The Web Development Tools feature is not visible and is always installed by default in IBM WebSphere Integration Developer V6.2.
If you have a previous version of the product, or if you plan to install multiple Rational Software Delivery Platform products on the same workstation, review the information in this section.
Some products are designed to coexist and share function when they are installed in the same package group. A package group is a location where you can install one or more software products or packages. When you install each package, you select whether you want to install the package into an existing package group, or whether you want to create a new one. IBM Installation Manager will block products that are not designed to share or do not meet version tolerance and other requirements. If you want to install more than one product at a time, the products must be able to share a package group.
At the time of release, the following products will share function when installed into a package group:
IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software V7.6 does not support installation into a package group that contains one of the following products:
Any number of eligible products can be installed into a package group. When a product is installed, its function is shared with all of the other products in the package group. If you install a development product and a testing product into one package group, when you start either of the products, you have both the development and testing functionality available to you in your user interface. If you add a product with modeling tools, all of the products in the package group will have the development, testing, and modeling functionality available.
If you install a development product and later purchase a development product with increased functionality and add that product to the same package group, the additional function will be available in both products. If you uninstall the product with the greater functionality, the original product remains.
IBM Installation Manager retrieves product packages from specified repository locations.
If the launchpad is used to start IBM Installation Manager, the repository information is passed to Installation Manager. If the IBM Installation Manager is started directly, you must specify an installation repository that contains the product packages that you want to install. See Setting repository preferences in IBM Installation Manager.
Some organizations bundle and host their own product packages on their intranet. For information about this type of installation scenario, see Installing from a repository on an HTTP or HTTPS Web server. Your system administrators will need to provide you with the correct URL.
By default, IBM Installation Manager uses an embedded URL in each Rational software development product to connect to a repository server over the Internet. IBM Installation Manager then searches for the product packages as well as new features.
When you start the installation of IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software V7.6 from the launchpad program, the location of the repository that contains the product package you are installing is automatically defined in IBM Installation Manager when it starts. However, if you start IBM Installation Manager directly (for example, installing IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software V7.6 from a repository located on a Web server) then you must specify the repository preference (the URL for the directory that contains the product package) in IBM Installation Manager before you can install the product package. Specify these repository locations on the Repositories page of the Preferences window. By default, IBM Installation Manager uses an embedded URL in each Rational software development product to connect to a repository server through the Internet and search for installable packages and new features. Your organization may require you to redirect the repository to use intranet sites.
Before starting the installation process, be sure to obtain the installation package repository URL from your administrator.
To add, edit, or remove a repository location in IBM Installation Manager:
For IBM Installation Manager to search the default repository locations for the installed packages, ensure the preference Search service repositories during installation and updates on the Repositories preference page is selected. This preference is selected by default.
When you install the IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software V7.6 product package using IBM Installation Manager, you must choose a package group and a shared resource directory.
During the installation process, you must specify a package group for the IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software V7.6 package. A package group represents a directory in which packages share resources with other packages in the same group. When you install the IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software V7.6 package using IBM Installation Manager, you can create a new package group or install it into an existing package group. (Some packages might not be able to share a package group, in which case the option to use an existing package group will be disabled.)
Note that when you install multiple packages at the same time, all the packages are installed into the same package group.
A package group is assigned a name automatically; however, you choose the installation directory for the package group.
After you create the package group by successfully installing a product package, you cannot change the installation directory. The installation directory contains files and resources specific to the IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software V7.6 product package installed into that package group. Resources in the product package that can potentially be used by other package groups are placed in the shared resources directory.
The shared resources directory is the directory where installation artifacts are located so that they can be used by one or more product package groups.
Before you install the product, complete these steps:
The following sections provide an overview of the installation process for setting up and configuring the target AIX development system. You can access detailed instructions from links in the main steps.

The default path is:
On the Summary page, review your choices before installing the IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software V7.6 package. If you want to change the choices that you made on previous pages, click Back and make your changes. When you are satisfied with your installation choices, click Install to install the package.
You can install the IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software V7.6 product package by running Installation Manager in silent installation mode. When you run Installation Manager in silent mode, the user interface is not available; instead, Installation Manager uses a response file to input the commands that are required to install the product package. You can also install Installation Manager silently using the Installation Manager installer. You can then use the installer to silently install product packages.
Running Installation Manager in silent mode is helpful because it enables you to use a batch process to install, update, modify and uninstall product packages through scripts.
There are two main tasks required for silent installation:
You can create a response file by recording your actions as you install a Rational Developer for Power Systems Software product package using Installation Manager, or the Installation Manager installer. When you record a response file, all of the selections that you make in the Installation Manager GUI are stored in an XML file. When you run Installation Manager in silent mode, Installation Manager uses the XML response file to locate the repository that contains the package, select the features to install, and so on.
To record a response file for installation (or uninstallation):
An XML response file is created and resides in the location specified in the command.
