Configuring the Rational ClearQuest server properties on multiple computers

All components of Rational® ClearQuest® Request Manager must be configured to register with the Rational ClearQuest registry servers, which run on all servers.
When one of the servers is unavailable, all subsequent requests are routed to another server. To illustrate the configuration process, consider this sample environment:

The configuration process consists of these steps:

  1. Configuring the Rational ClearQuest Request Manager properties on the server computers
  2. Restarting all services

Configuring the Rational ClearQuest Request Manager properties on the server computers

By default, the Rational ClearQuest Request Manager on each server is configured to register only with the Rational ClearQuest registry server that runs on the same machine.

To enable these Request Manager to register themselves with Rational ClearQuest registry servers that are running on other computers, edit its jtl.properties file to specify those computers. This file is located in these directories:
  • On Windows systems

    C:\Program Files\Rational\ClearQuest\cqweb\cqserver\config\jtl.properties

  • On the UNIX system and Linux

    /opt/rational/clearquest/cqweb/cqserver/config/jtl.properties

To configure the Request Manager properties:

  1. Open the jtl.properties files on mickey and minnie.
  2. Set the value of the JTLRMIREGISTRYSERVERS property, as follows:
    JTLRMIREGISTRYSERVERS=mickey:1130,minnie:1130

By default, the file jtl.properties represents its own name as localhost. To avoid confusion, specify all computers explicitly. That is, replace the localhost specification with the static IP address or the computer name, in this case, mickey and minnie, respectively.

Configuring the Rational ClearQuest Web application

Configure the Rational ClearQuest Web environment to access the appropriate servers. For example, you might be running the Rational ClearQuest Web application on Rational Web Platform (RWP) or WebSphere Application Server (WAS).

Restarting all services

The changes to the configuration take effect after you restart all Rational ClearQuest Web client and Web application environment services (such as RWP or WAS) on all client and server computers.
