IBM Installation
Manager
IBM Installation
Manager is a program that helps you install the WebSphere and Rational(R) product packages 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 WebSphere Development Studio Client on your workstation,
use Installation Manager to install
your package.
IBM Installation Manager offers a number of time-saving
features. It keeps track of what you are about to install, software components
that you have already installed, and components that are available for you
to install. It searches for updates so you know that you are installing the
latest version of a WebSphere or Rational product package. Installation Manager also provides tools
for managing licenses for the product packages that it installs. It provides
tools for updating and modifying packages. You can also use Installation Manager to
uninstall product packages.
IBM Installation Manager comprises five wizards
that make it easy to maintain your product packages through their lifecycles:
- The Install Packages wizard walks you through the
installation process. You can install a product package by simply accepting
the defaults, or you can modify the default settings to create a custom installation.
Before you install a product package, you are provided with a complete summary
of the selections that you have made throughout the wizard. With the wizard
you can install one or more product packages at the same time.
- The Update Packages wizard searches for available
updates to product packages that you have installed. An update might be a
released fix, a new feature, or a new version of the product. Details of the
contents of the update are provided in the wizard. You can choose whether
to apply an update.
- With the Modify Packages wizard you can modify specific
elements of a package that you have already installed. During your initial
installation of the product package, you select the features you want to install.
If you find later that you require other features, you can use the Modify
Packages wizard to add them to your product package installation. You can
also remove features, and add or remove languages.
- The Manage Licenses wizard helps you to set up the
licenses for your packages. However, you will not use this wizard for installing
a WebSphere Development
Studio Client package. WebSphere Development Studio Client includes a
full license that is automatically installed upon installation of the product.
- The Uninstall Packages wizard helps you to remove
a product package from your computer. You can uninstall more than one package
at a time.

Planning to install
Read all the topics in this section before you begin to install any of
the product features. Effective planning and an understanding of the key aspects
of the installation process can help ensure a successful installation.
Installation scenarios
There are a number of scenarios that you can follow when installing WebSphere Development Studio Client.
The following factors might determine your installation scenario:
- The format and method by which you access your installation files (for
example, from CDs or files downloaded from IBM Passport Advantage(R)).
- The location for your installation (for example, you can install the product
onto your own workstation, or make the installation files available to your
enterprise).
- 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.
- Installing 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 WebSphere Development Studio Client.
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 CDs that contain the product package files, and typically you are
installing WebSphere Development Studio Client on
your own workstation. Refer to Installing WebSphere Development Studio Client from
CDs: 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 either IBM Passport
Advantage or the Entitled Software Support site and you
will install WebSphere Development Studio Client on
your own workstation. Refer to Installing WebSphere Development Studio Client from
an electronic image on your workstation: task overview for
an overview of the steps.
Installing from an electronic image on a shared drive
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 WebSphere Development Studio Client from
a single location. Refer to Installing WebSphere Development Studio Client from
an electronic image on a shared drive: task overview for
an overview of the steps.
Installing from a repository on
an HTTP server
This scenario represents the fastest method for installing
the product across a network. This scenario differs from the shared-drive
installation, In order to place product package files for WebSphere Development Studio Client on
an HTTP Web server, you must use the IBM Packaging Utility. This utility is provided
with WebSphere Development Studio Client to
copy the installation files in a format - a package - that can be used
for installing WebSphere Development Studio Client directly
from a HTTP Web server. The directory on the HTTP Web server that contains
the package is called a repository. Note that, in this scenario, the
installation files for only WebSphere Development Studio Client are
placed in the package. Refer to Installing WebSphere Development Studio Client from
a repository on a HTTP Web server: task overview and Placing WebSphere Development Studio Client on
an HTTP Web server: task overview for an overview of the steps.
Deciding which features to install
With version 7.0, you can customize your software product by selecting
which features of WebSphere Development Studio Client to
install.
When you install the WebSphere Development Studio Client product
package using IBM Installation
Manager, the installation wizard displays the features in the available product
package. From the features list, you can select which to install. A default
set of features is selected for you (including any required features). Installation
Manager automatically enforces any dependencies between features and prevents
you from clearing any required features.
