Installation

Deploy just like any other update site:

1. Extract the net.tadhara.rtc.workitemEditor.GenerateRPEAction.updatesite.ini file from the zip file to the server/conf/ccm/provision_profiles directory
2. Extract the net.tadhara.rtc.workitemEditor.GenerateRPEAction.updatesite folder to the server/conf/ccm/sites directory
3. Restart the server
4. Create a new Report Resource as GenerateRPE and add GenerateRPE.dta file

Updating an existing installation

1. Request a server reset in one of the following ways:
   • If the server is currently running, call https://server-address/ccm/admin/cmd/requestReset
   • Navigate to https://server-address/ccm/admin?internaltools=true so you can see the internal tools (on the left in the side-pane). Click on Server Reset and press the Request Server Reset button
   • If your server is down, you can delete the ccm built-on.txt file. Liberty packed with 6.0.3 puts this file in a subfolder of server/liberty/servers/clm/workarea/org.eclipse.osgi/**/ccm. The easiest way to locate the file is by using your operating system's search capabilities.
2. Delete previously deployed updatesite folder
3. Follow the file extraction steps from the section above
4. Restart the server

You can re-design GenerateRPE.dta file by using Engineering Optimization Publishing Document Studio
