About this Rational Service
Release
This Rational service release
includes important product fixes, and may include new features. It is developed
for a specific product-version and does not affect the licensing of your
products. Since there is no effect on licensing, the service release does not
allow you to configure licensing while you apply it to the software. You will,
however, be asked to accept the service release license agreement before
installing.
This service release
allows you to update selected IBM Rational components on your system. You do not
have to find and select product-specific service releases. Because a service release is cumulative, you can apply the latest
service release without applying earlier service releases. After you apply a
service release, you may see new shortcuts or files. The service release updates
the Rational product’s version number from, for example, 2003.06.00 to
2003.06.12.
You can see the change in the "About
<Rational Product> " dialog
box accessed from the product’s Help menu, or in the "Rational Installed
Product Information" dialog box, accessed from the Start menu.

Rational Software Service Release Requirements
The following general requirements are necessary to run the Rational Software
Service Release on your system.
- To download software from the IBM Rational Support Web site, you will need
to register for a "userid" and password.
- Ensure that all Rational products on your system are upgraded to the same
version, otherwise, you cannot apply the service release.
- Make sure you have administrator privileges before you update your
Rational products.
To use the Rational Software Setup program on a
Windows NT, 2000, or XP system, you must have Windows administrator privileges
on the local system. Log in as one of the following users:
- Local administrator
- Member of the local administrator’s group (example: domain
administrator)
- Backup your Registry and system directories.
- Disable all virus protection software. These programs often run in the
background and interfere with the installation and file decompression process.
- Make sure you have the original v2003.06 install area available (either
the CD, or the network share).
We also recommend that you:
- Disable any user interface managers or desktop environments that run on
top of Microsoft Windows.
- Change to a standard VGA video driver while the setup program is running,
or disable video features such as virtual screens or screen switching.
- Change to a standard mouse driver, or disable special mouse features that
perform tasks such as leaving pointer trails or changing pointer sizes.
Finally:
- Ensure that your computer meets the system requirements as described in
the Rational
Suite Release Notes.
Tip: Ensuring that a greater amount of memory is available may result
in a shorter install time.
- After you install a Rational product, you must restart your system before
applying this service release. Do not apply this service release until
you have restarted your system after installing a Rational product.
Supported Configurations
You
can apply this Rational service release to the following Rational product
configurations:
Unsupported Configurations
You
cannot apply this Rational service release to:
- A
Rational product-version for which it was not intended.
- Only
one Rational product if you have multiple Rational products on one computer.
- Multiple
versions of Rational Software (but no service releases) on the same system.
- A
computer that has had a more current service release applied to it. That is,
applying an earlier service release to a later service release is not
supported.
Note: If there are Rational product versions on your system that are prior to
v2003.06.00 or v2003.06.10, remove these before applying this release.
Installing an Additional Product to an Updated System
When you
install any Rational product to a system that already has had a service release
applied to it, the setup program warns you that the products on your system are
updated. Continue with the installation and then re-apply the service release to
update the additional product.
Before you can apply a service release, you must determine that the version of Rational products installed on your system is
in accordance with the guidelines noted in the Upgrade
Path section of this document. To
do this:
- Select Start > Programs > Rational Software > Rational
Software Installed Product Information.
-
Ensure that, for each Rational product listed, the Build ID (version
number) is in accordance with the guidelines listed here, or remove or
upgrade as follows:
- Remove the product altogether: Select it, then click
Add/Remove. Use the Windows Add/Remove Programs feature to
remove the Rational product.
- Upgrade the product to one of these versions: For details on upgrading,
refer
to the Rational Suite Upgrade Guide on the Rational Solutions for Windows
Online Documentation CD-Rom, or at http://www.ibm.com/software/rational/support/documentation/
- Note: ClearCase users with version number 2003.06.00.502.001 can
safely install this service release environment.
- Continue
with the service release installation.
Note: Once a service release is applied, you cannot
uninstall the updates
it makes. To revert to your previous Rational product
configuration:
- Uninstall all Rational products for which the service release was applied.
- Install your preferred Rational product version again.
Using the Rational Software Setup Program
Access the service release
from http://www.ibm.com/software/rational/support/upgrades/. We
recommend that you download the file by saving it to your hard disk instead of
opening it directly from the Web site.
This Rational service release includes:
(content here depends on whether
these release notes will account for all 3 releases (full CC, Solutions, &
various XDE "flavors.") - Joe Quigley is investigating details. Alan
Bell states "Will not be single file unless they get the download which is
either a ZIP(.zip) or Executable ZIP(.exe). And there will be different names
depending on the product they download."