Installing only the Remote System Explorer feature will result in a lightweight
edit/compile/debug environment for developing native i5/OS applications. This installation
option is applicable to both WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries and WebSphere Development
Studio Client Advanced Edition for iSeries, and does not require significant
resources to execute. By limiting the selection, the web tooling components
are not installed which greatly reduces the memory requirements for running
this program. Please refer to. Hardware requirements for
more details.
Note:
After you finish installing the package, you can still add or remove
features from your software product by running the Modify Packages wizard
in Installation Manager. See
Modifying installations for
more information.

Upgrade and coexistence considerations
If you have a previous version of the product, or if you plan to
install multiple Rational Software Development Platform products
on the same workstation, review the information in this section.
Considerations for coexistence of IBM product offerings
Some products are designed to coexist and share function when they are
installed in the same package group. A package group is a location where you
can install one or more software products or packages. When you install each
package, you select whether you want to install the package to an existing
package group, or whether you want to create a new one. IBM Installation
Manager will block products that are not designed to share or do not meet
version tolerance and other requirements. If you want to install more than
one product at a time, the products must be able to share a package group.
At the time of release, the following products will share function when
installed to a package group:
- WebSphere Development
Studio Client for iSeries or WebSphere Development Studio Client
Advanced Edition for iSeries
- WebSphere Developer
for zSeries
- Host Access Transformation Services Toolkit
- Rational Application
Developer
- Rational Software
Architect
- Rational Functional
Tester
- Rational Software
Modeler
- Rational Systems
Developer
Any number of eligible products can be installed to a package group. When
a product is installed, its function is shared with all of the other products
in the package group. If you install a development product and a testing product
into one package group, when you start either of the products, you have both
the development and testing functionality available to you in your user interface.
If you add a product with modeling tools, all of the products in the package
group will have the development, testing, and modeling functionality available.
If you install a development product and later purchase a development product
with increased functionality and add that product to the same package group,
the additional function will be available in both products. If you uninstall
the product with the greater functionality, the original product remains.
Note that this is a change from the 'upgrade' behavior of version 6 products
in the Rational Software
Development Platform.
Note:
Each product installed into a unique location may
be associated with only one package group. A product must be installed into
multiple locations in order to be associated with multiple package groups. Rational Functional
Tester can be installed into only one location on a computer.
Upgrade considerations
You cannot upgrade a previous version of WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries or WebSphere Development Studio Client Advanced Edition for iSeries that is already
installed on your workstation to version 7.0. However, WebSphere Development Studio Client version
7.0 can coexist with earlier versions.
You can migrate your workspace, projects, and artifacts from WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries or WebSphere Development Studio Client Advanced Edition for iSeries version 5.1.2
or 6.x to version 7.0. Refer to the migration documentation in the V7.0 online
help (Help > Help Contents then look in the WebSphere
Development Studio Client for iSeries > Installing and migrating book)
for details.
Important:
Note that the first time you start WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries or WebSphere Development Studio Client Advanced Edition for iSeries version 7.0
it defaults to a new workspace. Do not open your existing workspace in version
7.0 until you read the migration documentation.
If you have a previous version of Agent Controller, you should stop it,
uninstall it, and clean up any leftover files before installing this version
of Agent Controller. For more information, refer Installing Agent Controller.
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 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 WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries or WebSphere Development Studio Client Advanced Edition for iSeries from the Launchpad
program, the location of the repository that contains the product package
you are installing is automatically defined in IBM Installation Manager. However, if you
start Installation Manager directly (for example, installing WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries or WebSphere Development Studio Client Advanced Edition for iSeries 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 entered 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.
Package groups and the shared resource directory
When you install the WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries or WebSphere Development Studio Client Advanced Edition for iSeries package with IBM Installation Manager, you must choose a package
group and a shared resource directory.
Package groups
During the installation process,
you must specify a package group for the WebSphere Development Studio Client package.
A package group represents a directory in which packages share resources with
other packages in the same group. When you install the WebSphere Development Studio Client package
with Installation Manager, you can
create a new package group or install the packages into an existing package
group. (Some packages might not be able to share a package group, in which
case the option to use an existing package group will be disabled.)
