Startup sequence of Rational ClearQuest components

This section describes the sequence of events that start the Rational® ClearQuest® server and Rational ClearQuest Web application.

Server startup sequence

When the Rational ClearQuest server starts:
  1. The Rational ClearQuest registry server starts and listens on port 1130 for the registration requests from the Rational ClearQuest request managers.
  2. The Rational ClearQuest request manager starts and obtains a list of the Rational ClearQuest registry servers, as specified in the property JTLRMIREGISTRYSERVERS in the file jtl.properties.

    To define this list of servers, follow the process described in Server architecture.

  3. The Rational ClearQuest request manager registers itself with each Rational ClearQuest registry server specified in the comma-separated list.
  4. The Rational ClearQuest request manager is now ready to receive requests from the Rational ClearQuest Web application.

Rational ClearQuest Web Application Startup Sequence

When the Rational ClearQuest Web client application starts:
  1. Rational Web Platform (RWP) starts and then starts the Rational ClearQuest Web application.
  2. The Rational ClearQuest Web application obtains the list of the available Rational ClearQuest registry servers, as specified in the property JTLRMIREGISTRYSERVERS in the file jtl.properties.

    To define this list of servers, see Server architecture.

  3. The Rational ClearQuest Web application sends a lookup request to the first Rational ClearQuest registry server in the list obtained from the file jtl.properties, to obtain a list of the available Rational ClearQuest request managers.

    If the first registry server in the list is not available, the Rational ClearQuest Web application sends a lookup request to the second registry server in the list, and so on.

  4. After the Rational ClearQuest Web application completes the lookup on one of the available registry servers, it is ready to receive Rational ClearQuest Web requests.
