Planning the deployment and installation
Before installing Rational ClearQuest, complete planning
tasks to determine what ClearQuest components to install, review system
requirements, and complete required and optional configuration tasks
to prepare your environment for the ClearQuest installation process.
Verifying and extracting electronic images
If you download the installation files from IBM Passport Advantage®,
you must extract the electronic image from the compressed files before
you can install the product.
Installing silently
Use IBMInstallation Manager to run
a silent install of a Rational product. When you run a silent install,
the Installation Manager interface
is not available. Installation Manager uses a
response file that contains commands required to install the product
package.
Installing from the launchpad program
The launchpad program provides you with a single location
to view release information and start the installation process.
Installing the product package using the Installation Manager GUI
The following steps describe how to install the product package by using the Installation Manager graphical user interface (GUI). You can
optionally install product updates at the same time that the base product package is installed; skip
the update steps in this topic if they do not apply to your installation.
Installing License Key Administrator
On Windows platforms, download and install License Key
Administrator for managing licenses with Rational Common Licensing.
Configuring your environment after installing
After installing IBMRational ClearQuest,
there are series of tasks to perform to verify that the installation
has completed successfully and to configure the installation for your
site.
