IBM WebSphere Developer for zSeries, Fix Pack Fix 6.0.0.1 Installation Instructions
This document describes how to install IBM WebSphere® Developer for zSeries Fix Pack 6.0.0.1 either directly from the IBM Rational Product update site or from
a downloadable, self extracting file. If you install directly from the IBM
Rational product update site, installation is performed through the Help -> Software Updates -> IBM
Rational Product Updater capability built into the product. You also have the option
of downloading
a self extracting file that you can extract and then install locally from
your machine using Help -> Software
Updates -> IBM Rational Product Updater
To
install this Fix Pack, you need only follow the self
extracting file installation instructions or follow the IBM Rational Product Updater installation instructions. Do not try to perform both types of installation
on the same machine.
Directions for the IBM Rational Product Updater install are also
listed below
Please Note: There are known issues that may result
in problems during or after applying the fix. To ensure a proper
installation:
- Follow the instructions below carefully
- If you have disabled any plug-ins either through Update Manager or by
modifying plugin.xml files, enable them prior to installation.
It is recommended that you install directly from the IBM server, but a
downloadable version of the fix is available for users who meet the following
criteria:
- Have slow or unstable Internet connections and would like use a download
manager with resume capability
- Have trouble accessing the live IBM server from behind firewalls
- Would rather download the fixes and install at a later time
- Are site administrators for a group of developers who do not have direct
access to the Internet
