Names and locations of applications included in this release

Before you begin the deployment and installation of the current release, be sure that you know which applications are included and where the products are to be installed.

The following domain-specific applications are included in this release:

  • Jazz® Team Server provides the basic services that enable a group of applications to work together as a single logical server. Examples of such services are license and user administration, and application services discovery.
  • The Change and Configuration Management (CCM) application delivers capabilities for change management (work items), software configuration management (SCM), planning, and automation and building.
  • The Quality Management (QM) application delivers capabilities for test management, including test planning, creation, and execution.
  • The Requirements Management (RM) application delivers capabilities for capturing, managing, and tracking requirements throughout the development lifecycle.
  • The Global Configuration Management application provides capabilities for assembling and managing streams and baselines that can span multiple project areas of the ELM applications.
  • The IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Engineering Insights integration by organizing, visualizing, and analyzing products and their development resources.
  • The Link Index Provider application provides capabilities for cross project areas link contribution and discovery in the context of global configurations.
  • Use the Report Builder to quickly and easily consolidate data from a variety of data sources across your integrated lifecycle tools and project areas. Explore the reports that are provided or create your own and then view them in a private or team dashboard as tables or charts.
  • Starting in version 6.0 release, Data Collection Component is the successor of the former default CLM data collection (also referred to as Java ETL in CLM). Data Collection Component is designed to improve performance by using parallel and concurrent processing.
  • Use the Lifecycle Query Engine to index data from across lifecycle tools that support the tracked resource set (TRS) specification.

By default, the applications and a Jazz Team Server can be installed in the same web container, such as a single instance of WebSphere® Application Server. They can also be installed into multiple web containers, by which you can distribute the deployment on multiple physical servers. Either way, you must install product license keys into the Jazz Team Server to permit access to the capabilities that the applications provide.

Location of the installed applications

By default, the software is installed into the JazzTeamServer directory. The default installation directory on Windows is C:\Program Files\IBM\JazzTeamServer, and the default installation directory on Linux® and IBM AIX® is /opt/IBM/JazzTeamServer.

The Jazz Team Server and each of the applications have their own installation subdirectories nested under JazzTeamServer\server\conf. If you expand this directory, you can find subdirectories for ccm, jts, qm, rm, dcc, gc, ldx, lqe, relm, and rs. However, if you did not install all of the applications, you might not see all of the subdirectories.

These subdirectories contain several configuration files for that particular application, such as:

  • teamserver.properties
  • services.xml
  • log4j.properties
  • provision_profiles
  • app.properties RS only
  • patch.properties
  • lqe.properties LQE and LDX only
  • dbconnection.properties LQE and LDX only

These subdirectories also contain the Derby database for each application, among other things. The qm directory, in particular, also contains test execution adapters, migration utilities, and more.