Installing or Upgrading to v2003.06.12 on a Japanese Operating System
If your operating system is Japanese and you are upgrading to v2003.06.12:
| From |
This service release will
install |
| v2003.06.00 (English
version, English user interface, non- Japanese user interface) |
v2003.06.12
with an English user interface
|
v2003.06.10 (Japanese
version, Japanese user interface, non-English user interface)
|
v2003.06.12
with a Japanese user interface
Note:
If you have v2003.06.10 currently installed, you must
uninstall that product before installing this release.
|
| v2003.06.01 (English version
only, English user interface, non-Japanese user interface) |
v2003.06.12
with an English user interface
|
| Note:
You can install and use the English version of Rational products on
a Japanese operating system if the Rational product was not localized to
Japanese. |
If you want to keep a record of all installation activities for this service
release, you should create a log file. If you are
updating an earlier release, you should rename the previous log of installation
activities before you install this service release. Otherwise, this service
release will overwrite the previous one.
For information on how to do this, refer to the Installation Guide for Rational
Server Products.
XDE License Management and Enforcement
If you previously installed the XDE Floating
License Enablement Kit, please ignore this section. License enablement of your
XDE products is unaffected by this service release.
This Service Release enables you to manage any v2003.06 IBM Rational XDE
product's use of floating license keys. On those XDE installations where license
management is to be enabled, first install the Service Release and then run the
command "<rational_directory>\common\SetXDEFloating.exe".
After running SetXDEFloating.exe, a floating license key will be required in order to
use XDE.
After you configure XDE to use license keys, run the Rational License Key
Administrator and point the client machine at your Rational License Server (if
you have not done so already). If you do not have the license server software,
you can install it from the Rational Solutions for Windows CD-Rom or
download it from https://www6.software.ibm.com/reg/rational/rational-i.
Refer to the IBM Rational License Management Guide on the Rational Solutions for
Windows Online Documentation CD-Rom for
instructions on installing and operating the Rational License Server.
Passport Advantage customers can obtain XDE license keys by referring to the
"Proof of Entitlement" certificate that IBM sent you with your XDE
product purchase. If you are not a Passport Advantage customer, you can obtain
your XDE license keys from your local IBM Rational Sales Representative or from
Customer Service.
When license enforcement has been activated, XDE behaves as follows:
- A valid XDE license is required throughout the duration of any XDE
session, which is initiated when a model is opened and terminated when all
models are closed.
- When the session begins, an attempt is made to check out a license key
from the license server. If a license is available, XDE checks out the key
for the duration of your session. If no XDE license keys are available on
the server, a warning message appears informing you that you do not have a
valid key, but XDE will continue to operate. You will continue to see this
message while using XDE until a valid license key is acquired.
Make
sure that you have read the Getting
Started and Installation
Information before:
-
Upgrading
or installing as follows:
- Directly
to a desktop client or server from a CD.
- Using
a release area.
Note: If the original Rational product was installed from a CD
image (directly to a desktop or client server), the upgrade must also be done
using a CD. If the original Rational product was installed using a release area, the
upgrade must also be done using this release area.
- Upgrading from
v2003.06.10 (Japanese version)
- Removing
a service release.
- Canceling
installation of a service release.
Note: If you are upgrading from v2003.06.10 (Japanese version), you
must first follow the instructions at "Upgrading
from v2003.06.10 (Japanese version)" before proceeding with the series
of steps below.
- When the "Welcome to the Setup Wizard" opens, click Next.
- In the "Select Product" dialog box, select the product you want
to update, then click Next.
- Choose "Desktop installation
from CD image" as your deployment method, then click Next. (See
below for instructions to apply this release using a release area.)
- When you see "Welcome to the Patch for <IBM Rational
Product>," click Update.
- In the "Product Warnings" dialog box click Next.
- Click
Install.
- At the end of the installation, the "Setup Complete" dialog box
displays. If the Wizard requires a restart, click
Yes to restart your
computer now and complete the installation. Or, click
No and restart
your computer later, then click
Finish.
- Make sure all Rational products on your computer were updated to version is v2003.06.12 (click here
for instructions on accessing version information).
Note: The updated version number will appear for all Rational
products, regardless of whether or not a product change was applied to them in
this service release.
You must recreate
the release area if you want to apply this service release to the Rational
products in
your environment. Administrators should recreate the release area as if users will
be installing the
products on their desktops for the first time. This new release area will
be used to:
- Update Rational desktop products (as
described in the Upgrade Path table).
- Install Rational desktop products.
After creating this new release area, we
recommend that the Administrator disable the "old" release area. This
will help prevent access to the previous version of Rational products and still
allow access if ever the need to restore a system to the previous version of
Rational products were to arise.
For instructions on creating a release area,
see the Installation Guide for Rational Server Products
on the Rational
Solutions for Windows Online Documentation CD-Rom, or
online.
Upgrading from a Release Area
For instructions on installing/upgrading
from a release area,
see the Installation Guide for Rational Server Products
on the Rational
Solutions for Windows Online Documentation CD-Rom, or
online.
Note: If you are upgrading from a release
area, some of the dialogs may indicate an upgrade instead of a new installation.
At the end of the installation,
the "Setup Complete" dialog box displays. If the Wizard requires a restart,
click Yes
to restart your computer now and complete the installation. Or, click
No
and restart your computer later, then click
Finish. Make sure all Rational products on your computer were updated to version is v2003.06.12 (click here
for instructions on accessing version information).
Note:
The updated version number will appear for all Rational products, regardless of
whether or not a product change was applied to them in this service release.
Installing/Upgrading from a Release Area using a Silent Install
For more information, see
the silent installation instructions in the
Installation Guide for Rational Server Products
on the Rational
Solutions for Windows Online Documentation CD-Rom, or
online.
Before upgrading from v2003.06.10 (Japanese
version), you should first read
the
following sections in the Rational Suite Upgrade Guide: "Removing
Rational Products" and "Upgrading Desktop Systems." Then proceed
with the upgrade as follows:
- Back-up your data.
- Uninstall all v2003.06.10 Rational
Suite products.
- Restart your system.
- Install
v2003.06.12 of your preferred Rational product.
- Import your saved data. To
do this, refer
to the Rational Suite Upgrade Guide (look for "Upgrading Desktop
Systems").
Alan
Bell: Is there any info. in the Upgrade Guide or other doc that is not
applicable, or wrong, as it relates to this scenario? (This came up at CCB from
Fred Vaughn & Cathy Col on Jan 12). Alan
Bell doesn't think so, but he is investigating who should be doing this testing
to verify.
Once a service release is applied, you cannot uninstall the
updates
it makes from your computer. To revert to your previous Rational
product configuration:
- Uninstall all Rational products for which the service release was applied.
- Install your preferred Rational product version again.
To cancel the installation, click Cancel at anytime during installation
or before the installation completes. You will not see any visible changes to
the system. The program returns your system to the state it was in before you
started the installation. See the Rational
Suite Upgrade Guide
for more information.
Once you install a Rational service release:
- Detailed information about Version 2003.06.00 is available here.
- For detailed, product-specific information included in this service release,
read the service release Release Notes:

RATLC00243823 |
The following scenario describes the expected results after installation
of the service release to a system wherein the user is incrementally
installing Rational products and this service release:
- When a user installs a Rational product (A), and then installs the
service release, it is applied to the product.
- If (on the same system) a user installs another Rational product
(B), and installs the service release again, it is reapplied to the
first product, and applied to the second product.
- If (on the same system) a user installs another Rational product
(C), and installs the service release again, it should be reapplied to
all the products
Exception:
- When the order of applying the service release is "A" then
"C" then "B,"
- And if applying the service release to "C" requires
that the user restarts their system,
- And the product is not ClearCase, ClearCaseLT, or any Rational Suite
containing ClearCaseLT .
In this case, the service release is applied to product "A"
and "C" and since "B" is already at the desired
version, the user restarts their system and the service release is not
applied to product "B."

| Install |
RATLC00702104 |
After installing one or more Rational products, stray "msiexec"
processes linger in memory. Users must restart their systems before
applying the service release, even if product installation does not
require this.

RATLC00698818 |
Corrects
a defect that causes the About box to not display the version of the
product if multiple products are installed and the version of one of them
does not match the others. For example, if different versions of
Rational products exist on a user's system and the user selects Help
> About ... , UNKNOWN is displayed in the Version field,
rather than a version number. The service release fixes this issue so that
a version number is displayed, even if the user does not have the same
version of different Rational products on their machine.

An error message appears when doing Rose Data Modeler Site Preparation.
Workaround: If you are creating an enterprise deployment (release area), and the "Launch installation using these settings" checkbox
is checked, some
Windows 2000 users may see the product installation start before the release area has been
created, wherein, the product installation task didn't wait for the release area task to finish.
If this happens, cancel the installation, then run these two tasks
separately:
- Run the installer to do an enterprise deployment and create a release area.
Clear the "launch" checkbox. Let the process run to completion.
- Once
the release area is created successfully, do a SitePrep install from
that release area.

In general, Rational does not recommend using workstation versions of
Windows operating systems for VOB or view servers because they limit the
number of simultaneous connections.
To help clarify content about Web servers in the Server Requirements and Recommendations
table, we add that: Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 Professional, and Windows NT Workstation do not support the Web servers associated with RequisitePro, ClearCase
LT Web and ClearQuest Web. These operating systems can be used as a VOB server for ClearCase and a database server for
ClearQuest, SQLAnywhere, or Microsoft Access database for a few users. A server operating system is recommended.

