zAAP or run zAAP on zIIP: Rational Team Concert Build System toolkit, Rational Build Agent, Rational Team Concert ISPF daemon, CLM Server (or any of the capabilities). When using DB2 for z/OS as the database it is highly recommended to have a zIIP to allow the offloading of the JDBC processing. Follow this link for more information about the System z Application Assist Processor (zAAP). Follow this link for more information about the zAAP on zIIP Capability. Follow this link for more information about the IBM System z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP).
  • Server Operating System Pressures - CLM Platform Plans and Pressures Dashboard.
  • The RDNG Document Preview feature is not supported on: IBM i; IBM z/OS on System z; RHEL on POWER System or System z; SUSE on POWER System or System z; or Solaris operating systems. On those operating systems, image generation is not supported, so files will behave the same way they did in pre-CLM 5.0.2 releases. For more details, see: Uploaded file previews.

A2. Server Virtualization

For the supported Server Operating Systems above, virtualization is now supported using any of the IBM SWG supported hypervisors listed in the Server Virtualization Policy for IBM Software.
Notes:
  • Virtualization is supported for the Application layer (Server) Only. CLM does not currently support virtualization for the client(s).
  • Please check that the system requirements or release notes of the respective hypervisor (edition and version) supports the host operating system (edition and version) you plan to use for deploying the CLM application(s).

A3. Memory Requirements

CLM Application Server Memory Requirements

  • For CLM 5.0 and later you need a 64-bit operating system and a minimum of 4 GB of server memory allocated to the Java virtual machine running the Jazz Team Server and all three applications (Change and Configuration Management, Quality Management, Requirements Management) on one server for small deployments. Larger deployments or loads may require significantly more memory.
  • The Java virtual machine max heap memory setting is configured to -Xmx4000M for 64-bit platforms and -Xmx1200M for 32-bit platforms (for small-scale evaluation or demonstration purposes only). Note that the Java virtual machine heap size should only represent a fraction of the physical memory (RAM) of the server.
  • For 64-bit deployments where less memory is available, it is possible - although strongly discouraged - to configure the Java virtual machine memory size to a lower setting (e.g. -Xmx1200M to match the 32-bit setup) - be aware that it may results in memory outages and/or performance degradation. For the Tomcat installation, the server.startup script file to edit is located under JazzInstallDir/server/, and controlled by the line: set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xmx4000M. For a WebSphere Application Server installation, please consult the WebSphere Administrative Console, and modify Servers>Application Servers>server1>Java and Process Management>Process Definition>Java Virtual Machine>Maximum Heap Size.
  • Memory requirements can be reduced by running a subset of applications such as just CCM to support RTC-only functionality. Additionally if applications and/or the Jazz Team Server are running on different machines, memory requirements for specific machines may be reduced.

RRDI Server Memory Requirements

  • 8 GB RAM. More memory generally improves performance; required memory depends on the number of concurrent users, amount of data being requested, and the size of the database. Optimum swap space is double the physical memory.

A4. Network Infrastructure

  • IPv6
  • IPv4

A5. Application Servers

Database Support Notes
  • Database support is 64-bit only to align with 64-bit server platforms. For RRDI the 32-bit database client library is required (even though the database server is 64-bit).
  • Bundling: WAS 8.5.5 and DB2 10.5 bundles are only available on Passport Advantage and in the CLM Media (not on Jazz.net). Customers upgrading from CLM 4.0.x are entitled to continue using DB2 10.1 as long as CLM supports that version.
  • The DB2 HADR functionality is included and can be used with the Limited Use Workgroup and Enterprise Server Editions. However, there must be entitlement coverage for the secondary/standby server. There is a 1:1 entitlement ratio for DB2 with the entitlement purchased by the customer of the bundling product. For eg. 500 PVUs of Portal entitles customer to use a maximum of 500 PVUs of DB2 in support of Portal. The entitlement requirement for the standby server depends on the standby configuration used, and is defined in the DB2 license. ie. Hot standby requires equivalent entitlement as the Primary. Warm standby requires 100 PVUs/25 AUs, regardless of Primary. Cold standby server is free. Definition of hot/warm/cold standby configurations is also in the DB2 license.
  • Oracle is not supported for System z or IBM i.
  • SQL Server is supported on Windows Server only.
  • JTS Setup for Microsoft SQL Server does not support Integrated Authentication. You will be unable to install CLM in your environment. Ensure that server security is in mixed mode. To validate this, check server security -- it should be set to SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode.
  • Database Pressures - these items are NOT currently in plan but are under consideration for future quarterly releases:

C. Additional RTC Clients and Optional Tools

C1.RTC Clients N-1 Compatibility

  • For upgrades, after upgrading the Server, teams may choose to gradually upgrade the clients. CLM supports N-1 (keeping the clients one release behind) to allow for this more gradual update of workstations.
  • This applies to all the RTC clients including the Eclipse, VS.Net SCM CLI, Windows Shell and ISPF Clients. For clarity we also include the table below:
Server Compatible Clients
CLM 5.0.x Server RTC Eclipse Client 5.0.y, (x>=y)
RTC Eclipse Client v4.0.y or Later
  RTC VS.Net Client v.5.0.y, x>=y
VS.Net Client v.4.0.y or later
  RTC SCM CLI v.5.0.y, x>=y
RTC SCM CLI v.4.0.y or later
  RTC ISPF Client v.5.0.y, x>=y
RTC ISPF Client v.4.0.y or later
  RTC Windows Shell Client y, x>=y
RTC Windows Shell Client v.4.0.y or later
  RTC MSSCCI Provider v.5.0.y, x>=y
RTC MSSCCI Provider v.4.0.y or later

C2. RTC Build System Toolkit

  • The Build System Toolkit is a 32 bit client that can be run on the RTC Server and the Client Operating Systems. Please see the downloads page for the specific executable on your platform. For the RTC Eclipse client platforms there is an Installation Manager install. For z/OS there is a SMP/E install. For IBM i there is a LICPGM install. For all other platforms there are Plain Zips.
  • The Build System Toolkit is supported using the the versions of Java that RTC supports on the selected install platform. When installed on z/OS, the Build System Toolkit is also supported using Java 7.

C3. RTC SCM Command-Line Tool

  • The SCM Command-Line Tool is supported on all Server Platforms except for IBM i.

C4. RTC ISPF Client and ISPF Gateway

  • The Rational Team Concert ISPF Client is supported on all zOS platforms as specified under Server Operating Systems.
  • Prior to RTC 4.0.5, the Rational Team Concert ISPF client required cURL, an open source tool supplied through IBM Ported Tools Supplementary Toolkit for z/OS. Information on IBM Ported Tools can be found at: IBM Ported Tools for z/OS Product and Feature Information. If you already have IBM Ported Tools installed, cURL for z/OS is available by ordering the PTF for APAR OA2. Release 4.0.5 and later do not have this dependency.
  • For 4.0.5 the ISPF client supports the same Java versions as the CLM Server on z/OS. For 4.0.6 and later, the ISPF client supports those plus Java 7 on z/OS.
  • Information on the Supplementary Toolkit for z/OS can be found at Supplement Toolkit for z/OS.
  • Rational Team Concert uses the ISPF Gateway component of ISPF for access to z/OS files. For the ISPF Gateway component to function correctly, you must install a number of PTFs for the listed APARs. If you do not install the appropriate PTF, you might encounter problems with ISPF Gateway usage. For the supported ISPF releases, the PTFs are as follows:

    • for APAR OA35689:
      • z/OS 1.9: UA63763
      • z/OS 1.10: UA59950
      • z/OS 1.11: UA59951
      • z/OS 1.12: UA59951
