In each scenario, you can install the product either by using IBM Installation Manager or by manually installing the deployment .zip files. If you are using Installation Manager, you can use the GUI, console mode, or run a silent installation from a command line.
Starting in version 7.2, IBM Rational Team Concert is a required component that you must install. Rational Team Concert requires at least an additional 250 MB of disk space for the server files, and its database needs at least 5 GB of free space. You cannot install Rational Asset Manager onto an existing Rational Team Concert server. You cannot update Rational Team Concert in the Rational Asset Manager 7.2 server. In a WebSphere network deployment environment, Rational Team Concert cannot be deployed onto clusters; that component must be deployed to a single application server only.
In all of these scenarios, you can also install the Rational Asset Manager Eclipse client to interact with the repository.
The Eclipse client can communicate with a Rational Asset Manager server that uses the same version or the version that is one level earlier, including fix packs of each version. If possible, use the same version of both the Rational Asset Manager server and the Eclipse client. For more information, see Eclipse client communicates with servers that use either the same version or one-level earlier version.
