1.0 Overview

This document describes how to install IBM^® WebSphere^® Developer for zSeries Interim Fix 6.0.1.1. This interim fix is provided as an update and installed using IBM Rational Product Updater. The update is generally installed directly from the IBM update server, however you can also choose to download an archive file that contains the update and then use Rational Product Updater to perform local installations. The following sections describe how to install this update.

2.0 Installation prerequisites

Workstation:
This update requires that you have the following products and fix packs installed on Windows:

• IBM RationalŽ Application Developer V6.0.1.1 or IBM RationalŽ Software Architect V6.0.1.1
• IBM WebSphereŽ Developer for zSeries V6.0.1. This update cannot be installed directly from an IBM update server, and must be downloaded from the support website and installed via a local installation. For download and installation instructions, see the support website.
• J2EE Connector Tools V6.0.1. This update is installed when you install WebSphere Developer for zSeries V6.0.1

If you disabled any product features by modifying the feature.xml files or through the Update Manager by clicking Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration in the workbench, you must enable them before you install this update.

Host:
For information about host prerequisites, refer to the Host prerequisites and corequisites for WebSphere Developer for zSeries section of the "IBM WebSphere Developer for zSeries Prerequisites" guide.

3.0 Workstation installation instructions

To install directly from the IBM update server:

1. Start Rational Product Updater from the Windows Start menu. By default this is under Start > Programs > IBM Rational > IBM Rational Product Updater. Select the Installed Products tab.

   

   
   
2. Click Find Updates. You may be prompted to install required updates to Rational Product Updater. If prompted, allow Rational Product Updater to install the updates and restart itself. If you are not prompted you already have the necessary updates. Rational Product Updater will then retrieve a list of available updates.
3. Select IBM WebSphere Developer for zSeries 6.0.1.1 from the list of available updates. If any of the updates listed in the Installation Prerequisites section have not yet been installed, you must also select those updates (all available updates are selected by default).

   Note: If you do not have IBM WebSphere Developer for zSeries V6.0.1 installed, the 6.0.1.1 update will not appear on the list of available updates. Refer to the Installation prerequisites section for installation information.

   Any updates that have already been installed will not appear on the list of available updates.

   

   
   
4. Click Install Updates.
5. If there is special information for any items that you have selected, a Notices dialog box will open. For example, for a very large update there may be a notice recommending that you download an archive file containing the update and use Rational Product Updater to install the update locally. Review the notice information and any other information to which it may point you.
   
   If you have selected multiple items to install, you may need to review multiple notices. Click each update listed in the top pane of the dialog box to display its notice in the lower pane. After you have reviewed all of the notices, click Continue to close the dialog box and proceed, or Cancel to quit the installation.
   
   
6. Read and accept the license agreements for the selected updates, and then follow the remaining installation dialogs to install the selected updates.
   
   Note: Depending on the speed of your computer processor, the amount of RAM, and the speed of your Internet connection, the update(s) could take an extended period of time to download and install.
7. When the updates are complete, a message will be displayed by Rational Product Updater informing you that updates were successfully installed. The updates will be listed when you select the Installed Products tab.

   

   
   
8. Exit Rational Product Updater and start IBM WebSphere Developer for zSeries V6.0.1.1 from the Windows Start menu to begin using the product. By default this is under Start > Programs > IBM WebSphere > IBM WebSphere Developer for zSeries V6.0 > WebSphere Developer for zSeries.

5.0 Downloading the update for local installations

• You have a slow or unstable Internet connection and want to use a download manager that can resume the download.
• You have difficulty accessing the live IBM update servers from behind a firewall.
• You prefer to download the update and install it later.

1. Download the WDz6011RPU.exe file from the support website.
2. Run WDz6011RPU.exe by double-clicking on the file. This program will be used to extract the required update installation files to a folder on your system. Follow the program dialogs to select the destination folder and extract the update installation files. These files are temporary and may be deleted after the installation is completed.

   

   
   
3. Start Rational Product Updater from the Windows Start menu. By default this is under Start > Programs > IBM Rational > IBM Rational Product Updater.
4. From the menu bar, select Preferences > Update Sites. This is where you will tell the Rational Product Updater where to find the installation files you just extracted.
5. Click Browse in the Update Sites dialog.
6. In the Open dialog, browse to the directory where you extracted the update installation files. Inside that directory you will see a websphere folder which contains a file called policy.xml. This file is referred to as a policy file and is used to tell Rational Product Updater where to find updates for certain installed components. Select the policy.xml file and click Open.

   

   
   
7. The path to the policy.xml file will be filled into the input field of the Update Sites dialog.

   

   
   
   Click OK.
8. Now that the policy file has been set, follow the instructions outlined in the Workstation installation instructions section above.

7.0 Verifying your installation:

• You can verify that IBM WebSphere Developer for zSeries V6.0.1.1 is installed by starting the IBM WebSphere Developer for zSeries product and following the steps below.

To verify the installations of your other updates you should look for them on the Installed Products tab of Rational Product Updater, as mentioned in the Workstation installation instructions section above.
  • From the menu bar, select Help > About IBM Rational Software Development Platform. This will bring you to the About IBM Rational Software Development Platform dialog. This dialog contains a row of buttons representing the various workbench features that are currently installed.
