IBM Express Runtime Version 2.1 Electronic Software Download README


This document shows the available electronic software distribution (eSD) parts available for installing the IBM Express Runtime base product, the IBM Installation Agent, and the Express Runtime application development toolkit.

If you want to view this document in another language, select the appropriate language from the following:

The complete Express Runtime product consists of 33 parts, however a typical 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.


Determining which parts you need

The platform listed under the Target Platform File Name columns indicates on which platform you will download and unpack the source files. The platform listed under 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.

For example, if you need to download, unpack, and install the Express Runtime base installation files on a Windows computer to create solutions for an i5/OS computer, you would download all of the following:

Then, the person who receives the solution you create would download the IBM Installation Agent to unpack the files and then install them onto the target computer. For example, the person might download the IBM Installation Agent for i5/OS onto a Linux computer (part 21 for Linux, C82FRML.tar.gz) and then install the IBM Installation Agent onto the i5/OS computer as described in Installing the IBM Installation Agent on i5/OS or OS/400 from Linux platforms.

IBM Express Runtime installation parts

The following table shows all available parts for installing the Express Runtime base product. Parts 1 and 2 are 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.

    Note: Do not unzip the files into a directory name that contains spaces.
  2. Once extracted, run one of the following launch pad executable files to start the launch pad for that part.
  3. When the launch pad is displayed, click Install.
  4. Refer to the product information for further installation instructions.

Using eSD parts for installations on Linux and Linux on POWER platforms

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

  1. Decompress the compressed .gz files using gunzip to a temporary directory using the following command:
    gunzip archivefilename.tar.gz
    where archivefilename is the name of the eSD part file
  2. Once extracted, expand the .tar archive using the following command:
    tar -xvf archivefilename.tar
    where archivefilename is the name of the eSD part file
