Installing custom review JAR files

If you develop a custom review that extends the com.ibm.ram.extension.CustomReviewProcess class, you must install the resultant Java archive file into IBM® Rational® Asset Manager.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Rational Asset Manager web client as a repository administrator.
  2. Click Administration.
  3. Click Custom Extensions.
  4. In the Legacy Review Extensions section, click New Review Extension. The New Extension window opens.
  5. In the Class name field, type the class name. The class name must include the package name. For example: com.example.ram.my.custom.review.
  6. In the .jar or .zip file field, browse to the JAR file that contains the custom extension on your local file system.
  7. Click OK. The review extension is installed.

Results

An approved asset of the Custom Extension type that contains the JAR file is added to the repository.

Important: Do not modify this asset on the Asset Details page or revert it to Draft state.

What to do next

To remove a custom extension from the server, click Delete.
Important: If you delete a custom extension, you can no longer see the results and history of the extension for any assets that used the extension.