Note
that when you install multiple packages at the same time, all the packages
are installed into the same package group. Refer to Considerations for coexistence of IBM product offerings to
view a list of the supported packages
A package group is assigned a
name automatically; however, you choose the installation directory for the
package group.
After you create the package group by successfully installing
a product package, you cannot change the installation directory. The installation
directory contains files and resources specific to the WebSphere Development Studio Client product
package installed into that package group. Resources in the product package
that can potentially be used by other package groups are placed in the shared
resources directory.
Shared resources directory
The shared resources
directory is the directory where installation artifacts are located so
that they can be used by one or more product package groups.
Important:
You
can specify the shared resources directory once: the first time that you install
a package. We suggest that you use your largest drive for this. You cannot
change the directory location unless you uninstall all packages.
Extending an existing Eclipse IDE
When you install the WebSphere Development Studio Client product
package, you can choose to extend an Eclipse integrated development environment
(IDE) already installed on your computer by adding the functions that the WebSphere Development Studio Client package contains.
The WebSphere Development Studio Client package
that you install with IBM Installation Manager is
bundled with a version of the Eclipse IDE or workbench; this bundled workbench
is the base platform for providing the functionality in the Installation Manager package.
However, if you have an existing Eclipse IDE on your workstation, then you
have the option to extend, that is, add to the IDE the additional functionality
provided in the WebSphere Development Studio Client package.
You might extend your existing Eclipse IDE, for example, because you want
to gain the functionality provided in the WebSphere Development Studio Client package,
but you also want to have the preferences and settings in your current IDE
when you work with the functionality from the WebSphere Development Studio Client package.
You also might want to work with plug-ins you have installed that already
extend the Eclipse IDE.
To extend an existing Eclipse IDE: in the Location page of the Install
Packages wizard, select the Extend an existing Eclipse IDE option.
Your existing Eclipse IDE must be version 3.2.1 plus the latest updates
from eclipse.org to be extended. Installation Manager checks that the Eclipse
instance you specify meets the requirements for the installation package.
Important:
Choosing to extend an Eclipse IDE for installation
supports some components of WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries and WebSphere Development Studio Client Advanced Edition for iSeries.
Note:
You might need to update your Eclipse version in order to install updates
to WebSphere Development Studio Client.
Refer to the update release documentation for information on changes to the
prerequisite Eclipse version.

Installing silently
You can install the WebSphere Development Studio Client
product package by running Installation Manager in silent installation mode.
When you so this 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 WebSphere Development
Studio Client package. Refer to Managing 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 WebSphere Development Studio Client 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
a response file. When you run Installation Manager in silent mode, Installation
Manager uses the response file to locate the repository that contains the
package, to select the features to install, and so on. Refer to Installing WebSphere Development Studio Client using the IBM Installation Manager for
the installation steps.
You can find a sample response file here.
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 WebSphere Development Studio Client using the IBM Installation Manager.
- 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.
You can find a sample response file for running Installation Manager here. 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. You can find launcher.bat file in the
eclipse folder of the Installation Manager's install directory.
- launcher.bat -silent [arguments]
The following table describes the arguments used with the silent
installation command:

-silent |
Directs Installation Manager to run in silent mode (without the
Installation Manager user interface). |
-input |
Specifies an XML response file as the input to
Installation Manager. A response file contains commands that Installation
Manager runs. |
-log |
(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 -silent -input c:/temp/responsefile.xml -log c:/temp/mylog.log
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 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:
- For Windows: 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:
- For Windows: 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 the commands that
you want Installation Manager to run. There recommended way to do this is
to record your actions as you install the IBM WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries or IBM WebSphere Development Studio Client Advanced Edition for iSeries 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 the Installation Manager graphical user interface under File > Preferences,
such as repository location information.
- Silent installation commands are used to emulate the Install Packages
wizard in Installation Manager
Silent install 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"
</preference>
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 |

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
two installation contexts; one for Eclipse and one for native.
A profile is an installation location.
You can use the <data> element
for setting profile properties.
The following list contains the keys
currently supported keys and related values:
- The eclipseLocation key specifies an existing Eclipse
location value, such as c:\myeclipse\eclipse.

