Read all topics in this section before attempting to install any of the product features. Many problems may be avoided by proper planning and understanding the key aspects of the installation process before actually beginning installation.
There are a number of methods that you might use when installing Developer for System z.
Some factors that might determine the installation method you use are the following:
The typical installation methods you might use are the following:
With this method, you have the CD-ROM disks containing the installation files, and typically you are installing Developer for System z on your own workstation. Refer to Overview: Installing Developer for System z from the installation CDs for an overview of the steps.
If you download the installation files from IBM Passport Advantage, you must extract the electronic images from the compressed files for Developer for System z and any bundled offerings you wish to install before you can begin the installation. Developer for System z electronic images are packaged as self-extracting executable files. Bundled offerings may be packaged differently, such as in zip files.
With this method, you have downloaded the installation files from IBM Passport Advantage and you will install Developer for System z on your own workstation. Refer to Overview: Installing Developer for System z from an electronic image on your workstation for an overview of the steps.
With this method, you will place the electronic image on a shared drive so that users in your enterprise can access the installation files for Developer for System z from a single location. Refer to Overview: Installing Developer for System z from an electronic image on a shared drive for an overview of the steps.
This method provides an alternative way to install across a network. This differs from the previous method because, in order to place installation files for Developer for System z on an HTTP Web server, you must use a utility application - IBM Packaging Utility - which is provided with the Developer for System z installation media. IBM Packaging Utility is used to copy the installation files in a package format that can be used for installing Developer for System z directly from an HTTP Web server. The directory on the HTTP Web server that contains the package is called a repository. The same repository can also be used for other offerings, as well as future service updates. Refer to Overview: Installing Developer for System z from a repository on a HTTP Web server and Overview: Placing Developer for System z on an HTTP Web server for an overview of the steps.
You can customize your Developer for System z installation by selecting which features and bundled offerings you want to install. The Developer for System z launchpad provides you with a list of user roles from which you can select the role that most closely describes your developer role within your enterprise. Choosing your user role will launch the installation with a set of Developer for System z features and bundled offerings selected which are recommended for your developer role. The available user roles and bundled offerings will vary depending on the edition of Developer for System z you purchased.
Alternatively, you can launch a custom installation from the launchpad program. This option will launch the installation with all Developer for System z features and bundled offerings selected by default.
Installation Manager automatically enforces any dependencies between features and prevents you from deselecting any features that are required.
The following table shows the features of Developer for System z that you can choose to install, and the user role(s) that include them by default. For information about the available features of other offerings that are bundled with Developer for System z, see the documentation for those offerings.

The IBM Installation Manager is a program that installs Developer for System z and other packages on your workstation. It also updates, modifies, and uninstalls these 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 with the Installation Manager.
For the most current information on the IBM Installation Manager, see the Installation Infocenter at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/install/v1r2/index.jsp
Installation Manager is an installation management tool that offers a number of time-saving features. It helps you install, update, modify, and uninstall product packages on your computer. It keeps track of what you are about to install, as well as what you have already installed and what is available for you to install. It searches for updates so you know that you are installing the latest version of a package. It also provides tools for managing licenses for the packages it installs, and for updating and modifying packages.
There are six wizards in Installation Manager that make it easy to maintain your package through its lifecycle, as follows:
IBM Installation Manager is typically installed automatically as part of the Developer for System z installation process.
If you need to install IBM Installation Manager by itself, without installing Developer for System z, the IBM Installation Manager installer is provided as a zip file called im.installer.win32.zip in the IMInstaller directory on the IBM Rational Developer for System z Installation Setup CD if you are using physical installation CDs, or in the RDz76Edition_Setup directory if you downloaded an electronic image. To install IBM Installation Manager take the following steps:
You can also perform a silent installation of the Installation Manager using the following steps:
installc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini
userinstc.exe --launcher.ini user-silent-install.ini
For more information about installing IBM Installation Manager, refer to the IBM Installation Manager documentation.
