Installing or updating Rational Team Concert Client

This topic describes how to install or update Rational Team Concert™ Client with this product.

About this task

IBM® Rational Team Concert Client, Version 1.0 is included as an integrated feature that you can select to install at the same time you install the product. (You can add this feature later by using the Modify wizard in IBM Installation Manager.)

If you update Rational® Software Modeler, any updates for Rational Team Concert Client, Version 1.0, that might be included with the product update, will be applied.

You can also install Rational Team Concert Client obtained from the jazz.net Web site into your product Package Group; it is not necessary that you install the Rational Team Concert Client feature provided with the product. If you enabled the Rational Team Concert Client feature when you installed your product, and later you install Rational Team Concert Client into the same package group, the latest version of Rational Team Concert will take effect. For example, if you install Rational Team Concert Client 2.0 on top of Rational Software Modeler, you will get Rational Team Concert Client 2.0 functionality.

Below are some high-level example steps. For full details, see the Rational Team Concert Client installation guide.

Procedure

  1. Download Rational Team Concert 2.0 (or later) from jazz.net, extract the contents and then run the installation program.
  2. On the Rational Team Concert Launchpad, select Install Rational Team Concert Client for Eclipse IDE.
  3. In the Install wizard, select to install into the Package Group where you installed your product.
  4. When the wizard completes, Rational Team Concert Client 2.0, or later, is installed into your product installation.

What to do next

Now, you can access Rational Team Concert Client views and perspectives from within your existing product workspace.
Note: If the product is shell-shared (shares a package group) with a product that included a newer version of Rational Team Concert, the shell-shared products will both use the latest version of Rational Team Concert Client. For example, if Rational Functional Tester V8.1, which has Rational Team Concert Client 2.0, is installed with Rational Software Modeler, that has Rational Team Concert Client 1.0, both shell-shared products will automatically use Rational Team Concert Client 2.0. If you need to use an earlier version of Ration Team Concert (version 1.0 in the example) you need to:
  1. Uninstall the version of the shell-shared product that included the latest version of Rational Team Concert Client. (In the example, uninstall Rational Functional Tester V8.1.)
  2. Reinstall the earlier version of Rational Team Concert Client in the product that provided it. (In the example, run the Modify wizard and add the Rational Team Concert Client 1.0 feature in Rational Software Modeler.)