The following text for upgrading CC LT should be
included in the Installation Guide for
Rational Server Products and/or Desktop Products for upgrading from a
previous release:
Upgrading From a Previous Release of ClearCase LT If you are
upgrading ClearCase LT at your site:
Upgrade the Clearcase LT server first, and then upgrade the clients.
In most cases, a client running an older revision of ClearCase LT
software can access a server running a newer revision. A client running
a newer revision of ClearCase LT software may not be able to access a
server running an older revision, or may only be able to access a
limited set of server capabilities.
Upgrading the Clearcase LT server does not affect VOB or view data.
VOBs and views are inaccessible during the upgrade process, but
checked-out files and directories may remain checked out during the
upgrade.
If you are upgrading an existing ClearCase LT server, the Server
Setup Wizard is not needed and does not run.

Guide, related to upgrading ProjectConsole: Under "Restoring Saved Files from Backup," the text instructs you to restore the files you backed up from
c:\program files\rational\jakarta-tomcat\webapps\projectconsole to the same directory. Instead, restore the files to
c:\program files\rational\common\rwp\webapps\projectconsole
For instructions related to upgrades, please refer to the Rational Suite Upgrade
Guide, available on the Rational Solutions for Windows Online Documentation
CD. |

Allows ClearQuest clients (Windows) to run Oracle 9i client
and server using OpenLink drivers. |
| ProjectConsole Installation |
RATLC00450993 |
When
installing Rational Suite to a network release area, the ProjectConsole
Web server components should not be selected. If they are, every user who
installs from that release area will get the ProjectConsole Web server
components (and Rational Web Platform) software loaded and running on
their computers.
In
addition, when applying a service release to a 2003.06.00 Rational Suite
release, you may receive one or more "Source File Not Found"
warnings about files in the ...\Classics\Projects\... folder. These
warnings can safely be ignored, as they are only used by the
ProjectConsole Web server components when accessing the ProjectConsole
sample site.

Install the Test Agents for Windows as you would
install any other desktop for Windows product. Use the instructions
starting on page 65 of the Installation Guide
for Rational Server Products for Windows. Then refer to page 97 of the
same manual for post-installation procedures as well as instructions for
installing and configuring UNIX Test Agents.

The following instructions should be included in
the Installation Guide
for Rational Server Products and/or for Rational Desktop Products for
Windows:
Using the Post Installation Command
POST_INSTALL_CMD is used to run a process or executable, such as
“winword.exe” or “cscript.exe.” When you set this property, the
command is executed after the installation completes. To include
arguments with the command, use POST_INSTALL_CMD_ARGS in addition to
POST_INSTALL_CMD.
Before you follow the instructions in the next two
sections, read these requirements:
- Enter an arguments file in the POST_INSTALL_CMD_ARGS
property.
- If
an arguments file is in an
IBM Rational directory subfolder, include the path to the file.
Running post_install_cmd from the command line
To specify a command from the command line, use setup.exe’s “/V”
command.
Example:
setup.exe /V”POST_INSTALL_CMD=<notepad.exe>
POST_INSTALL_CMD_ARGS=<myfile.txt>
Running the command by modifying the site defaults file
To specify a command from a .dat file, add or modify properties in the
Properties section of the file.
If there is no Properties
section, add a section to the file.
Example:
…
…
[Properties]
POST_INSTALL_CMD=<notepad.exe>
POST_INSTALL_CMD_ARGS=<myfile.txt>
…
…

When you install Rational Suite Enterprise with
the Shipping Server option (from the CD), the Shipping Server installation
fails. The following are options to
work-around this issue:
Note: These options are only needed after installing
ClearQuest + Shipping Server from the CD. Users need to verify that ClearCase is not installed on the machine.
(If ClearCase is installed, applying a work-around is not needed and work-around #3
will cause serious ClearCase issues).
Work-around #1: Install only from Suite Enterprise deployment areas.
Work-around #2: If a system will be installed using a CD and if the system will be used to run both ClearCase and ClearQuest
+ Shipping Server, users should install ClearCase first, then install ClearQuest +
Shipping Server.
Work-around #3: If ClearCase is not installed on the system and the user installs ClearQuest +
Shipping Server from the CD, after the install completes proceed as
follows:
1) Verify that the Shipping Server will not work:
>shipping_server -ver
noname: Warning: Can not find a group named "clearcase".
shipping_server 2003.06.00 (<date and time>)
2) Apply the CQ_SS.reg file (contact IBM
Rational Software Support), verify the shipping server works:
>shipping_server -ver
shipping_server 2003.06.00 (<date and time>)