IBM Installation Manager is installed and started automatically when you perform the Developer for System z installation. If you need to start Installation Manager manually to update, modify, roll back, or uninstall packages following the installation, do the following:
The IBM Installation Manager must be uninstalled using the Add or Remove Programs panel in Windows.
Installable offerings, or packages, are stored in locations called repositories, which can be on an HTTP Web server, shared network drive, physical CDs, or your local machine. Installation Manager retrieves packages from these repositories to install them on your system.
When you launch the installation of Developer for System z from the launchpad program, the necessary repository information is passed to Installation Manager automatically. Anytime you start Installation Manager manually from the Windows Start menu, you must specify the repositories that contain the packages you want to install in the Installation Manager repository preferences so that Installation Manager knows where to look for them. See Setting repository preferences in Installation Manager for more details.
Some organizations may bundle and host their own product packages within their intranet. For this type of business case 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 package you install to connect to a repository server through the Internet and search for installable packages, such as service updates and new features.
When you start the installation of Developer for System z from the launchpad program, the necessary repository information is automatically passed to Installation Manager when it starts. However, if you start Installation Manager manually from the Windows Start menu, for example to install packages from a repository located on a Web server, then you must add the repository location in the Installation Manager preferences before you can install the package. This is done on the Repositories panel of the Preferences window in Installation Manager. 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, updates, and new features. Your organization may require you to redirect the repository to use intranet sites.
To add, edit, or remove a repository location in Installation Manager, take the following steps:
When you install Developer for System z with IBM Installation Manager, you must choose a package group and a shared resource directory.
During the installation process, you must specify a package group for Developer for System z and any other bundled offerings you are installing. A package group represents a directory in which packages share resources with other packages in the same group. This is known as shell sharing. When you install Developer for System z and any bundled offerings with Installation Manager, you can choose to 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.)
A package group is assigned a name automatically; however, you choose the installation directory for the package group.
Once you create the package group by successfully installing a package, you cannot change the installation directory for the package group. The installation directory contains files and resources specific to the packages installed into that package group. Other resources in the packages that can potentially be shared by other package groups are placed in the shared resources directory.
The shared resources directory is the directory where resources that can be shared by different packages, potentially in different package groups, are stored. Using a common location for these resources allows Installation Manager to install only one copy of each of these resources to conserve disk space, rather than installing separate copies of the same resources when they are used by multiple packages.
Important: You can specify the shared resources directory only once: the first time that you install a package. For best results, use your largest drive for this. You cannot change the directory location later unless you uninstall all packages.
The Developer for System z package includes a version of the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE), or workbench, which is installed when you install Developer for System z. However, if you have an existing Eclipse integrated IDE that is already installed on your workstation, you have the option to extend that IDE by adding the Developer for System z functionality to the existing environment.
During the Developer for System z installation, select the Extend an existing Eclipse IDE option on the Location page of the Install Packages wizard to extend an existing Eclipse IDE. You will be asked for the location of your existing Eclipse IDE as well as the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that you want to use.
You might extend your existing Eclipse IDE, for example, because you want to gain the functionality provided in the Developer for System z package, but you also want to have the preferences and settings in your current IDE when you work with the functionality from Developer for System z. You also might want to work with plug-ins you have already installed to extend the Eclipse IDE.
Your existing Eclipse IDE must be version 3.4 and must use at least version 1.6 of the IBM Java Development Kit (JDK) to be extended. Installation Manager checks that the Eclipse environment you specify meets the requirements for the installation package. If the requirements are not met, you will not be able to extend that Eclipse IDE.
The following sections provide an overview of the various installation methods you might use when installing Developer for System z.
In this installation scenario, you have the CD-ROM disks containing the installation files, and typically you are installing Developer for System z on your own workstation.
