Lesson 2: Install the Rational Asset Manager plug-in

Before you can publish the UML model that you imported in Lesson 1, you must install the Rational Asset Manager Eclipse client plug-in in your workbench. In this lesson, you install the client plug-in by using the Eclipse update manager.

Before you begin

To complete this lesson, you must have access to the Rational Asset Manager server. Contact your Rational Asset Manager server administrator to obtain the Web client URL that you can use to access the Rational Asset Manager server and update site, for example, http://localhost:13080/com.ibm.ram.repository.web/extensions.faces.

After you have this information, enter the URL for the Web client in a browser and then click Help > Extensions. In the Eclipse Client Plug-in section, find the URL that is displayed besides the Update site area, for example: http://localhost:13080/com.ibm.ram.repository.web/RCPUpdateSite/

Procedure

To install the client plug-in:

  1. In the Rational modeling product, click Help > Install New Software
  2. On the Available software page, specify the URL for the update site, and click Add.
  3. On the Add Repository page specify the name for the site and click OK.
  4. Select the Rational Asset Manager Eclipse Client and click Next.
  5. On the Install Details page click Next.
  6. On the Review Licenses page, read the license agreement. If you agree to the terms and conditions of the agreement, click I accept and click Finish.
  7. After the installation is complete, in the Software Updates window, click Restart Now.

Results

To verify that the installation succeeded, open the Asset Management perspective. Click Window > Open Perspective > Other, select Asset Management, and click OK.
