IBM Installation
Manager
IBM Installation Manager is a
program that helps you install the Rational Business Developer Extension product
package on your workstation. It also helps you update, modify, and uninstall
this and other packages that you install. A package can be a product, a group
of components, or a single component that is designed to be installed by Installation Manager.
Regardless of which installation scenario you follow to install Rational Business Developer Extension on
your workstation, use Installation Manager to
install your Rational package.
In most cases, it is assumed that Installation Manager is
already installed on the computer where you are installing Rational Business Developer Extension,
since Installation Manager is

Installation scenarios for Rational Business Developer Extension
There are a number of scenarios that you can follow when installing Rational Business Developer Extension.
The following are some of the factors that might determine your installation
scenario:
- The type of installation (for example, you can use the Installation Manager
GUI, or install silently).
These are the typical installation scenarios you might follow:
- Installing from the CDs.
- Installing from a downloaded electronic image on your workstation.
- Installing from an electronic image on a shared drive.
- Install from a repository
on an HTTP or HTTPS server.
Note that in the latter three scenarios you can choose to run the Installation
Manager program in silent mode to install Rational Business Developer Extension.
For details on running Installation Manager in silent mode, see Installing silently.
Note also that you can install updates at the same time that you install
the base product package.
Installing from CDs
In this installation scenario,
you have the CDs that contain the product package files, and typically you
are installing Rational Business Developer Extension on
your own workstation. Refer to Installing Rational Business Developer Extension from
the CD: task overview for
an overview of the steps.
Installing from a downloaded electronic image on your workstation
In this scenario, you
have downloaded the installation files from IBM Passport Advantage® and you
will install Rational Business Developer Extension on
your own workstation. Refer to Installing Rational Business Developer Extension from

In
this scenario, you will place the electronic image on a shared drive so that
users in your enterprise can access the installation files for Rational Business Developer Extension from
a single location. Refer to Installing Rational Business Developer Extension from
an electronic image on a shared drive: task overview for
an overview of the steps.
Installing
from a repository on an HTTP or HTTPS server
This scenario represents
the fastest method for installing the product across a network. This scenario
differs from the shared-drive installation in that, in order to place product
package files for Rational Business Developer Extension on
an HTTP Web server, you must use this utility application – IBM Packaging
Utility. This utility is provided
with the prerequisite host software development application installation files
to copy the installation files in a format - a package - that can be
used for installing Rational Business Developer Extension directly
from a HTTP Web server. The directory on the HTTP Web server that contains
the package is called a repository. Refer to Installing Rational Business Developer Extension from
a repository on a HTTP Web server: task overview and Placing Rational Business Developer Extension on
an HTTP Web server: task overview for an overview of the steps.
Verifying and extracting electronic images
You can compare the published MD5 values with the checksum of
the downloaded files to check if the downloaded file is corrupt or incomplete.
Extract each compressed file to the same directory.
Preinstallation tasks
Before you install the product, complete these steps:
- Confirm that your system meets the requirements described in the
section Installation requirements.
- Confirm that your user ID meets the required access privileges
for installing the product. See User privileges requirements.
- Read the section Planning to install.
-
If you want to enable the product to be

Installing silently
You can install the Rational Business Developer Extension 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.
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.
Note that you must install Installation
Manager before you can silently install the Rational Business Developer Extension package.
Refer to Working with IBM Installation Manager for details
on installing Installation Manager.
There are two main tasks required
for silent installation:
- Create the response file.
- Run Installation Manager in silent installation mode.
Creating a response file
You can create a response file by recording your actions as you
install a Rational Business Developer Extension product
package using Installation Manager. 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):
- On a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory
where you installed Installation Manager. For example:
-
cd
C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse
- On a command line, type the following command to start the installation
manager, substituting your own file name and location for the response file
and (optionally) the log file:
-
launcher.bat
–record <response file path and name>.xml -log <log file path and name>.xml.
For example, launcher.bat –record c:\mylog\responsefile.xml -log c:\mylog\record_log.xml
Note:
Ensure the file paths you enter exist; Installation Manager will
not create directories for the response file and the log file.
