README: IBM Express Runtime, Version 2.1.1.1 Electronic Software Download

Electronic Software Download Readme

This document shows the available electronic software distribution (eSD) parts available for installing IBM^(R) Express Runtime and the IBM Installation Agent.

The complete Express Runtime product consists of 24 parts, however a typical new installation or a fixpack installation requires only a subset of these parts. You can minimize your download time by selecting only the parts you need, as described in the installation parts tables.

If you want to order a media pack instead of downloading the parts you need, choose from the following options. Note that media packs are not automatically provided for the Express Runtime 2.1.1.1 fixpack.

• Passport Advantage^(R) customers

  Customers with active maintenance or subscription are entitled to receive the Express Runtime 2.1.1.1 media pack. You can receive media delivery of new releases or versions of enrolled software licenses. You can access this feature through the password-protected Passport Advantage Online at the following Web site:

Determining which parts you need

Use the IBM Express Runtime installation parts table and the IBM Installation Agent installation parts table to determine which parts you need to download. The file name column shows the file name for each part. The platform listed in the Contents column indicates on which platform you will use that part of the product. The Usage column in the table describes for which installations the part is required.

Example: Download the Windows^(R) development environment

If you want to install IBM Express Runtime to develop solutions on a Microsoft^(R) Windows platform, download the required Express Runtime installation part (part 1 for Windows: C90F4ML.zip) and the IBM Rational^(R) Web Developer for Windows files (parts 2, 3, and 4 for Windows: C90F5ML.zip, C90F6ML.zip, and C90F7ML.zip). Then, for a typical installation, download the needed deployment packages as described below.

Example: Download the Linux^(R) development environment

If you want to install IBM Express Runtime to develop solutions on a Linux platform, download the required Express Runtime installation part (part 1 for Linux: C90FTML.tar.gz) and the IBM Rational Web Developer for Linux files (parts 5, 6, and 7 for Linux: C90FXML.tar.gz, C90FYML.tar.gz, and C90FZML.tar.gz). Then, for a typical installation, download the needed deployment packages as described below.

Example: Download the deployment packages

After downloading the parts you need to develop solutions, download the parts required for deploying middleware or creating solutions for the computers you want to target.

• For Windows target computers, download parts 8, 9, 10, and 11.
• For Linux target computers, download parts 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16
• For Linux on POWER^(TM) target computers, download parts 17, 18, 19, and 20
• For i5/OS^(R) or OS/400^(R) target computers, download parts 21 and 22

Example: Download the IBM Installation Agent

To receive a solution, download the IBM Installation Agent to unpack the files and then install them onto the target computer.

• For Windows, Linux, Linux on POWER, and AIX^(R) target computers, download part 23.
• For i5/OS or OS/400 target computers, download part 24.
  Note:
  You can remotely install IBM Installation Agent on an i5/OS or OS/400 computer from a Windows or Linux computer. To do so, download part 23 to install the IBM Installation Agent on the Windows or Linux computer and then install the IBM Installation Agent on the i5/OS computer as described in Installing the IBM Installation Agent on i5/OS or OS/400 from Linux platforms.

Example: Download the latest fixpack

To install the Express Runtime Version 2.1.1.1 fixpack or the IBM Installation Agent Version 3.1.1.1, if you kept the downloaded files from the previous installation, download only the files listed below that have changed for the fixpacks. The fixpacks require a complete reinstall. If you did not keep the files from the Express Runtime Version 2.1.1 or IBM Installation Agent Version 3.1.1 installations, or if this is a new installation, download all the parts indicated for a new installation.

• For Express Runtime Version 2.1.1.1, download parts 1 and 11.
• For the IBM Installation Agent Version 3.1.1.1, download part 23.
• For Console for Express Runtime deployed to Windows target computers, see the technote on the IBM Support Web site at www.ibm.com/support for how to obtain and apply the console fixpack to those target computers.

IBM Express Runtime installation parts

The following table shows all available parts for installing IBM Express Runtime. Part 1 is required, but depending on your installation, you might need to download only a subset of the other parts. The files in each part are packaged for native access on each platform as eAssemblies for Windows or Linux, so choose the parts that you need and then use the file for the platform on which you are installing. The Usage column in the table describes when the part is required.

IBM Installation Agent installation parts

The following table identifies the available parts for installing the IBM Installation Agent. Depending on your installation, you might need to download only one of these parts. The files in each part are packaged for native access on each platform as eAssemblies for Windows, AIX, Linux, Linux on IBM POWER, i5/OS or OS/400, so choose the parts that you need and then use the file for the platform on which you are installing. The Usage column in the table describes when the part is required.

Using eSD parts for installations on Windows platforms

After downloading the eSD part files for Windows platforms, follow these steps:

1. Unzip the .zip files using a zip compression utility (PKZIP, WinZip, or InfoZip) to a temporary directory, for example C:\Downloads\ERV2-1-1-1.
   Note:
   Do not unzip the files into a directory name that contains spaces.
