Considerations about Rational Programming Patterns
When you install Rational® Programming Patterns, you must indicate a package group for all the products of the client part and another package group for all the products of the server part.
You must install Rational Programming Patterns V9.6.1 by completing a full installation. You cannot install it by updating a previous version.
To complete a full installation of the new version, you must choose one of the following methods:
- Uninstall and reinstall the products in the same package groups.
- Keep the package groups that contain the previous versions of the products and create package groups to install the new versions of the products. Start working in the new installation. If everything works fine, you can remove the old installation. This method is recommended.
If your current Installation Manager version is too old to install Rational Programming Patterns and its required products, it will be automatically updated when you install one of the products from a launchpad.
The client
part requires the installation of the following products in the same
package group:
- IBM® Developer for z Systems™ (Rational Developer for z Systems) for a System z® environment,
- Rational Developer for AIX® and Linux for a System p environment,
- Rational Team Concert™,
- Rational Programming Patterns client,
- Rational Software Architect if you want to work on Batch Flow Charts and Screen Navigation Charts that come from the PacDesgin module of VisualAge® Pacbase.
The server part requires the installation of the following
products:
- For a Windows, AIX, Linux, or Linux for System z environment, install Jazz™ Team Server and Rational Programming Patterns server in a server package group.
- For a z/OS® environment, install Jazz Team Server and install the Rational Programming Patterns FMID.Note: You can optionally use the functions of the IBM Developer for z Systems (Rational Developer for z Systems) server. You must then install the Rational Developer for System z server with the SMP/E tool before you install Jazz Team Server in the same package group.