|
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. |
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 installation log files
You can use silent installation log files to examine the results
of a silent installation session.
The silent installation function 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.
IBM Packaging
Utility
Use the 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 Packaging Utility software is located on the Auxiliary CD that is included
with WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries and WebSphere Development Studio Client Advanced Edition for iSeries. If you want
to place a repository that contains a WebSphere Development Studio Client package
on a Web server that will be available over HTTP or HTTPS, you must use the
Packaging Utility to copy the product package of WebSphere Development Studio Client into
the repository.
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 the Packaging Utility for full instructions
on using the tool.
Installing the Packaging Utility
The IBM Packaging
Utility must be installed from the Auxiliary CD before it can be used to copy
theWebSphere Development Studio Client product
package.
Use the following steps to install the IBM Packaging Utility software:
- Start the installation from the Auxiliary CD. Change
to the Aux_CD_Win\PackagingUtility directory on the Auxiliary CD. PackagingUtility\PU_win32.zip
and run install_win32.exe.
- If IBM Installation
Manager is not detected on your workstation, you are prompted to install it
and then the installation wizard starts. Follow the on-screen instructions
in the wizard to complete the installation of Installation Manager. See Installing Installation Manager on Windows for
details.
- When the installation of Installation Manager completes, or if
it is already on your computer, Installation Manager starts and automatically
begins the Install Packages wizard.
- Follow the on-screen instructions in the Install Packages wizard
to complete the installation.
Copying product packages to a HTTP server using the Packaging Utility
To
create a repository on a HTTP or HTTPS server, you must use the Packaging
Utility to copy the product package for WebSphere Development Studio Client
Note that this method does not copy the optional software that
is included with the WebSphere Development Studio Client installation
image. Only the WebSphere Development Studio Client files
that are installed using IBM Installation Manager are copied.
Note also
that the Packaging Utility can be used to combine multiple product packages
into a single repository location. Refer to the Packaging Utility online help
for more information.
To copy product packages with the packaging utility:
- If you are copying from a CD image, perform these tasks:
- Insert the first installation CD into your CD drive.
- If autorun is enabled on your system, the WebSphere Development Studio Client Launchpad
program automatically opens. Close the Launchpad program.
- Start the Packaging Utility.
- On the main page of the utility, click Copy product
package. The Prerequisite page opens, and presents
two options:
- I will be downloading product packages from IBM Web
- I will be obtaining the product packages from other sources
- Click I will be downloading product packages from IBM
Web.
Note:
You can use the I will be obtaining
the product packages from other sources option if you have already
defined an accessible repository.
- Click Next to advance to the Source page.
If there are no product packages to select, you must open a repository that
contains product packages.
- To open a repository, click the Open repository button. The Open Repository window opens.
Note:
A
repository can be a path to a directory in the file system, a disk drive containing
the first CD of the product, or a URL to a directory on a server.
- To define a repository location, click the Repository Location Browse button,
and then navigate to and select the Repository location - either the common
root directory that contains the electronic disk images or the drive
containing the first product installation CD. For example, if the WebSphere Development Studio Client files (disk1,
disk2, and so on) reside in C:\My product\unzip, you
should define this location as a repository.
- Click OK to define the repository location
and to close the Browse to a repository directory window.
- On the Destination page, click the Browse button
and select an existing repository directory, or create a new folder to store
the products.
- After you specify a repository for the selected product packages
and any fixes, click OK to close the Browse
to a directory window. The file path that you
just defined is listed in the Directory field on the Destination page.
- Click Next to advance to the Summary page. The Summary page displays the selected product
packages that will be copied into the destination repository. This page also
lists the amount of storage space that the copy requires, as well as the amount
of available space on the drive.
- Click Copy to copy the selected product
packages to the destination repository. A status bar opens at the
bottom of the wizard indicating how much time is remaining in the copy process. After the copy process is finished, a Complete page
opens and displays all of the product packages that were copied successfully.
- Click Done to return to the Packaging Utility
main page.
Now that you have used the Packaging Utility to copy the WebSphere Development Studio Client installation
files into a repository, you can place the repository on a Web server and
make the directories and files available over HTTP. (The repository can also
be placed on a UNC drive.)
