Preface

This document is intended for planning the installation of Developer for System z prerequisite and corequisite software on host systems. The document provides the System Programmer with information necessary to organize the overall host installation effort, including a roadmap to other documents for detailed installation and configuration instructions.

Before you use this document

IBM Rational Developer for System z Version 7.1 (Developer for System z) has prerequisites and functional requisites. The product will not function unless the prerequisites are met. A functional requisite is not necessary for the successful installation of the product, but it is needed at runtime for a specific function supported by the product.

The prerequisites and functional requisites mentioned in Host prerequisites and corequisites for IBM Rational Developer for System z are also listed in the Prerequisites for IBM Rational Developer for System z Version 7.1 (SC23-7659-00) .

Introduction to the installation and configuration of the Developer for System z z/OS components

This chapter is primarily for planning purposes and to give you an overview of the steps involved in installing and customizing the IBM Rational Developer for System z z/OS components.

This chapter contains the following sections:

Product overview

  1. Developer for System z (FMID: HHOP710) provides the following:
  2. Software Configuration and Library Manager (SCLM) Developers Toolkit (FMID: HSD3310) provides the following:
  3. Common Software Configuration Management Access (CARMA) (FMID: HCMA710) provides the following:

Skills and support required for host installation

Anyone attempting to install the Developer for System z host components must have the following skills:

A user with an installed Developer for System z client must also be available to verify the installation of the Developer for System z host components once the install is complete.

Time requirements for host installation

The amount of time required to install and configure the Developer for System z host components depends on the following:

  1. Is z/OS UNIX configured?
  2. Is the SCLM Developers Toolkit installed, configured and active?
  3. Is INETD configured and active?
  4. Is 31 bit Java 1.4.2 or higher available?
    Attention: 64-bit is not supported.
  5. Are OMVS segments available for Developer for System z users?
  6. Does the individual performing the install have the appropriate set of skills?
  7. Is a user, who has successfully installed the client, available to test the install and report any problems that might occur?

Experience has shown that this process requires anywhere from one to four days to complete. This is for a clean install performed by an experienced system programmer - if problems are encountered, or the required skills are not available, the install will take longer.

Overview of the installation and configuration process

  1. The system programmer SMP/E installs the FMIDs (HHOP710 and optionally, HCMA710, HSD3310) along with any available maintenance.
  2. The system programmer customizes the components based on the specific configuration of their host system and the information provided in the IBM Rational Developer for System z Host Configuration Guide.

After the Developer for System z host components are installed and configured, use the Developer for System z client to connect and test product function.

Overview of the configuration process

This is an overview of the configuration process. For more detailed information about configuring Developer for System z, see the IBM Rational Developer for System z Host Configuration Guide.

Configuring the host components

Finding what you need (code and documentation)

The code and documentation for each of the following FMIDs is located on the IBM Rational Developer for System z Server Tools CD.

The information for each FMID is contained in the directory ServerToolsFMID. For example, everything you need for IBM Rational Developer for System z including the Program Directory - hhop710.pdf (SMP/E install) is located in the following directory:

 ServerTools\HHOP710

On the Server Tools CD, in the ServerTools\documentation directory, you will also find the following manuals:

The IBM Rational Developer for System z Host Configuration Guide (SC23-7658-00) contains valuable information and is essential for installing and configuring the Developer for System z host components.

Note:
The EGL Runtime is a separate product and is not included as part of the IBM Rational Developer for System z product.

Host prerequisites and corequisites for IBM Rational Developer for System z