The general steps for installing from the installation CDs are the following:
The general steps for installing from an electronic installation image are the following:
Take the following steps:
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 Developer for System z and any bundled offerings from a single location. This is also useful when you need to perform silent installations on a number of user systems. The following steps are performed by the person placing the installation image on a shared drive:
To install Developer for System z interactively from the installation files on the shared drive, take the following steps:
For information about performing silent installations using your shared electronic image, refer to Silent installation.
In this scenario, the product packages are retrieved by the IBM Installation Manager from an HTTP Web server.
These steps assume the repository containing the packages for Developer for System z and any bundled offerings has been created on the HTTP Web server. Refer to Overview: Placing Developer for System z on an HTTP Web server for details on copying the installation packages to an HTTP Web server.
To install the Developer for System z package from a repository on an HTTP server, take the following steps:
You can place the Developer for System z install package, as well other offering packages, on an HTTP Web server by using the IBM Packaging Utility to create an installation repository. You may want to do this if you have a number of different offerings or service updates you want to place in a single repository in addition to the Developer for System z 7.6 offering and its bundled offerings. You can use this repository to perform interactive or silent installations.
To place packages on an HTTP Web server you will use the IBM Packaging Utility to create a new installation repository or copy to an existing repository. Refer to Copying packages to an HTTP server using the Packaging Utility for details on using the Packaging Utility to create an installation repository. Once you have created your repository, you can do the following:
The Developer for System z launchpad program provides you with a single location to view release information and begin the installation process.
Use the launchpad program to start the installation of Developer for System z in the following cases:
When you start the installation from the launchpad program, IBM Installation Manager will be launched with the necessary repository location information automatically configured. This prevents you from having to set the repository location manually in the Installation Manager preferences.
You can perform a new, full install of Developer for System z version 7.6, or you can upgrade an existing Developer for System z version 7.5 to Developer for System z version 7.6.
If you are performing a new installation of Developer for System z version 7.6, then on the Install Rational Developer for System z panel of the launchpad, you can select from a list of user roles, each describing a developer role you might be performing within your enterprise. Select the role that most closely describes your role as a Developer for System z user to launch the installation with a customized set of features and bundled offerings selected that are recommended for your role. The user roles from which you can select are listed below. Depending on which edition of Developer for System z you purchased, you may not see all of these roles. A description of each role is provided on the launchpad panel.
Developers wanting to develop or maintain on CICS or IMS applications, DB2 Stored Procedures, Batch applications, or green-screen interfaces. The developers can also gain access to IBM problem determination tools, CICS explorer interfaces, and Source Code Management systems.
Developers wanting to develop or maintain traditional workload and to expose System z applications and programs out as Web Services or Service Flows. This also includes the capabilities found in the System z Traditional Developer.
System z developers creating applications and Web interfaces using the EGL language that connect to CICS, IMS, DB2, or Batch applications. This also includes the capabilities found in the Service Developer.
System z developers creating applications and Web interfaces using Java Enterprise Edition that connect to CICS, IMS, DB2, or Batch applications. This also includes the capabilities found in the Service Developer.
The following table shows the user roles and corresponding Developer for System z features associated with each role. (See Table 2 for a description of each feature.)
User role | Associated features |
---|---|
System z Traditional Developer |
|
Service Developer |
|
Web Developer |
This user role also selects the IBM Rational Business Developer and IBM WebSphere Application Server Test Environment offerings. |
J2EE / WAS Developer |
This user role also selects the IBM Rational Application Developer and IBM WebSphere Application Server Test Environment offerings. |
Alternatively, you can select to perform a custom installation rather than selecting a user role. Selecting a custom installation will launch the Developer for System z installation with all features and bundled offerings selected by default.
To start the Developer for System z installation from the launchpad program as an administrator, take the following steps:
You must also decide whether you are installing as an administrator or a non-administrator. If you are installing as an administrator, be sure the "Install with Administrator access" box is checked. (The box is checked by default.) If you are installing as a non-administrator, you must uncheck the box.