You can start WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries or WebSphere Development Studio Client Advanced Edition for iSeries from the desktop
environment or a command line interface.

Uninstalling previous versions of Agent Controller
- Note:
- Before installing Agent Controller version 7.0.1, you must uninstall the
previous version of Agent Controller:
- If Agent Controller 7.0 or 6.x is found, the Agent Controller v7.0.1
installer will block the installation with a warning: Please remove any existing IBM Rational Agent
Controller and run the install again. When using the silent installer, the
Agent Controller v7.0.1 installer will exit the installation without any warning.
- If a previous installation of Agent Controller v7.0.1 is found, the installer
displays the following warning: This product is already installed at <rac_install_dir>.
To overwrite the existing installation, click "Next"." If you choose to continue
with the installation, the installer will overwrite the existing installation.
When using the silent installer, the existing installation will be overwritten
without any warning.
When uninstalling Agent Controller V6.x on Windows,
you will need to manually remove any residual files. To do this, stop the
Agent Controller, uninstall it, and clean up any of the following files which

Starting and stopping Agent Controller on a Windows workstation
- On Windows, the Agent Controller system service (RAService.exe)
will be started automatically.
- Use the Windows Services dialog under Control Panel to start
or stop the Agent Controller service (Start > Settings > Control
Panel > Administrative Tools > Services>IBM Rational(R) Agent
Controller).
Starting and stopping Agent Controller on a non-Windows workstation
- On non-Windows platforms, the Agent Controller process (RAServer) does
not start automatically. You must start it yourself.
- Important: The following environment settings for non-Windows
platforms must be set before starting Agent Controller.
- To start the Agent Controller process, change to the installation location's bin directory
(for example, /opt/IBM/AgentController/bin) and run
./RAStart.sh
- To stop the Agent Controller process, change to the installation location's bin directory
(for example, /opt/IBM/AgentController/bin) and run
./RAStop.sh
Uninstalling Agent Controller on a Windows workstation
- Agent Controller can be removed from the Add/Remove Programs dialog
under Control Panel.
- To perform a silent uninstallation, run the command uninstall.exe
-silent from the installation location's _uninst directory (for
example, C:\Program Files\IBM\AgentController\_uninst).
Uninstalling Agent Controller on a non-Windows workstation
- Run the program uninstall.bin from the installation location's
_uninst directory (for example, /opt/IBM/AgentController/_uninst).
- Follow the on-screen instruction to complete the uninstallation.
- To perform a silent uninstallation, use the command uninstall.bin
-silent.
Uninstalling Agent Controller that has multiple references on a workstation
Agent Controller version 7.0.1 prevents multiple instances of the product
from being installed on a single workstation. When additional installations
are performed, either by stand-alone install or as an embedded install inside
a product, Agent Controller records a reference to the name of the product
that is initiating the new installation.
If Agent Controller has been installed multiple times - in other words,
there are multiple reference counts - either by stand-alone install or as
an embedded install inside a product, it can be uninstalled only when the
last referencing product is uninstalled; the last referencing product still
requires Agent Controller.
If you attempt to uninstall Agent Controller while it is still required
by another product, the uninstallation will not proceed and you will receive
a message "This product cannot be uninstalled as it is required by another
product."
Installing Agent Controller on OS/400 (iSeries)
Uninstalling previous versions of Agent Controller
If you have a previous version of Agent Controller, stop it and uninstall
it before installing this version.
Installing Agent Controller
- On the iSeries host,
create a library called HYADESDC and another library called IBMRAC:

./RAStop.sh
Uninstalling Agent Controller on OS/400 (iSeries)
- Remove the HYADESDC and IBMRAC library.
- Remove the IFS directory /opt/hyadesdc (including all subdirectories and
files).
Installing Agent Controller on z/OS (OS/390)
Uninstalling previous versions of Agent Controller
If you have a previous version of Agent Controller, stop it and uninstall
it before installing this version.
Installing Agent Controller
- In a UNIX System
Services shell, go to the directory where you want to install Agent Controller.
It is recommended that you install it in the /usr/lpp/ directory.