After a response file is created, run the following command from the eclipse subdirectory to install the product silently:
The following table describes the arguments used with the silent installation command:
Argument | Description |
---|---|
-vm | Specifies the Java launcher. In silent mode, always use java.exe on Windows, and java on other platforms. |
-nosplash |
Specifies that the splash screen should be suppressed. |
--launcher.suppressErrors |
Specifies that the JVM error dialog should be suppressed. |
-silent | Specifies that the IBM Installation Manager installer or IBM Installation Manager should be run in silent mode. |
-input |
Specifies an XML response file as the input to IBM Installation Manager installer or the IBM Installation Manager. A response file contains commands that installer or IBM Installation Manager runs. |
-log |
(Optional) Specifies a log file that records the result of the silent installation. The log file is an XML file. |
You can silently search for and install updates for all available products.
To search for and silently install all available products:
All available products known to IBM Installation Manager are installed.
You can silently search for and install updates for all currently installed products.
To search for and silently install updates for all available products:
All available product updates known to IBM Installation Manager are installed.
If you want to use the silent installation capabilities of IBM Installation Manager, you need to create a response file that contains all of the commands that IBM Installation Manager must run. The recommended way to do this is to create a response file by recording your actions as you install the IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software V7.6 package. However, you can create or edit a response file manually.
There are two categories of commands for the response file:
For more detailed information about silent installation, visit the IBM Installation Manager Information Center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/install/v1r2/index.jsp.
You can use an XML-based response file to specify predefined information such as silent installation preferences, repository locations, installation profiles, and so on. Response files are beneficial for teams and companies that want to install installation packages silently and to standardize the locations and preferences for installation packages.
Sample response file |
---|
<agent-input > <!-- add preferences --> <preference name="com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences. http.proxyEnabled" value="c:/temp"/> <!-- create the profile if it doesn't exist yet --> <profile id="my_profile" installLocation="c:/temp/my_profile"></profile> <server> <repository location= "http://a.site.com/local/products/sample/20060615_1542/repository/"></repository> </server> <install> <offering profile= "my_profile" features= "core" id= "ies" version= "3.2.0.20060615"> </offering> </install> </agent-input> |
You can use silent install log files to examine the results of a silent installation session.
The silent installation functionality creates an XML-based log file that records the result of the silent install execution (as long as a log file path is specified using –log your_log_file_path.xml). If your silent installation session is successful, the log file will contain just the root element of <result> </result>. However, if errors occur during the installation, the silent install log file will contain error elements with messages such as:
<result> <error> Cannot find profile: profile id</error> <error> some other errors</error> </result> |
For detailed analysis, you can look at the logs generated in the Installation Manager data area. By using a preference command, you can optionally set the data area to your preferred location, as shown in the response file topic.
You can start IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software V7.6 from the desktop environment or a command-line interface. For example, click Start → Programs → IBM Software Delivery Platform → IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software V7.6 → IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software.
To start IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software V7.6 from a command-line:
Licensing for your installed IBM software and customized packages is administered using the Manage Licenses wizard in the IBM Installation Manager. The Manage Licenses wizard displays license information for each of your installed packages.
IBM Rational Developer for Power Systems Software V7.6 comes with a permanent license for the product level and trial license for the either RPG and COBOL Development Tools for i feature, C and C++ Development Tools for AIX feature, or COBOL Development Tools for AIX feature. If you are installing the software for the first time or want to extend a license to continue using the specific feature, you can activate licensing for the feature by importing a license activation kit using the Manage Licenses wizard. Using the Manage Licenses wizard, you can also enable Floating license enforcement for offerings with trial or permanent licenses to use floating license keys from a license server.
For more information on license activation and managing licenses for your Rational® product, see http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21250404
To install your permanent license key, you must import the license activation kit from the download location or the product media by using IBM Installation Manager.
If you have not purchased an activation kit, you must do this first. If you have purchased a product or a product activation kit, insert the appropriate DVD or download the activation kit from IBM Passport Advantage to an accessible workstation. The activation kit is packaged as a .zip file containing a Java archive (.jar) file. The .jar file contains the permanent license key and must be imported to activate your product.
To import an activation kit .jar file and enable the new license key, complete the following steps:
The product activation kit with its permanent license key is imported to the product. The Manage Licenses wizard indicates whether the import is successful.
If your team environment supports Floating license enforcement, you can activate Floating licenses for your product and configure a connection to obtain access to floating license keys.
Before activating Floating license enforcement, you must obtain the license server connection information from your administrator. For details on license server, see http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21250404
To activate floating licenses as the license type for specified packages and configure license server connections, complete the following steps:
Now, when you start the activated product, a connection is created to the license server to obtain a license key from the pool of available floating license keys.
You can review license information for your installed product packages, including license types and expiration dates, from IBM Installation Manager.
To view license information, complete the following steps:
The package vendor, current license types, and expiration dates are displayed for each installed product package.
The Modify wizard in the IBM Installation Manager enables you to change the language and feature selections of an installed product package.
