Affected Products and Versions
IBM Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapter for HP ALM 1.1.2 and 1.1.2.1
Remediation/Fixes
The IBM Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapter can be updated with a corrected
Tomcat by following the instructions below. This is only applicable to
products deployed on Apache Tomcat. Be sure to upgrade all the components that
your deployment uses.
Note: Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapter 1.1.x product modification may
contain updated Tomcats, however 1.1.x iFixes typically do not update Tomcat.
If you were referred to this technote from a security bulletin to perform a
manual Tomcat update for a version that is not specifically mentioned in this
technote, it is safe to assume that the security bulletin is correct and that
you can also apply the procedures in this technote to the Tomcat versions
described in the security bulletin.
NOTE: Apache Tomcat is only included by IBM Rational Lifecycle Integration
Adapter version 1.1.2 and 1.1.2.1 Previous versions oft he RLIA SE HP Adapter
were released as WAR files only.
To obtain the latest Apache Tomcat, please visit the Apache Tomcat website and
download versions 6.0.43 or higher version (in 6.0 stream). Once the Tomcat is
obtained, follow the instructions below to replace the existing Tomcat:
Upgrading Tomcat installation
1. Stop the Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapter server.
Note: The applications may be running in different application server
instances or using a delegated converter.
2. Navigate to the original install directory and rename the JRE folder
<InstallDir>/server/tomcat
to
<InstallDir>/server/tomcat-Original
This will ensure that the original Tomcat is kept as a backup in the event a
restore is required.
Example (Linux):
mv <InstallDir>/server/tomcat <InstallDir>/server/tomcat-Original
3. Unzip the new Tomcat file provided by support to the Installation
directory.
Example (Linux): unzip <newInsallZip> -d <InstallDir>/server/tomcat/
4. Delete the following directories from the exploded archive:
<InstallDir>/server/tomcat/webapps/docs
<InstallDir>/server/tomcat/webapps/examples
<InstallDir>/server/tomcat/webapps/host-manager
<InstallDir>/server/tomcat/webapps/manager
5. Copy the Apache Tomcat SSL Keystore from the backup:
<InstallDir>/server/tomcat-Original/ibm-team-ssl.keystore
to
<InstallDir>/server/tomcat/ibm-team-ssl.keystore
6. Copy the Apache Tomcat Server configuration from the backup:
<InstallDir>/server/tomcat-Original/conf/server.xml
to
<InstallDir>/server/tomcat/conf/server.xml
7. Copy the HP Adapter WAR file from the backup:
<InstallDir>/server/tomcat-Original/webapps/hpqm.war
to
<InstallDir>/server/tomcat/webapps/hpqm.war
