Prerequisites
IBM Rational Team Concert 4.0.7 must be installed to apply this iFix. Note: Before you install the server patch file, verify that no other test fixes are installed. If other fixes are installed, contact IBM Software Support. |
Installation Instructions
Click the corresponding tab below to review the installation instructions to apply the iFix on a server or client host:
Tab navigation
- Server update- selected tab,
- Client update
Note: Before you install this server patch file, verify that no other test fixes or hot fixes are installed. If other fixes are installed, contact IBM Software Support.
For a CLM deployment on a single server, complete the following steps once.
For a distributed CLM deployment, complete the same steps on each server.
Procedure to install the server patch:
- Stop the CLM server.
- Verify whether the following directory exists:
server_installation_directory/server/patch
. - If the directory exists, back up and remove its contents.
- If the directory does not exist, create it.
- Copy the server patch file into the
/server/patch
directory. - Start the server.
Note: For a distributed CLM deployment, complete the same steps on each server.
Procedure to uninstall the server patch:
- Stop the CLM server.
- Back up and remove the contents of the following directory:
server_installation_directory/server/patch
- Start the CLM server.
Note: For a distributed CLM deployment, complete the same steps on each server.
Procedure to install the client update site:
- Extract the update site file to the computer where the client is installed.
- In the Rational Team Concert client, click Help > Install New Software.
- In the Install window, click Add.
- In the Add Repository window, click Local and navigate to the extracted update site file.
Note: The update site root directory contains a site.xml file. - Select the patches to install.
- If you agree to the terms, accept the license agreement and click Install.
- After the installation is complete, restart the Rational Team Concert client.
Note: To update the feature patch, you can install the new version directly over the old patch. You do not have to uninstall the old patch.
Procedure to uninstall the client update site:
- In the Rational Team Concert client, click Help > About Rational Team Concert > Installation Details.
- Select the patches to uninstall and click Uninstall.
- After the uninstall process is complete, restart the Rational Team Concert client.
WARNING:
If you run the uninstall process on a Rational Team Concert client that was installed by using a .zip file, the feature patch will be removed along with the original feature. Removing the patch will break the functionality of the affected feature.
For a client that was installed by using a .zip file, reinstall the features by downloading the Rational Team Concert p2 repository from Jazz.net, and use the same installation steps with the following exception:
- For step 4, click Archive and select the p2 repository .zip file and install the Rational Team Concert feature. This step will remove the patched plug-ins and replace the missing features with the original versions of the feature from the p2 repository.
If you run the uninstall process on a Rational Team Concert client that was installed by using the p2 repository, to remove the patch, you must uninstall the entire Rational Team Concert p2 feature and then reinstall the entire Rational Team Concert feature through the p2 repository.

Rational Team Concert | ||
PI22400 | Backport defect 336076 into the 4.0.7 maintenance stream. |
This fix must also be applied to the Jazz build engine. In order to apply it take the attached jar file com.ibm.team.build.engine_3.0.801.v20141107_0149.jar and replace the existing jar file com.ibm.team.build.engine_3.0.801.v20140505_2247.jar in the Build Toolkit install directory under /buildsystem/buildengine/eclipse/plugins. When the new jar is in place start the jbe with -clean once. The engine is then ready to go with normal parameters. In addition to that fix, the client-side update site must be installed as well. To install the update site follow the directions above. |
PI22400 | repotools -renindex gives an error: SEVERE: Failed to register SecureProtocolSocketFactory. |

WebSphere Application Server | ||
PI22400 | Fix defect in redirect web page. |
WAR files changed in iFix006 and must be re-deployed. Follow the instructions for the web server you use (WAS or Tomcat). NOTE: If the context root used by the any application is not the default, it will be necessary to rename the war file (and adjust some of the directory paths referenced below) based on the context root currently in use. For example:
In summary, the name of the war file needs to be the same as the respective context root in use NOTE: For users of the RDNG browser add-on, the rm.war file must be properly matched with the browser plugin files. This only applies during installation of the plugin, so for those users that have already installed the plugin, no action is required. For any new installations of the browser plugin, the customer should contact IBM Support and request a refresh of the browser add-on files along with the properly paired version of the rm.war file that includes this fix.