When you launch the Developer for System z installation from the launchpad program (see Using the launchpad program), IBM Installation Manager will start and you will be presented with the Install Packages wizard. The following steps will guide you through using the Install Package wizard of Installation Manager to install Developer for System z:
When you are ready to proceed with the installation, click Next. Installation Manager gathers information about the packages you have selected and proceeds to the Licenses panel.
Click OK to restart Installation Manager
.To create a new package group for Developer for System z:

When you have finished making your selections, click Next to continue.
When you have finished selecting the features you want to install, click Next.
To view the installation log file for the current session, click View log file to open the installation log in a new window.
You can install Developer for System z in silent mode. When you run Installation Manager in silent mode, its user interface is not available; you use a response file instead to input the commands required to install the package.
Running Installation Manager in silent mode is helpful because it allows you to use a batch process to install, update, modify, and uninstall packages through scripts.
There are the following three main tasks for silent installation:
If you are planning to perform silent installations on multiple systems, you should copy the installation image to a location on a shared drive where other systems in your intranet can access it.
To copy the installation image from physical installation CDs to a shared location, take the following steps:
To copy the installation image from an electronic image to a shared location, take the following steps:
Alternatively, you can copy your installation image to a repository on an HTTP Web server and perform silent installations using the repository. To create a repository you will need to use the IBM Packaging Utility. Refer to Overview: Placing Developer for System z on an HTTP Web server for more details.
You can create a response file by recording your actions as you install Developer for System z packages using Installation Manager. When you record a response file, all of the selections that you make in the Installation Manager GUI are stored in an XML file. You can then use the same response file to perform silent installations on other systems. When you run Installation Manager in silent mode, Installation Manager uses the XML response file to locate the repository containing the package, select the features to install, and so on.
To record a response file for installation (or uninstallation), take the following steps:
IBMIMC.exe -record <response file path and name>.xml -log <log file path and name>.xml
For example,
IBMIMC.exe -record C:\my_response_file.xml -log C:\install_log.xml
After you exit Installation Manager, an XML response file is created and resides in the location specified in the command you use to launch Installation Manager.
A sample response file which can be used to install Developer for System z is provided on the IBM Rational Developer for System z Installation Setup CD in the SilentInstall directory. The sample response file can also be found in the RDz76Edition_Setup directory if you are installing from an electronic image. You can use this file as-is to perform silent installations of Developer for System z, or modify to your own specifications. Refer to Silent installation commands for information on customizing your response file.
You can run Installation Manager in silent installation mode from a command line.
Refer to the Installation Manager online help for additional documentation on how to run it in silent mode.
You can run Installation Manager in silent mode by running the following command from the directory in which Installation Manager is installed:
IBMIMc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -silent [arguments]
The following table describes the arguments used with the silent installation command:
Argument | Description |
---|---|
-input | This argument specifies an XML response file as the input to Installation Manager. A response file contains commands that Installation Manager runs. |
-log | (Optional) This argument 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, do the following:
Installation Manager runs in silent installation mode. It reads the response file and writes a log file to the directory you specified. You must have a response file when running in silent installation mode, however, log files are optional. A successful install ends in a return code of 0. If the install ends with a non-zero number, the install failed. If you receive a non-zero return code, check the response file and log file for possible causes of the failure. See Silent install log files for more information about log files. If you specified a log file when you entered the silent installation command, any errors will be logged in the log file you specified. A successful installation results in a log file that contains simply the following: <result></result>.
If you want to use the silent installation capabilities of Installation Manager, you need to create a response file that contains all of the commands that Installation Manager must run. The recommended way to do this is to create a response file by recording your actions as you install Developer for System z. However, you can also create or edit a response file manually.
There are the following two categories of commands for the response file:
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.
