How to log on jazz team server?

Question

I've installed jazz team server from RTC-Web-Installer-win-4.0 using IBM installation manager , then I start server and try to create new jazz repository connection using RTC visual studio client , using URI of localhost with port 9332 , ID : "ADMIN" , password "ADMIN" then I got this error:

CRRTC8521E: Failed to contact the repository 'ADMIN@localhost' 

Note : I'm using windows 7 .

From jazz.net, the call stack:

-I tried to ping on server using the URI /jazz/ or URI/ccm/

but ping request couldn`t find that URI telling me to check name and try again

Thanks

Answer 1

All, I had the same issue after installing Jazz locally. Logging in the first time I used Admin>Admin. Had I read more carefully, I would have seen that the default login when hitting the https://localhost:port/jts/setup are UPPERCASE ADMIN>ADMIN.

The instructions here https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?re=1&topic=/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_s_server_installation_setup_wizard.html&scope=null do say that. Read carefully!

Answer 2

@ VonC : according to email configuration settings , here are the question and answer as mentioned in jazz:

when setting e-mail configurations using https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?re=1&topic=/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_s_server_installation_setup_wizard.html&scope=null to enable mail invitation , i needed to set some values ,are these values correct ? SMTP Server name (smtp.localhost.com)

SMTP Username (same as jazz server ID )

email from address (name@localhost.com)

as when i use these values then test connection it gave me : Exception reading response;nested exceptionis : java.net.socketTimeoutException: Read time out , any ideas ?!

the solution is in using correct server name (127.0.0.1 or localhost) or add the mentioned server name in host file in c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc. and it works with me now using localhost or 127.0.0.1 but also it shows that test succeeded on email settings page , i found error 505:invalid and this fixed by disabling email scan feature in norton but in both cases of norton ..i rxed the mail in spam . notice : i changed the from address to my email and didn`t use any user name or pw as my smtp server needs no authentication to work (it was misunderstand to use username and pw of jazz server)

Answer 3

@ all : many thanks for your help ,

i finally could create new repository from visual studio client with the following solution :

• installing new server and client in administartor mode , using c:/RCLM4-SERVER for server , c:/RCLM4-CLIENT for client , c:/RCLM-SHARED for client shared files.

• after start server configure it according to https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?re=1&topic=/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_s_server_installation_setup_wizard.html&scope=null using URI : https://localhost:9443/jts/setup , user name and pw are ADMIN , while setup i changed those user name and pw to new ones .

• create new project using previous web client .

• create new repository from vs client using uri : https://localhost:9443/ccm , using name localhost ,new ID and PW during server setup ,here is the clue in using the right port 9443 and right mode ccm and correct name from vs client.

Answer 4

The error

log4j:ERROR Could not find value for key log4j.appender.perfCounters.layout

is covered by work item 60463 (you need a -- free -- jazz account to see it)

I checked the latest log4.properties that we ship. It has the following entry:

# Sometimes Log4j complains, so lets substitute the PatternLayout for right now
log4j.appender.perfCounters.layout=org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout

It isn't described as a blocking error, though, which means your instance probably doesn't work for another reason.

Makes sure the JTS ADMIN access is enabled.

And double-check the deployment and start of JTS within an Apache (Tomcat) server.

As mentioned in jazz.net, the right addresses to use are:

• https://localhost:9443/jts/setup
  or
• https://localhost:9443/jts/admin
  or
• https://localhost:9443/ccm/admin

Provided you did an installation as Administrator.

When you install your RTC server, it will generally consist of two apps, CCM and the JTS (though from the tomcat console output you pasted above, I see you installed all the CLM products, which consists of JTS, CCM, QM, and RM).
After installing, you should visit https://localhost:9443/jts/setup to setup the JTS, register CCM, and setup CCM. Your login will be ADMIN/ADMIN.

After finishing setup, you can then connect your RTC client to your CCM.
The URL you will use for your connection is https://localhost:9443/ccm.
Note that you may have disabled the ADMIN user during setup. If so, you will have to provide a username and password for the user you created during setup.

Your problems above were that you were:

• either using the wrong port (https://localhost:9332/ccm)
• or using the wrong context root (https://localhost:9443/jazz)
• or you added extra which shouldn't have been there (https://localhost:9443/ccm/admin).

The OP reports having been able to complete the installation:

I finally could create new repository from visual studio client with the following solution :

• installing new server and client in administrator mode.
• after start server configure it according to "Running the setup by using Custom setup in the setup wizard" using URI : https://localhost:9443/jts/setup, user name and password ADMIN (during the setup, I changed those user name and pw to new ones).
• create new project using previous web client.
• create new repository from vs client using uri: https://localhost:9443/ccm, using new ID and PW during server setup.

Answer 5

I think there might be two problems, the first is that you've got an incorrect URL, the second is that you haven't finished all the setup as some of the final setup must be done using the admin account on the web client.

using URI of localhost with port 9332 , ID : "ADMIN" , password "ADMIN" then I got this error

That's in contrast to the information provided by the RTC server:

Apr 14, 2013 11:23:31 AM org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol start
INFO: Starting ProtocolHandler ["http-bio-9080"]
Apr 14, 2013 11:23:31 AM org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol start
INFO: Starting ProtocolHandler ["http-bio-9443"]
Apr 14, 2013 11:23:31 AM org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol start
INFO: Starting ProtocolHandler ["ajp-bio-9009"]

According to that information the ports Rational Team Concert is listening on are 9080, 9443, and 9009. The default URL for admin access should be https://localhost:9443/jts/admin. You'll want to visit that URL via a web browser first because there's some final setup you'll need to do, such as creating a new project.

After creating a new project, you can invite yourself to the project with a non-admin account. You'll get an invite which will allow the Visual Studio RTC client to connect to the RTC repository much more easily.