- Follow the on-screen instructions in the Install Packages wizard
to make your installation choices, stopping when you reach the Summary page.
For details, see Installing IBM Rational Business Developer Extension using
the IBM Installation Manager graphical
interface.
- Click Install, and then when the installation
process begins click Cancel.
- Click Finish, then close Installation Manager.
An XML response file is created and resides in the location specified
in the command.
Running Installation Manager in silent installation mode
You can run Installation Manager in silent installation mode from
a command line.
Refer to the Installation Manager online help for additional documentation
on how to run it in silent mode. (For example, silently installing from a
repository that requires authentication (user ID and password).
You
run Installation Manager in silent mode appending the -silent argument
to the Installation Manager start command launcher.bat (Windows) .
-
launcher.bat
–silent [arguments]
The following table describes the arguments used with the silent
installation command:
| Argument |
Description |
-input <response file path and name> |
Specifies an XML response file as the input to
Installation Manager. A response file contains commands that Installation
Manager runs. |
-log <log file path and name> |
(Optional) Specifies a log file that records the result of the silent
installation. The log file is an XML file. |
To run Installation Manager in silent installation mode:
- On a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory
where you installed Installation Manager. For example:
-
cd
C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse
- Enter and run the following command, substituting your own locations
for the response file and, optionally, the log file:
-
.
launcher.bat –slient -input <response file path and name> -log <log
file path and name>For example, launcher.bat –silent -input c:\mylog\responsefile.xml
-log c:\mylog\silent_install_log.xml
Installation Manager runs in silent installation mode; it reads the
response file and writes a log file to the directory you specified. While
you must have a response file when running in silent installation mode, log
files are optional. The result of this execution should be a status of 0 on
success and non-zero number on failure.
Searching for and silently installing all available products
You can silently search for and install updates for all available
products.
To search for and silently install all available products:
- On a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory
where you installed Installation Manager.
- Enter and run the following command, substituting your own locations
for the response file and, optionally, the log file:
-
launcher.bat
–silent -installAll
All available products known to Installation Manager are installed.
Silently installing updates to all currently installed products
You can silently search for and install updates for all currently
installed products.
To search for and silently install updates for all available products:
- On a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory
where you installed Installation Manager.
- Enter and run the following command, substituting your own locations
for the response file and, optionally, the log file:
-
launcher.bat
–silent -updateAll
All available product updates known to Installation Manager are installed.
Response file commands
If you want to use the silent installation capabilities of Installation
Manager, you need to create a response file that contains all of the commands
that 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 Business Developer Extension package.
However, you can create or edit a response file manually.
There are two categories of commands for the response file:
- Preference commands are used to set preferences that are found
in Installation Manager under File → Preferences, such as repository location information.
- Silent installation commands are used to emulate the Install Packages
wizard in Installation Manager.
Silent installation preference commands
While you typically specify preferences using the Preferences window,
you can also specify preferences (identified as keys) in a response file for
use during a silent installation.
Note:
You can specify more than one preference in a response file.
When
you define preferences in a response file, your XML code will look similar
to the following example:
<preference>
name = "the key of the preference"
value = "the value of the preference to be set"
</preferences>
Use the following table to identify keys and their
associated values for silent installation preferences:
| Key |
Value |
Notes® |
| com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.logLocation |
Specifies the location of Installation Manager log file. |
Important: This key is optional and is designed for testing
and debugging. If you do not specify a location for the log file, both silent
installation and the GUI version of Installation Manager will use the same
location. |
| com.ibm.cic.license.policy.location |
Specifies a URL that defines where the remote license policy file
resides. |
|
| com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.http.proxyEnabled |
True or False |
False is the default value. |
| com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.http.proxyHost |

Profile
<profile
id="the profile (package group) id"
installLocation="the install location of
the profile">
<data key="key1" value="value1"/>
<data key="key2" value="value2"/>
</profile> |
Use this command to create a package group (or installation location).
If the specified package group already exists, then the command has no effect.