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" </preferences>
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 UI 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 is the default value. |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences. http.proxyHost Host name or IP address | Host name or IP address | |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences. http.proxyPort | Port number | |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences. http.proxyUseSocks | True or False | False is the default value. |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences. SOCKS.proxyHost | Host name or IP address | |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences. SOCKS.proxyPort | Port number | |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences. ftp.proxyEnabled | True or False | False is the default value. |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences. ftp.proxyHost | Host name or IP address | |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences. ftp.proxyPort | Port number | |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.eclipseCache | c:\IBM\common
Note:
The paths above are default values for this preference; typically, install
packages provide their own values for this preference. |
You cannot change this location if you have already installed a package. |
com.ibm.cic.agent.core.pref.offering.service.repositories.areUsed |
True or False |
Change this preference to 'False' to disable it. When 'True', all linked repositories are searched when products are installed or updated. |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.preserveDownloadedArtifacts |
True or False |
Change this preference to 'False' to disable it. When 'True', the files required to roll the package back to a previous version are stored on your system. When 'False', these files are not stored. If you do not store these files, you must connect to your original repository or media to roll back. |
You can use this reference table to learn more about response file commands for use during a silent installation.
Response file commands | Description |
---|---|
Set profile
<profile id="the profile (package group) id" installLocation="the install location of 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, 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 currently supported keys and related values:
The following list contains the currently supported language codes:
|
Set repositories
<server> <repository location="http:/xxx/repository/"> <repository location="file:/C:/repository/"> <!--add more repositories below> <...> </server> |
Use this command to specify the repositories used during a silent installation. Each repository location can be a URL or a file path. |
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 installation
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 offering 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 installable packages. |
UpdateAll
<updateALL/> Note:
This command is equivalent to using
-silent -updateAll |
Use this command to silently search for and update all available installable packages. |
You can use an XML-based response file to specify predefined information, such as silent installation preferences, repository locations, package groups, 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>
You can use silent install log files to examine the results of a silent installation session.
The silent installation functionality 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 there errors occur during the installation, the silent install log file will contain error elements with messages, such as the following:
<result> <error> Cannot find profile: profile id</error> <error> some other errors</error> </result>
For detail 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.
Wizard mode starts Installation Manager in either the install wizard or the uninstall wizard with your preferences and install or uninstall choices already set based on the specified response file. The response file can only contain preference commands and install or uninstall commands. You cannot mix install and uninstall commands in the same response file when you run Installation Manager in wizard mode.
Enter the following command on the command line to start Installation Manager in wizard mode:
IBMIM.exe -mode wizard -input <response file>
With some products, you can access, download, and update help content from the Web. Access to Web-based help content provides you with the latest content that is available for your product.
If your product offers help content on the Web, only a limited number of help topics are installed with the product. By default, your product connects to the Web and accesses help content directly from an information center. If you need to access the help when you are not connected to the Internet, you can download the help and access it locally, or you can connect to an information center on an intranet server if your system administrator has made one available to you.
See the installation guide to find out if your product supports Web-based help content.
The following three options are available during the installation process, but can be changed at any time:
If you select this option, then you will be linked to your product information center through an ibm.com® Web site. You can access the Web-based help for the product only when you are connected to the Internet. When you are disconnected, you will have access to a limited number of help topics that are installed with the product.
After you download the information center content that you need, it will be available when you work while disconnected. You can update the content when changes are available.
If you are an administrator and you want users to access help content from an intranet server, see the installation information for guidance on setting up the intranet server and downloading the help content from the update site.
Whether you access Web-based help content, download and use help content locally, or connect to your intranet to get help, click Help > Help content to open help topics and find solutions.
To change the way that your products access help content, see the installation topics for your product for detailed instructions.
The Rational Developer for System z help system is configured to use remote help so that you can pull in content from the Web dynamically. With remote help, you always have the latest content available from within Rational Developer for System z. Some help systems are not configured to access help content on the Web; in such cases, help content is included with the installation.
