Hi Pete

Setup for RTC can be daunting - at RJS we found that it is easier to put 
the Jazz server on a Windows box and install the IBM i build component 
on IBM i - you have to do that.

It seemed that it was just troublesome to install the Jazz server on IBM i.

Now the community edition is nice, up to 10 users - but no IBM i support 
specifically, as I recall.

To get the IBM i stuff, you need the Enterprise Edition - not at all 
cheap - nor are any of the other SCM products.

Just a thought - maybe it'd be possible to fold the IBM i build bits 
into the community edition - not everything, just enough for this 
request, if possible to limit some of it.

Then smaller shops could get that edition and benefit from it at low 
cost and maybe lower effort.

I really like RTC - it gives all stakeholders visibility and 
accountability  in projects. You can create requirements or stories (if 
doing Agile, its native methodology, IIRC), and it flows nicely into RDi 
and other Rational tools like Quality Manager. Maybe there's a community 
edition of that!