Currently, when creating the profile, the silent installation will also create

Repositories
<server>
<repository location="http://example/
repository/">
<repository location="file:/C:/
repository/">
<!—add more repositories below-->
<...>
</server> |
Use this command to specify the repositories used during a silent
installation. Use a URL or UNC path to specify remote repositories; use directory
paths to specify local repositories. |
|
Install
<install>
<offering profile= "profile id"
features= "feature ids"
id= "offering id" version= "offering
version"></offering>
<!—add more offerings below>
<...>
</install> |
Use this command to specify the installation packages that will be
installed.
The profile ID must match an existing profile or a profile created
by the set profile command.
Feature IDs can be optionally specified
by a comma-delimited list, such as "feature1, feature2" and so on. If no feature
IDs are specified, all the default features in the specified offering will
be installed.
Note:
Required features will be included for installation,
even if they are not explicitly specified in the comma-delimited list. |
|
<install modify="true"> or <uninstall
modify="true"> (optional attribute)
<uninstall modify="true">
<offering profile="profileID"
id="Id" version="Version"
features="-"/>
</uninstall> |
Use the <install modify="true"> attribute
on install and uninstall commands to indicate that you want to modify an existing
install. If the attribute is not set to true, the value
defaults to false. If the intent of the modify operation
is only to install additional language packs, then a hyphen "-" should be
used in the offering feature id list to indicate no new features are being
added.
Important:
You must specify "modify=true" and
a hyphen "-" feature list as specified in the example;
otherwise, the install command will install the offering's default features
and the uninstall command will remove all the features. |
|
Uninstall
<uninstall>
<offering profile= "profile id"
features= "feature ids"
id= "offering id" version= "offering
version"></offering>
<!—add more offerings below>
<...>
</uninstall> |
Use this command to specify the packages that will be uninstalled.
The
profile ID must match an existing profile or a profile specified in a profile
command. Further, if there are no feature IDs specified, all the features
in the specified offering will be uninstalled; if there are no offering IDs
specified, all the installed offerings in the specified profile will be uninstalled. |
|
Rollback
<rollback>
<offering profile= "profile id"
id= "offering id"
version= "offering version">
</offering>
<!—add more offerings below
<...>
</rollback> |
Use this command to roll back to the specified offerings from the
version currently installed on the specified profile. You cannot specify
features in a roll back command. |
|
InstallAll
<installALL/>
Note:
This
command is equivalent to using
–silent –installAll . |
Use this command to silently search for and install all available
packages. |
|
UpdateAll
<updateALL/>
Note:
This
command is equivalent to using
–silent –updateAll . |
Use this command to silently search for and update all available
packages. |
|
License
<license policyFile="policy file
location"/>
For example:
<license policyFile="c:\mylicense.opt"/> |
Use this command to generate a response file containing a license
command by starting the license wizard after starting Installation Manager
in record mode.
During record mode, if you set flex options through the
license management wizard, the options you set will be recorded in a license
policy file named "license.opt" in the same directory as the generated response
file; the response file will contain a license command that references the
policy file. |
|
Wizard
<launcher -mode wizard -input
< response file > |
Use this command to start Installation Manager in UI mode. The UI
mode starts Installation Manager in either the install wizard or the uninstall
wizard. However, in this case, the response file can only contain preference
commands and install commands or preference command and uninstall commands;
you can not mix install and uninstall commands in the same response file when
you run Installation Manager in UI mode. |
Reference: Sample response file
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> |
Silent install log files
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.
Managing licenses
After you install Rational Business Developer Extension,
you must enable the license; by default, only a trial license is enable for Rational Business Developer Extension until you
enable a license. You can manage the licenses for products that you installed
using Installation Manager using
the Manage Licenses wizard and associated Preferences pages. The Manage
Licenses wizard displays license type and license expiration information for
each of your installed packages.
Use the Manage Licenses wizard to import
your permanent license key from your product activation kits. Or, use the
wizard to enable floating license support.
For more
information on managing licenses for your Rational product, see:
For information about installing IBM Rational License Server v7.0.0.1
and installation prerequisites, see the IBM Rational License Management
Guide at http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/v7/rcl/7001/docs/install_instruction/license_admin.pdf. To get the latest release notes for
the License Server v7.0.0.1, see http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/v7/rcl/7001/docs/readme/readme.html.
