About this task
By default, the product looks for the
oslcServiceProviders.xml file under the
RPE_HOME/config
directory. The benefit of creating your
oslcServiceProviders.xml file under
this default
RPE_HOME/config directory, is no further configuration is
required. However, you must remember to create a backup of this file when you want to upgrade to a
later version of the product. After installation and upgrade, you can place the backup
oslcServiceProviders.xml file under the
RPE_HOME/config
directory of the newly installed product.
You can specify the
oslcServiceProviders.xml file outside the default
RPE_HOME/config directory, but you must specify the location of the
oslcServiceProviders.xml file with the
com.ibm.rational.rpe.config.oslcServiceProviders property. If the location is an
HTTP secured path, you must specify the authentication credentials with the
com.ibm.rational.rpe.config.oslcServiceProviders.usr and
com.ibm.rational.rpe.config.oslcServiceProviders.pwd properties. Specify these
properties using one of the following scopes:
Creating the oslcServiceProviders.xml file outside the default
RPE_HOME/config directory supports team collaboration environments. The
oslcServiceProviders.xml file can be reused by multiple users when placing the
file in a shared location, and set the
com.ibm.rational.rpe.config.oslcServiceProviders property to point to the shared
location.
