Systemd Unit file for Rational CLM and Team Concert

Linux is a very popular platform to run the IBM CLM tools on (i.e. Quality Manger, Team Concert, DOORs NG, etc). However, out of the box, there is not a built in autostart feature for the platform. Naturally, you want this to autostart in a production environment. Here is a handy systemd unit file.

First, create the unit file under /etc/systemd/service/clm.service

[Unit]
 Description = IBM CLM Server
 Documentation = Vist https://www.strongback.us for more helpful IBM CLM tips

[Service]
 ExecStart = /opt/IBM/JazzTeamServer/server/server.startup
 ExecStop = /opt/IBM/JazzTeamServer/server/server.shutdown
 Type=forking
 LimitNOFILE=65536
 TimeoutStartSec=3min

[Install]
 WantedBy = multi-user.target

Next, enable the service:

systemctl enable clm

Now you can start the service with

systemctl start clm

Shut it down with

sytemctl stop clm

Don’t forget you should also have one for your HTTP Server and DB2 server.