- Transfer the install images ibmrac.os390.pax, tptpdc.os390.pax to
the installation directory.
- Issue the following command to extract Agent Controller files:
pax -ppx -rvf ibmrac.os390.pax
- Issue the following command to extract the test and performance tools
(TPTP) Agent Controller files:
pax -ppx -rvf tptpdc.os390.pax
- Change the directory to the installation bin directory <rac_install_dir>/bin,
and run the script to create links to the Agent Controller libraries by typing:
./createLinks.sh
- Make the Agent Controller shared object files program controlled by issuing
the following commands in a UNIX System Services shell:
extattr +p /usr/lpp/IBM/AgentController/lib/*.so
If you wish to install the National Language packs, complete steps 7 and
8 below. If not, proceed to step 9.
- Transfer the NL install images tptpdc.nl1.os390.pax, tptpdc.nl2.os390.pax,
ibmrac.os390.nl1.pax, ibmrac.os390.nl2.pax to the installation directory.
- Issue the following command to extract Agent Controller files:
pax -ppx -rf tptpdc.nl1.os390.pax
pax -ppx -rf tptpdc.nl2.os390.pax
pax -ppx -rf ibmrac.os390.nl1.pax
pax -ppx -rf ibmrac.os390.nl2.pax
- After you have installed Agent Controller, change the directory to the
installed location's bin directory /usr/lpp/IBM/AgentController/bin, and
run the setup script by typing:
./SetConfig.sh
- Follow the on-screen prompt to configure Agent Controller.
Data Channel usage on z/OS:
In order to set a large dataChannelSize in the serviceconfig.xml file you
may need to increase the maximum shared memory segment size setting on your
machine. To do this, increase the IPCSHMMPAGES value in the BPXPRMxx parmlib
member. This value is the maximum number of 4K pages that your data channel
can be. For example, if you want to set dataChannelSize to 32M, you must
set IPCSHMMPAGES to a value greater than 8192.
To allow Agent Controller to communicate with a large number of agents
simultaneously, you must set the IPCSHMNSEGS value in the BPXPRMxx parmlib
member to an appropriate value. This value specifies the maximum number of
attached shared memory segments for each address space. The default value
is 10 so you should increase this to 50.
For more information about the data channels used by Agent Controller,
refer to the online help information for Agent Controller.
For more information about z/OS BPXPRMXX parmlib members and how to
update them, refer to IBM z/OS MVSTM Initialization and
Tuning Reference.
Starting and stopping Agent Controller on the z/OS (OS/390)
Note: RAServer requires the directories of the JRE that contain
executable libraries such as libjvm.so to be added to the LIBPATH environment
variable. For example, if you are using the IBM JRE 1.4.1, the LIBPATH variable would
be set as follows:
export LIBPATH=/usr/lpp/java/IBM/J1.4/bin/classic:
/usr/lpp/java/IBM/J1.4/bin:$LIBPATH
- Start the server by logging in as root, opening the /usr/lpp/IBM/AgentController/bin
directory and issuing the command:
./RAStart.sh
- To stop the server, log in as root, open the /usr/lpp/IBM/AgentController/bin
directory, and issue the command:
./RAStop.sh
Uninstalling Agent Controller on the z/OS (OS/390)
Using the Agent Controller security feature
The following list contains hints and tips for using the Agent Controller
security feature on all platforms:
- Authentication is provided by the operating system. Only users specified
at installation time will be allowed to authenticate. If the user name ANY is
provided, any valid user name and password pairs will be forwarded to the
operation system for authentication, otherwise only listed pairs will be
forwarded.
- When security is enabled, the users you specified at installation time
are required to authenticate with the operating system before any information
can be exchanged with Agent Controller. The workbench user must provide a
valid user name and password combination that is an operating system user
name and password.
- (Windows only) Domain name passwords will not
be authenticated. You must provide local user name and password pairs.
- There are no key management capabilities provided. Agent Controller uses
Java keystores
for security.
- A default keystore and exported certificate are in the Agent Controller
directory <rac_install_dir>\security for Windows, and <rac_install_dir>/security
for Linux.
Where <rac_install_dir> is the installation directory of Agent Controller.These
are samples only. You should replace these with a keystore containing meaningful
certificates.
