Introduction
The installation instructions guide you in installing, updating, and uninstalling Rational® Programming Patterns V9.6.
Rational Programming Patterns is a set of development tools that are built on the Eclipse platform (www.eclipse.org). You can think of the Eclipse platform as the framework and Rational Programming Patterns and other bundled offerings as the tool contributors.
Rational Programming Patterns is installed on the IBM® Rational Software Delivery Platform. This platform is a common development environment that contains the development workbench and other software components that are shared by multiple products.
- The migration procedures.
- An Eclipse client that is integrated with different products, depending on your environment:
IBM Developer for z Systems™ (Rational Developer for z Systems) or Rational
Developer for AIX® and Linux.
The client is also always integrated with Rational Team Concert™.
If you want to work on Batch Flow Charts and Screen Navigation Charts that come from the PacDesgin module of VisualAge® Pacbase, you must also install Rational Software Architect in the client.
- A web client that is integrated into the Rational Team Concert graphic web interface. It is available as a chargeable component. It can be used to analyze the applications on the server without updating them. It does not require any specific installation because the plugins that are used for its operation are included in the installation package of the Rational Programming Patterns server. Therefore, the installation instructions of the Rational Programming Patterns Eclipse client do not apply to the web client. The Rational Programming Patterns instances that are contained in a Rational Team Concert project area can be viewed from the Rational Programming Patterns web client with appropriate licenses only. Refer to Specific licenses for the Rational Programming Patterns web client.
- A server that is integrated with Jazz™ Team Server.
You can install Rational Programming Patterns V9.6 by updating version V9.5.1 or one of its fixpacks.
You can also complete a full installation of the new version.