You can obtain help three ways. One of these options is best for you, depending on your needs and situation:
You can change your access decision at any time. If you install multiple products together, you can use different locations for the help for each product, depending on installation footprint, frequency of use, and internet policies. If internet speed is an issue, a longer one-time download and local access might be preferable. Later help updates include only differences.
If you are an administrator and you want users to access help content from an intranet server, see Setting up an intranet server for help content for more information..
Help for Rational Developer for System z is available on a product information center on the Internet. You can view this help from within Rational Developer for System z.
During installation, the option to access help from a remote information center was selected. This option is the default selection.
The Rational Developer for System z help system can retrieve content installed with the product, as well as content from a remote server running an information center. The information center for Rational Developer for System z has the most current help content and when Rational Developer for System z is configured to retrieve content from a remote information center, the contents of the information center can be accessed by selecting Help -> Help Contents to open your help system.
During installation, Rational Developer for System z was configured to access the help from the product information center.
The information center for Rational Developer for System z is available from the following Web address:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ratdevz/v7r6/index.jsp.
Follow these steps to check your connection to the information center:
This topic explains how to download, remove, and update help content from the Local Help System Updater site. Most help content is not installed when you install Rational Developer for System z with web delivery enabled. To access all help content locally, you need to download it from the IBM Local Help System Updater Web site or from the RDz7.6_updateSite.zip file found in the install_localhelp directory of the documentation CD.
During installation, the help access option, Download help and access the content locally, was selected.
Before using the help for the product, you have to download the help to your local system.
To install the help content from the RDz7.6_updateSite.zip file found in the install_localhelp directory of the documentation CD, see Installing help content locally using the Local Help Updater and the RDz7.6_updateSite.zip file
To download the help content from the Local Help System Updater site, complete the following steps:
The help that you selected is installed on your system. The files are updated automatically when an Internet connection is available.
Use the Local Help System updater to ensure that you have the latest help content.
You have installed help features from the Local Help System Updater Web site.
Updates are automatically installed each time you start the product, if you have an Internet connection.
To update the help without restarting the product, complete the following steps:
If you are not going to use remote help to access the help content from the Web, you must install the help content locally. This topic explains how to install the help content using the Local Help System Updater and the RDz7.6_updateSite.zip file provided in the install image. The RDz7.6_updateSite.zip file is located on the IBM Rational Developer for System z Documentation CD.
During installation, the help access option, Download help and access the content locally, was selected.
Before using the help for the product, you have to install the help to your local system.
To install the help content on the workstation using the Local Help System Updater, complete the following steps:
The help that you selected is installed on your system.
You can use the Local Help System Updater to remove installed help content.
You have downloaded help features using the Local Help System Updater.
To remove installed help content, complete the following steps:
Depending on your security requirements, and organizational needs, you can set up an intranet server behind a firewall to provide help content to users. With this method, users do not have to download and save help content to their computers. This arrangement also frees up disk space on users' computers, because the single copy of the help content is stored on a server and is available to many. You can also make sure that all users have the latest help content from IBM with a single update to the intranet server.
Providing help content on an intranet server requires deploying the enterprise help.war application on the server, and then installing help content into the help.war file . You must have an application server running on Windows Server, that can be accessed by users behind a firewall.
These are the general steps for setting up an intranet server for help content:
.See the Installation Manager information center for an example of setting up an Enterprise solution using Tomcat. In the Installation Manager information center, select Enterprise installation articles -> Delivering help content from an intranet server.
You can change the way that you access help content. You can choose from the following methods: access help from the Web; download help and access content locally; or access help from a server on your intranet.
Close the help browser before you change the way that you access help content.
During the installation process, you selected one of the following methods for accessing help content:
To change the way that you access help content, complete the following steps:
Licensing for your installed IBM software and customized packages is administered using the Manage Licenses wizard in IBM Installation Manager. The Manage Licenses wizard displays license information and allows you to perform license configuration tasks for each of your installed packages.
