Installing IBM Data Studio full client

You use the IBM Installation Manager product to install, update, and uninstall the Data Studio full client.

Migrating to IBM Data Studio full client Version 3.1 or later

IBM Data Studio full client now includes the features and functionality previously provided in the IBM® Optim™ Development Studio and IBM Optim Database Administration products. Due to the feature enhancements in Data Studio full client, you cannot use the update feature in Installation Manager to update past versions of IBM Data Studio, IBM Optim Development Studio, or IBM Optim Database Administration to Data Studio full client Version 3.1 or later.

To migrate from past versions of IBM Data Studio, IBM Optim Development Studio, or IBM Optim Database Administration, you have the following options:

Install Data Studio full client Version 3.1 or later into a new package group:
If you choose to install Data Studio full client into a new package group, any existing products that are installed on your computer are unaffected.
Install Data Studio full client Version 3.1 or later into an existing package group:
If you choose to install Data Studio full client into an existing package group that contains any of the following products, those products are silently uninstalled before Data Studio full client Version 3.1 or later is installed:
  • IBM Data Studio Version 3.1 or earlier
  • IBM Optim Development Studio Version 2.2.x or earlier
  • IBM Optim Database Administrator Version 2.2.x or earlier
  • (For Data Studio Version 3.1.1 only) IBM Optim Query Tuner client Version 3.1 or earlier
All saved workspace information is unaffected by the silent uninstallation process.
