InfoCenter Home > 6.6.28.1: Installing Debugger and OLT code and documentationThis article describes how to obtain the Debugger and OLT products that are most compatible with IBM WebSphere Application Server , and what to do if you have previous versions of Debugger and OLT. It also has important instructions for obtaining updated and translated help files for the interfaces of the two products.
Obtaining the Debugger and OLT servers and clientsThe IBM WebSphere Application Server product CD provides the OLT server-side runtime. The Debugger and OLT graphical user interfaces must be obtained and installed separately. Installing the Debugger and OLT runtimes from the WebSphere CDIt is recommended that you install the Debugger and OLT runtimes using the IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 3.5 installation program available on the Application Server product CD. This ensures compatibility and recognition of one another among the Debugger, OLT, and WebSphere Application Server. You need to perform the Full Debugger and OLT installation, as described in the installation README file and installation example. Handling existing Debugger and OLT installationsIf using existing Debugger or OLT versions, and you have an IBM WebSphere Application Server CD, it is recommended that you uninstall or upgrade the existing versions and migrate to the versions available from the Application Server Version 3.5 installation program. If you are using the Application Server download, from which the new Debugger and OLT versions are not available, then you will need to keep your previous versions. Obtaining the Debugger and OLT client interfacesThe client interfaces are available as part of the OLT product package available from the IBM WebSphere Application Server Web site. Be sure to review the accompanying README file that discusses basic installation and usability issues. Viewing the latest Debugger and OLT help files and documentationThe Debugger and OLT installation images contain help files that can be accessed from their product interfaces. By default, the installed products contain help files that are less updated than the Debugger and OLT help available from the InfoCenter, and that are available in English only. If Debugger and OLT are installed on a machine containing the IBM WebSphere Application Server InfoCenter in its default location, the Debugger and OLT products will ignore the outdated help files and instead use the help files contained in the InfoCenter, in the language in which you installed the InfoCenter. To ensure you are viewing the updated, translated help files:
Complete the above steps in either order, but do not access Debugger or OLT help from the Debugger or OLT interfaces until both steps are complete. Obtaining the Debugger and OLT documentationIn addition to the Debugger and OLT help files, the full InfoCenter contains the entire Debugger and OLT documentation set. It is the version to which you should refer if you installed Debugger and OLT from the WebSphere Application Server installation program. To access the documentation:
You can also browse the online InfoCenter on the product Library page. See the README file for details. Prerequisites of IBM Distributed Debugger and OLTIBM Distributed Debugger and OLT are separate product runtimes bundled with IBM WebSphere Application Server for your convenience. Because the Distributed Debugger and OLT support for operating systems and JDK levels can differ from those supported by IBM WebSphere Application Server, the Debugger and OLT support is summarized in the table below. Inclusion of a prerequisite in the table does not imply that IBM WebSphere Application Server also supports the prerequisite. Always refer to the IBM WebSphere Application Server prerequisites to determine which prerequisites are supported by the base Application Server product and its Fix Packs.
