Rational Developer for System z, Version 8.0

Installing the Rational Developer for System z and Rational Team Concert clients

You must install the Rational® Developer for System z® and Rational Team Concert™ clients, since the RPPz plug-ins will be installed on top of them.

  1. Install Rational Developer for System z 8.0 beta 3. During this step, you must also install IBM® Installation Manager 1.4.1.
    • If you have never installed IBM Installation Manager:

      This software is automatically installed before Rational Developer for System z.

    • If you have an old version of IBM Installation Manager:

      In the Install packages page of IBM Installation Manager, an error message at the bottom of the page informs you that the Rational Developer for System z V8.0 beta 3 package is not compatible with the IBM Installation Manager version currently executed. Nevertheless, select the box located in front of Rational Developer for System z V8.0 beta 3. An update of IBM Installation Manager is then automatically proposed. Accept it. The new version of IBM Installation Manager is then installed, before Rational Developer for System z V8.0 beta 3.
