Working with Rational Developer for AIX and Linux and Rational Team Concert

How to share existing Local/Remote C/C++ projects, and how to convert RTC projects to Local/Remote C/C++ projects.

About this task

Rational Developer for AIX and Linux allows you to share your C/C++ projects with a Rational Team Concert (RTC) server, or convert projects loaded from a RTC server into Local/Remote C/C++ projects. This does require that you have installed both the RTC client and the Rational Developer for AIX and Linux clients in the same package.

Procedure

  1. Sharing an existing Local/Remote C/C++ project with a RTC server:
    1. Ensure the following prerequisites are full filled:
      • The RTC client is installed in the same package group as the Rational Developer for AIX and Linux client
      • Establish a repository connection to a RTC server
      • Connect to a Project Area on the RTC server
    2. If you do not already have a Local/Remote C/C++ project, create one.
      Note: Local/Remote C/C++ projects must be associated with a local location to be shared with an RTC server. For Remote Only C/C++ projects, a local location must be added to the project. For more information, see Associate Local Location
    3. From the Project Explorer view, right click on your project and select Team -> Share Project ...
    4. Select Jazz Source Control, and click Next Select the Repository, Stream, and Component you wish to share your project, click Finish.
  2. Convert a project loaded from a RTC server: When a project from RTC is loaded into the workspace, it is initially loaded as a purely local project. In order for the project to function properly, the project must be configured for remote development. A dialog will open and you will be prompted to convert the project to a remote project.
    If you want to enable the project for Local/Remote C/C++ development using Rational Developer for AIX and Linux software, then you should answer "Yes" to the above dialog. If you decide not to convert the project right away, you may launch the Convert to Local/Remote C/C++ Project wizard at a later time. To launch the Convert To A Local/Remote C/C++ Project wizard, select the project for conversion in the Project Explorer. Invoke the context menu on the project and then select Convert to Local/Remote C/C++ Project to launch the wizard. Then simply follow the instructions in Converting to a Local/Remote C/C++ project
