Installing Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager

  1. Launch the Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager launchpad. Click Install the server. This will launch Installation Manager.
  2. You can choose to install Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager, the Jazz™ Team Server, and the Configuration Management application.
    • The Configuration Management application may also be installed with Rhapsody® Design Manager. When you are installing Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager you will also be offered the option of installing the Configuration Management application - this is useful if you want to install the component on a different machine from Rhapsody Design Manager. Only one of these should be integrated with the Jazz Team Server. If you choose to install the application on multiple machines, be cautious when installing and upgrading the component that you are selecting the correct one.
    • All applications whose data you want to access from Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager should be linked to the same Jazz Team Server. If you do not have Jazz Team Server installed can select to install it now, or install it later on a different machine. If you already have Jazz Team Server installed as part of another application, do not install it again; you will associate Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager later in the configuration process.
