ALM Advanced Deployment<\/strong><\/p>\n

The installation of ALM has always been very straightforward. But within large organisations there is often a need to have more control over the method of deploying ALM.<\/p>\n

Therefore, we have added several enhancements to the ALM installation procedure to allow custom installation of the ALM PRO software, configuration settings and License file.<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n

To benefit from the enhanced installation features of ALM follow the steps below:<\/p>\n

> Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download the ALM software from the [software] section from the RSconnect Customer Service Centre (CSC)\n
      \n
    1. http:\/\/www.rsconnect.net\/en\/login<\/a><\/li>\n
    2. Forgot password ? Click the [forgot password] link<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    3. Download the appropriate license file from the [License] section<\/li>\n
    4. Extract the setup file and the license file in the same directory\n
        \n
      1. Make sure the license file is named almmodule.lic<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
      2. Run the installation on the local machine and verify the license in the About menu<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        > Step 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Generate a customer specific settings file\n
            \n
          1. Run ALM as an administrator<\/u><\/li>\n
          2. Double click ALM from the system tray<\/li>\n
          3. Click the Options\/Admin menu<\/li>\n
          4. Configure all required settings<\/li>\n
          5. Click Save<\/li>\n
          6. Re-open ALMPRO and open the Admin Settings<\/li>\n
          7. Open the Export TAB, click the Export button to store the configuration in a settings file<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
          8. Store the settings file in the same directory as the other two files\n
              \n
            1. Make sure the settings file is named almsettings.txt<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n
            2. The folder should now list 3 files\n
                \n
              • exe<\/li>\n
              • lic<\/li>\n
              • txt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Deployment<\/strong><\/p>\n

                Now when you start the ALMPRO setup manually (run as Administrator) or via a scripted installation, ALMPRO setup will use the files located in the same source directory and will deploy and apply them during the installation process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
