Rational Developer for System z

Rational Developer for System z v8.0.1 push-to-client does not work with Installation Manager v1.4.3 or later

If you are using Installation Manager v1.4.3 or later, the Rational® Developer for System z® push-to-client feature cannot be used to update from Rational Developer for System z v8.0.1 to any other level.

Cause

Installation Manager v1.4.3 or later has changed how users indicate acceptance of the software license terms and conditions from an attribute in the user-provided response.xml file to a parameter passed to Installation Manager when it is started.

Solution

Rational Developer for System z v8.0.2 or later includes an update that synchronizes the Developer for System z invocation of Installation Manager with this change. After Developer for System z v8.0.2 or later is installed, you can install future updates using the push-to-client feature with Installation Manager v1.4.3 or later. You can use the push-to-client feature to update Rational Developer for System z to v8.0.2 or later if you are still using Installation Manager v1.4.2.

Workaround

Update Rational Developer for System z to v8.0.2 or later before updating Installation Manager to v1.4.3 or later. If you have already updated to Installation Manager v1.4.3 or later, manually install Rational Developer for System z v8.0.2 or later without using the push-to-client feature.
