Installing Link Index Provider (LDX) on its own Server

When we introduced the Link Index Provider (LDX) as part of the Configuration Management (CM) feature set, we decided to reduce complexity and install it along with the Jazz Team Server (JTS) on the same server. By doing this, we made the configuration largely invisible to our customers. This eliminated configuration complexity but it meant that the two applications share the single server resources. If you have a large CM enabled deployment, you might want to separate the two, putting LDX on its own server. This document describes how to do that.

Implications

When you move LDX to its own server, the Jazz Team Server will not be able to configure LDX automatically. You (the administrator) will need to configure LDX yourself. This process is exactly the same as configuring the Lifecycle Query Engine (LQE). Specifically, you will need to add the TRS feeds yourself.

Steps

1. Install Liberty
2. Install Security Certificates
3. Deploy LDX on Liberty
4. Register LDX with the Jazz Team Server
5. Add TRS Feeds
6. Configure Jazz Team Server
