Using The rinstall Command

It is easiest to use rinstall. To do so you must be on a UNIX/Linux computer. You must have an internet connection. All you need to do is select the product for which you want to install one or more patches. Use the 'ip' option when prompted by rinstall to install patches only. If the previously installed product is visible from the computer where you run the rinstall program it will know if you already have patches installed. It is smart enough to only install the patches you do not have. Otherwise, you can download all of the patches that you do not have. You would need to find out what patches have already been installed by doing the following:

% cd rational_dir/releases/rose.I.J.K/bin

% ./rose -info
