1. If you have downloaded the service release consolidated patch zip
file, rs_2001a.04.01_consolidated_patch.zip, youll need to first extract testmanager2001A.04.01.293.004.zip
from it. If you already have the testmanager2001A.04.01.293.004.zip
file, skip Steps 2 through 4 below and go to Step 5.
2. Go to the folder in which you downloaded the service release
consolidated patch zip file.
3. Open the consolidated patch zip file and select testmanager2001A.04.01.293.004.zip.
Extract testmanager2001A.04.01.293.004.zip by clicking on Extract and specifying
a new folder, such a C:\Temp\TestManager.
This extracts testmanager2001A.04.01.293.004.zip to the folder rs_2001a.04.01_consolidated_patch
contained in the new folder you specified.
4. Go into
the rs_2001a.04.01_consolidated_patch folder in the folder that you specified
in Step 3, for example, C:\Temp\TestManager\rs_2001a.04.01_consolidated_patch.
5. Extract
the files from testmanager2001A.04.01.293.004.zip into a
new folder named SR1.
6. When the
extraction is complete, select Start->Run and then type cmd. A command prompt appears.
7. Change (cd) to the SR1 folder that contains the extracted
files.
8. Install
the service release.
·
To install the service release for a local (non-agent)
computer, change (cd) to the
Windows folder and type the following command:
xcopy /e
/s *.* C:\Program Files\Rational
This command copies all service release files into their
corresponding Rational folders. If you originally installed in a folder other
than C:\Program Files\Rational, use that folder name in the xcopy command.
·
To install on a Windows
Test Agent computer, copy the contents of the Windows_Agent directory to the
Rational installation directory.
Change (cd) to the
Windows_Agent folder and type the following command:
xcopy /e
/s *.* C:\Program Files\Rational
This command copies all service release files into their
corresponding Rational folders. If you originally installed in a folder other
than C:\Program Files\Rational, use that folder name in the xcopy command.
Note: On Windows NT and Windows 2000 hosts, both the ProxyServer
Service and agent process are configured by default to start at boot time. If
you do not reboot after installing the service release, restart the ProxyServer
Service on local hosts and the agent process on agent hosts.
There are no documentation changes in this release.
