Installing Serena Development Control

The Serena Development Control installer copies necessary files to the SBM installation directory path. The files copied include the Java war files and the SBM solution file. Serena Development Control needs to be installed on the machine where the SBM Server is installed in order to import the solution file. It is recommended for performance reasons, however, that the DVM web services be installed on the server where Dimensions CM is installed.

NOTES

If you are using the DVM Connect for Quality Center, you will need to have HP Quality Center installed, and download and install the Quality Center modules on the SBM Server before running the Development Control Installer. For details, see Installing and Registering Quality Center Modules in the Development Manager Connector for HP Quality Center / ALM Implementation Guide. There are also some post-installation steps you will need to carry out.

When installing Development Control via Remote Desktop access to a Windows 2003 system, installation may fail if you include the Connector to Quality Center option. To avoid this issue, run Remote Desktop in Console or Administration mode by running one of the following commands:

mstsc /admin

mstsc /console

There is sample data provided with Development Manager that consists of Dimensions CM sample data and SBM sample data. These sets of data are interrelated in that the items/objects in the SBM data and Dimensions CM data reference each other. You can install one or the other, or both sets of data.

If you require the Dimensions CM sample data, you need to run the Development Control installer on the server on which you have installed Dimensions CM.
If you require the SBM sample data, this will need to be installed when you run the Development Control installer on the SBM server.

NOTE This option is not selected by default, so you will have to select a custom install and make sure the option is selected.

To install Serena Development Control:

On the SBM Server, run the installer executable, Development Control.exe or Development Control 64-bit.exe depending on your server type.
