Installing the IBM Internet of Things Continuous Engineering Solution

The IBM Internet of Things (IoT) Continuous Engineering Solution is an integrated solution for systems lifecycle management. The combination of products, components, and practices is built on an open integration platform so you can share plans and requirements, model artifacts, and manage testing while applying best practices and built-in process guidance. The solution consists of the following products and components:

IBM Rational License Key Server v8.1.5

The license manager monitors activities such as license access, simultaneous usage, and idle time. When you start an IBM Rational product, you are initially unlicensed. If a license for that product is available, the license manager gives you a license. You keep the license while you are using the product. When you exit the product, your license is returned to the license manager and is made available for another user.

IBM DOORS® Next Generation v6.0.4

Rational DOORS Next Generation is a requirements management tool that leverages a web client and IBM Rational Jazz™ platform. With IBM Rational DOORS Next Generation, you can define and manage requirements in systems and software engineering projects.

IBM Rational DOORS v9.6.1.9

Rational DOORS software allows you to capture, trace, analyze and manage changes to requirements and helps you to demonstrate compliance to regulations and standards.

IBM Rational DOORS Web Access v9.6.1.9

Rational DOORS Web Access enables stakeholders, including business managers, development, QA, customers, and suppliers, to easily create, elaborate and validate requirements within a web browser. This can help avoid errors early in the development lifecycle and reduce project costs.

IBM Rational Rhapsody® Design Manager v6.0.4

Rational Rhapsody Design Manager enables you to share, collaborate and manage your designs across the systems engineering and embedded software development lifecycle.

IBM Rational Rhapsody v8.2.1

Rational Rhapsody helps systems engineers and embedded software developers analyze, design, develop, test, and deliver embedded, real-time systems and software.

IBM Rational Team Concert™ v6.0.4

Rational Team Concert is a team collaboration tool that is built on a scalable, extensible platform. Rational Team Concert provides features that integrate development project tasks including iteration planning, process definition, change management, defect tracking, source control, build automation, and reporting.

IBM Rational Quality Manager v6.0.4

Rational Quality Manager is a collaborative, web-based tool that offers comprehensive test planning, test construction, and test artifact management functions throughout the software development lifecycle.

IBM Rational Jazz Reporting Service v6.0.4

Jazz Reporting Service is the default reporting solution for the IoT Continuous Engineering Solution. It is an alternative to the complex reporting capabilities that are available in many Rational products and solutions. The table in the article The new reporting options in version 6.0 helps you figure out what reporting option is best for you.

IBM Rational Global Configuration Management v6.0.4

Global Configuration Management (GCM) is an application that assembles configurations for itself and other contributing applications so teams can gain an overall view of the physical and logical parts of their product offering.

IBM Rational Link Index Provider v6.0.4

When project areas are enabled for configurations, for team members to see, use, create, or remove links across project areas, a Jazz administrator must install the Global Configuration Management (GCM) and Link Index Provider (LDX) applications.

IBM Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager v6.0.4

Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager enhances the IoT Continuous Engineering Solution by providing the capability to visualize, analyze, and organize systems product engineering data coming from many tools. Engineering teams get a better understanding of the relationships in that data, so they can make more effective and timely decisions.
