To install directly from the IBM update server:
Start IBM Installation Manager
from the Windows Start menu. By default this is under Start >
All Programs > IBM Installation Manager > IBM Installation
Manager.
Click Update.
Select the package group in which you installed IBM Rational
Developer for System z. The default is IBM Software Development
Platform. The Installed Packages list at the bottom of the panel

required.
Select IBM Java Platform Standard Edition Version 6 SR15
FP1 and any other required or optional updates from the list of
available updates. Any updates you already have installed will be
displayed in grey and will not be selectable. Click Next.
Read and accept the license
agreements for the selected updates, and then follow the remaining
installation dialogs to install the selected updates.

features you have installed.
Review your selections on the

4.0 Downloading the update for local
installations
Ideally, this update should be installed directly from the IBM
update server, as described in the Workstation
installation instructions section above. However, you may also
download an archive file containing the update and perform local
installations. You might want to do this if:
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.
Download the
RDz76iFixJava6SR15FP1.zip file from the support website.
Unzip RDz76iFixJava6SR15FP1.zip
to a folder on your system. These files are temporary and may be
deleted after the installation is completed.
Start IBM Installation Manager
from the Windows Start menu. By default this is under Start >
All Programs > IBM Installation Manager > IBM Installation
Manager.
From the menu bar, select File
> Preferences This is where you will tell the IBM
Installation Manager the location of the installation files you just
extracted.
Click Add Repository in the Preferences
dialog.
In the Add Repository dialog, browse to the directory
where you extracted the update installation files. Inside that
directory you will see a rational folder. Change to that
directory, select RDz-jdk6-sr15fp1.zip and then click OK.
Click Test Connection and ensure that the repository
can be found.
Click OK.
Now that the local repository has been set, follow the
instructions outlined in the Workstation
installation instructions section above.

line

Packs, from a command line so that you do not have to monitor or
