Installing Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager, the Lifecycle Query Engine, and the Jazz Reporting Service

For an evaluation topology, you can use the same machine to install Rational® Engineering Lifecycle Manager, the Configuration Management application, Lifecycle Query Engine, and the Jazz Reporting Service.

Installation options

You can access the packages for Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager in many ways. To find your best installation option, read about Scenarios for installing with the Installation Manager graphical interface.

Installing Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager

  1. Launch the Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager launchpad. Click Install the server. This launches Installation Manager.
  2. Choose your installation package: Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager, the Jazz™ Team Server, and the Configuration Management application.
    • The Configuration Management application might already be installed with Rhapsody® Design Manager. When you are installing Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager, select the Configuration Management application if you want to install the component on a different machine than your Rhapsody Design Manager system. Only one of these applications should be integrated with the Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager. If you install the application on multiple servers, be sure to select the correct application when you install or upgrade the component.
    • If you do not have Jazz Team Server installed, 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 with the Jazz Team Server later in the configuration process.

    • If you are upgrading to version 5.0.1, use the same Jazz Reporting Service or SPARQL Gateway context root that you used in your existing application version. Select the custom context root option, and enter SPARQL_Gateway in the Application context root values field.