Trial licenses that come with some Rational products expire 30 or 60 days after installation. You need to activate your product in order to use it after the expiration date. Using the Manage Licenses wizard, you can upgrade trial versions of an offering to a licensed version by importing a product activation kit. You can also enable Floating license enforcement for offerings with trial or permanent licenses to use floating license keys from a license server.
An IBM Rational Authorized User license permits a single, specific individual to use a Rational software product. Purchasers must obtain an Authorized User license for each individual user who accesses the product in any manner. An Authorized User license cannot be reassigned unless the purchaser replaces the original assignee on a long-term or permanent basis.
For example, if you purchase one Authorized User license, you can assign that license to one specific individual, who can then use the Rational software product. The Authorized User license does not entitle a second person to use that product at any time, even if the licensed individual is not actively using it.
An IBM Rational Floating license is a license for a single software product that can be shared among multiple team members; however, the total number of concurrent users cannot exceed the number of floating licenses you purchase. For example, if you purchase one floating license for a Rational software product, then any user in your organization may use the product at any given time. Another person who wants to access the product must wait until the current user logs off.
To use floating licenses, you must obtain floating license keys and install them on a Rational License Server. The server responds to end-user requests for access to the license keys; it will grant access to the number of concurrent users that matches the number of licenses the organization purchased.
If you are installing a Rational software product for the first time or want to extend a license to continue using the product, you have options on how to enable licensing for your product.
Licenses for Rational Software Development Platform offerings are enabled in the following two ways:
Product activation kits contain permanent or term license keys for your trial Rational product. You purchase the activation kit, download the activation kit .zip file to your local machine, and then import the activation kit .jar file to enable the license for your product. Use IBM Installation Manager to import the activation kit to your product.
Optionally, you can obtain floating license keys, install IBM Rational License Server, and enable Floating license enforcement for your product. Floating license enforcement provides the following benefits:
For more information on obtaining activation kits and Floating licenses, see Purchasing licenses.
You can review license information for your installed packages, including license types and expiration dates, from IBM Installation Manager.
To view license information, take the following steps:
The package vendor, current license types, and expiration dates are displayed for each installed package.
To install your permanent or term license key, you must import the activation kit from the download location or the product media by using IBM Installation Manager.
If you have not purchased an activation kit, you must do this first. If you have purchased a product or a product activation kit, insert the appropriate CD or download the activation kit from IBM Passport Advantage to an accessible workstation. The activation kit is packaged as a Java archive (.jar) file. The .jar file contains the permanent license key and must be imported to activate your product.
To import the activation kit .jar and enable the new license key, take the following steps:
The product activation kit with its permanent license key is imported to the product. The Manage Licenses wizard indicates whether or not the import was successful.
If your team environment supports Floating license enforcement, you can enable Floating licenses for your product and configure a connection to obtain access to floating license keys.
Before enabling Floating license enforcement, you must obtain the license server connection information from your administrator. For details on license server, license key, and Rational Common Licensing administration, see the IBM Rational License Management Guide.
To enable floating licenses as the license type for specified packages and configure license server connections:
The Manage Licenses wizard indicates whether the floating licenses configuration is successful.
Now, when you next open the enabled product, a connection is created to the license server to obtain a license key from the pool of available floating license keys.
You can purchase new licenses if your current product license is about to expire or if you want to acquire additional product licenses for team members.
To purchase licenses and enable your product, complete the following steps:
Optionally, you can also go to Passport Advantage to download the activation kit for your product. After importing the activation kit, you have the option of switching from a floating to a permanent license type if you use your PC offline for long periods.
When you want to import the activation kit or enable floating license support for your product, use the Manage Licenses wizard in IBM Installation Manager.
You can import product licenses and configure floating license support silently, just like you can install packages silently. You will need to generate a response file to be used by IBM Installation Manager to perform your license configuration tasks. Refer to Silent installation for details on recording a response file and running silent installations. When recording your response file, use the Manage Licenses panel to import an activation kit or configure floating license support before you exit Installation Manager. The necessary information for performing these tasks silently will be written in the response file.
