Stopping and Restarting an Installation

You may stop an installation by entering q to quit the installation. If you choose q, most of your input is saved in a user defaults file that is located in rational_dir/config/defaults. The file name itself is of the following format: rs_install.release_name.user_name.

The user defaults file contains general purpose defaults that relate to you and the license server that you configure. It also keeps track of the product-specific information for the installation of this specific suite and version.

Note: If you enter q!, your entries are not saved to the user defaults file.

You can restart the installation by running rs_install again.You should notice that many of your entries appear as the default value. Simply press the Enter key to continue with the installation. Once you get to the Enter Install Mode screen you can choose one of three options:

• Ask - if you want to reinstall the product
• Skip - if you want rs_install to automatically skip any product that has already been installed
• Reinstall - if you want rs_install to automatically uninstall and reinstall the product.