Licenses
You can enable different types of licenses
for the product.
Authorized User License
An IBM Rational Authorized User license permits
a single, specific individual to use a Rational software product. Purchasers
must obtain an Authorized User license for each individual user who accesses
the product in any manner. An Authorized User license cannot be reassigned
unless the purchaser replaces the original assignee on a long-term or permanent
basis.
For example, if you purchase one Authorized User license, you
can assign that license to one specific individual, who can then use the Rational software
product. The Authorized User license does not entitle a second person to use
that product at any time, even if the licensed individual is not actively
using it.
Floating license
An IBM Rational Floating license is a license
for a single software product that can be shared among multiple team members;
however, the total number of concurrent users cannot exceed the number of
floating licenses you purchase. For example, if you purchase one floating
license for a Rational software
product, then any user in your organization may use the product at any given
time. Another person who wants to access the product must wait until the current
user logs off.
To use floating licenses, you must obtain floating
license keys and install them on a Rational License Server. The server
responds to end-user requests for access to the license keys; it will grant
access to the number of concurrent users that matches the number of licenses
the organization purchased.
License enablement
You have options on how to enable licensing for your product.
Licenses for Rational Business Developer Extension (or Rational Business Developer) are enabled
in two ways:
- Importing a product activation kit
- Enabling Rational Common
Licensing to obtain access to floating license keys
Activation kits
Product
activation kits contain the permanent license key for your product. You import
the activation kit to your product by using IBM Installation Manager.
Rational Common
Licensing
You can obtain floating license keys, install Rational License
Server, and enable Rational Common Licensing for your product. Rational Common
Licensing provides the following benefits:
- License compliance enforcement across the organization
- Fewer license purchases
Importing a product activation kit
If you purchased a licensed copy of Rational Business Developer Extension or Rational Business Developer, then
the license key for the package is found on the Activation Kit CD (or electronic
image, if you downloaded the product from Passport Advantage), which
is included with the licensed product. If you downloaded your product from Passport
Advantage and either did not download the Activation Kit or deleted it
before importing the license key, you must download the Activation Kit again.
To import an activation kit and enable the license key:
- Start IBM Installation Manager.
- On the main page, click Manage Licenses.
- On the Install Packages page, select a package and click Import
Activation Kit.
- Click Next. Details for
the selected package are shown, including the current license kind and the
product version range of the license.
- Insert the Activation Kit CD into your drive, or
browse to the path of the download location for the kit; then select the Java™ archive
(JAR) file on the kit (there is only one file) and click Open.
- Click Next. The Summary
page displays the target install directory for the activation kit, the product
the new license applies to, and version information.
- Click Finish.
The product activation kit with its permanent license key is imported
to the product. The Manage Licenses wizard indicates whether the import is
successful.
Enabling floating licenses
If your team environment supports Floating license enforcement,
you can enable Floating licenses for your product and configure a connection
to obtain access to floating license keys.
Before enabling Floating license enforcement, you must obtain the
license server connection information from your administrator. For details
on license server, license key, and Rational Common Licensing administration,
see the License Management Guide.
To enable floating licenses as the license type for specified packages
and configure license server connections:
- Start IBM Installation Manager.
- Click File → Open → Manage Licenses.
- On the Install Packages page, select a version
of a package, click Configure license servers, and
click Next.
- Click Next.
- Click the Enable Floating license enforcement button.
- Configure one or more license server connections.
- Click an empty field in the Servers table
or click the Add button.
- If your administrator provided you with information for a redundant
server environment, click the Redundant Server button. Fields for the primary, secondary, and tertiary server names and
ports appear.
- Enter the host name of the license server in the Name field.
- (Optional) Enter a value in the Port field
for environments where a firewall is used. Do not assign a value to this port
unless your administrator instructs you to do so.
- For redundant server environments, enter the names and ports
(if required) for the secondary and tertiary servers.
- (Optional) You can click the Test Connection button
to confirm that the connection information is correct and that the server
is available.
- Click OK.
- Click Next.