Workbench/Agent Controller compatibility summary
Backward compatibility (using an older workbench with a version
6.0.1 Agent Controller): Yes, they are compatible, in that the new Agent Controller
supports all the features in previous versions (for example, Security on the
control channel). However, you will not be able to use new features, including
multiplexing (returning data via the control channel so that it can be secure).
Forward compatibility (using a 6.0.1 workbench with an older Agent
Controller): No, in general, is not supported.
Cross-version Inter-Agent-Controller compatibility: Some products
or tools (such as IBM Performance Optimization Toolkit) require that Agent
Controllers on multiple hosts (apart from the workbench) "discover" and communicate
with each other. Changes made from one version to the next surrounding this
function mean that if you need to use this function, you must use either Agent
Controller version 6.0.0.1 or Agent Controller version 6.0.1 on all involved
hosts. That is, you cannot mix and match versions when using dynamic discovery
between Agent Controller instances.
Known problems and limitations
This section covers known problems and limitations related to installing
and uninstalling Agent Controller. Except where otherwise noted,
the following information applies to all operating systems that are supported
for Agent Controller.
Agent Controller may fail to start on non-Windows platforms
Agent Controller may fail to start on non-Windows platforms with the following
message:
RAServer failed to start.
This failure is usually caused when TCP/IP port 10002 is not free. Agent
Controller listens on this port by default. Another process running on the
system may be using this port when Agent Controller is started or perhaps
Agent Controller was just stopped and then restarted before the port could
be released.
If Agent Controller failed to start, you can start it as follows:
- If port 10002 is being used by another process, you can change the port
number by editing the serviceconfig.xml file. This is described in the documentation.
- Note:
- If the communication port number that is configured in the serviceconfig.xml
file has been changed, then the property INSTANCE_RAC_PORT_NUM_ID that is
defined in the WebSphere Application
Server configuration needs to be changed to the same port number.
- If Agent Controller was just stopped, wait a few minutes and try to start
it again.
Other errors during installation and uninstallation
If you encounter errors during installation or uninstallation, this may
be due to the fact that the object files of Agent Controller are loaded by
running processes. To ensure the object files can be modified, do the following:
- Shut down your Eclipse workbench.
- Terminate all java.exe processes that contain either the Java Profiling
Agent or the J2EE Request Profiler.

You must have WebSphere Development Studio Client installed before
you can install the portal test environment. We recommend that you stop WebSphere
Development Studio Client before you start the portal test environment installation.
To install the WebSphere Portal Test Environment 5.1.0.x, follow
these steps:
- If you have installed any of WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Portal, WebSphere Application
Server Integrated Test Environment, or WebSphere Portal integrated test environment,
ensure all of them are stopped and ensure you stop any HTTP servers. Otherwise,
the installation may fail.
- Start the WebSphere Portal test environment version 5.1 installation
program using one of the following methods:
- From the WebSphere Development Studio Client launchpad program (see Starting the launchpad program), click WebSphere
Portal V5.1 test environment.
- Insert the setup CD of WebSphere Portal 5.1.0.x. On Windows systems,
the installation program should start automatically. If it does not, or if
you are installing on a Linux system, run the following command from the root
of the setup CD or disk image:
- For Windows: install.bat -W dependency.useValidation=false
- For Linux: install.sh -W dependency.useValidation=false
Note:
If
you start the installation program from an electronic image, you might receive
a ":bad interpreter : no such file or directory" error. To start the installation
successfully, change to the directory of the setup disk image and then run
the command dos2unix install.sh -W dependency.useValidation=false.
- Select the language you want the installation program run in and
click OK to continue
- Read the information in the Welcome page of the installation program
and click Next.
- Accept the license agreement and click Next

Using DB2 or
Oracle database as the WebSphere Portal configuration repository
By default, the WebSphere Portal 5.1 test environment installs
and uses the Cloudscape(TM) database
to store information about user identities, credentials, and permissions for
accessing portal resources. Cloudscape is a WebSphere Portal built-in Java database
that is well suited to basic portal environments.
To install and configure a DB2 or Oracle database, please refer to