You can start Developer for System z from the Windows desktop environment or the command-line interface, as follows:
The IBM Installation Manager Modify Packages allows you to change the content of the installed packages by adding or removing features. This functionality is available only on packages that have been installed using the IBM Installation Manager.
To modify an installed package, take the following steps:
You can use IBM Installation Manager to install product updates and new features for any packages that were installed by Installation Manager.
By default, Internet access is required to install updates unless your repository preferences point to a local or network update repository to which your system has access. See the Installation Manager help for more information.
To find and install package updates, take the following steps:
The Uninstall option in the Installation Manager allows you to uninstall packages that were previously installed using Installation Manager.
To uninstall the packages, you must log in to the system using the same user account that you used to install the packages. Do one of the following to begin the uninstall process:
If you have a workspace you used in WebSphere Developer for zSeries 6.0.1 or WebSphere Developer for System z 7.0, and you want to migrate the workspace for use with IBM Rational Developer for System z Version 7.6, you must follow these steps:
See the Developer for System z Host Planning Guide for details on installing required System z components.
CICS TxSeries for Multiplatforms provides a local CICS development platform so you can develop CICS programs.
CICS TxSeries has its own set of installation documentation, which is available on the disk with the product.
To install IBM TxSeries for Multiplatforms:
To install the UML Profiles for COBOL Development extension:
If you already have IBM Rational Software Architect installed, choose the package group in which you install it when you are prompted to select the existing package group for installation.
If you are installing Rational Software Architect at the same time as UML Profiles for COBOL Development, you can either create a new package group or install into an existing one.
See the Developer for System z RSE Server Installation and Configuration Guide on the IBM Rational Developer for System z RSE Server for AIX, Linux, and Linux on System z Installation CD for details on installing the optional RSE Server.
This section covers known problems and limitations with installation and uninstallation.
For information about product problems and limitations, refer to the readme.html file located in the Documents\en directory of the CD IBM Rational Developer for System z Installation Setup CD.
Workspaces used with Rational Developer for System z 7.6 are not compatible with WebSphere Developer for zSeries 6.0.1. If you start Rational Developer for System z 7.6 using a workspace from WebSphere Developer for zSeries 6.0.1, your workspace will be migrated to work with Rational Developer for System z 7.6. If you plan to uninstall the Rational Developer for System z 7.6 and continue to use any WebSphere Developer for zSeries 6.0.1 workspace, you should back up your WebSphere Developer for zSeries 6.0.1 workspace before installing Rational Developer for System z 7.6.
You can use the IBM Packaging Utility software to copy packages to a repository that can be placed on a Web server available over HTTP or HTTPS.
The Packaging Utility software is included on the IBM Rational Auxiliary CD. If you want to place a repository containing Developer for System z and other packages on a Web server available over HTTP, then you must use the Packaging Utility to copy the packages into the repository.
You can use this utility to perform the following tasks:
Refer to the online help for the Packaging Utility for full instructions on using the tool.
The IBM Packaging Utility must be extracted from a compressed file before it can be used to copy the Developer for System z package.
Use the following steps to extract the IBM Packaging Utility software:
If you want to create a repository on an HTTP server, then you must use the Packaging Utility to copy packages to the repository. The Packaging Utility can be used to combine multiple product packages, as well as service updates, into a single repository location. Refer to the Packaging Utility online help for more information.
To copy packages with the packaging utility, take the following steps:
Alternatively, you can select Passport Advantage... to enter your Passport Advantage ID and password and copy packages from the Passport Advantage.
Now that you have used the Packaging Utility to copy the Developer for System z installation files into a repository, you can place the repository on a Web server or other shared driver and make it available over HTTP or HTTPS. (The repository can also be placed on a UNC drive.)