- (Optional) Configure the license usage order for your shell shared
or custom packages. The order of licenses in the list determines the order
in which your package attempts to obtain access to license keys for a given
licensed package.
- Click Finish.
The Manage Licenses wizard indicates whether the floating licenses
configuration is successful.
When you open the enabled product next, 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 packages,
including license types and expiration dates, from IBM Installation Manager.
To view license information:
- Start IBM Installation Manager.
- On the main page, click Manage Licenses.
The package vendor, current license types, and expiration dates are
displayed for each installed package.
Starting Rational Business Developer Extension
You can start Rational Business Developer Extension from
the desktop environment or a command-line interface.
Click Start → Programs → <package group name> → IBM Rational Business Developer Extension → IBM Rational Business Developer Extension. For example, click Start → Programs → IBM
Software Development Platform → IBM Rational Business Developer Extension → IBM Rational Business Developer Extension

Working with IBM Installation Manager
This section deals with some common tasks relating to IBM Installation Manager.
For more information, see the Installation Manager online
help.
Installing IBM Installation Manager
When you installed your prerequisite host software application,
you first installed IBM Installation Manager.
For instructions on installing Installation Manager,
refer to the Installation Guide for your host software application.
(For example, see the Installation Guide for Rational Application Developer.
Starting Installation Manager on Windows
IBM Installation Manager should
be started from the launchpad program. Doing so starts Installation Manager with
a configured repository preference and selected Rational Business Developer Extension packages.
If you start Installation Manager directly,
then you must set a repository preference and choose product packages manually.
To
start Installation Manager manually:
- Open the Start menu from the Taskbar.
- Select All Programs → IBM
Installation Manager → IBM Installation Manager.
Starting Installation Manager on Linux
IBM Installation Manager should
be started from the launchpad program. Doing so starts the Installation Manager with
a configured repository preference and selected Rational Business Developer Extension packages.
If you start Installation Manager directly,
then you must set repository preference and choose product packages manually.
To
start Installation Manager manually:
- Open a terminal window with root user privileges.
- Run /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/launcher_shortcut.
Installation repositories
IBM Installation Manager retrieves
product packages from specified repository locations.
If the launchpad is used to start Installation Manager,
the repository information is passed to Installation Manager.
If the 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 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 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. Installation Manager then searches
for the product packages as well as new features.
Setting repository preferences in Installation Manager
When you start the installation of Rational Business Developer Extension 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 Installation Manager directly (for example, installing Rational Business Developer Extension 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 Installation Manager
before you can install the product package. Specify these repository locations
on the Repositories page of the Preferences window. By default, 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.
Note:
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 Installation Manager:
- Start Installation Manager.
- On the Start page of Installation Manager, click File → Preferences,
and then click Repositories. The Repositories
page opens, showing any available repositories, their locations, and whether
they are accessible.
- On the Repositories page, click Add
Repository.
- In the Add repository window, type the URL
of the repository location or browse to it and set a file path.
- Click OK. If you provided a HTTPS repository
location, then you will be prompted to enter a user ID and password. The new or changed repository location is listed. If the repository
is not accessible, a red x is displayed in the Accessible column.
- Click OK to exit.
Note:
For Installation Manager to search the default repository
locations for the installed packages, ensure the preference Search
the linked repositories during installation and updates on the
Repositories preference page is selected. This preference is selected by default.
IBM Packaging
Utility
Use IBM Packaging
Utility software to copy product packages to a repository that can be placed
on a Web server available over HTTP or HTTPS.
The installation files for IBM Packaging Utility are included with
the installation files for your prerequisite host software development application.
(If you purchased Rational Business Developer,
then IBM Packaging
Utility installation files are included on the Auxiliary disks.) For information
on installing IBM Packaging
Utility, see the Installation Guide for your prerequisite host software.
For example, see the installation guide for Rational Application Developer.
Use this utility to perform the following tasks:
- Generate a new repository for product packages.
- Copy product packages to a new repository. You can copy multiple product
packages into a single repository, thereby creating a common location for
your organization from which product packages can be installed using IBM Installation
Manager.
- Delete product packages from a repository.
Refer to the online help for Packaging Utility for full instructions using
the tool.
