For IBM Rational Application Developer V6.0, IBM Rational Web Developer V6.0 and IBM Rational Software Architect V6.0

Contents

1.0 Overview

This document describes how to install IBM^® WebSphere^® Application Server V6.0 Integrated Test Environment Update (V6.0.2.5) for IBM Rational^® Application Developer, IBM Rational Web Developer or IBM Rational Software Architect by using IBM Rational Product Updater. You should use Rational Product Updater to install this update directly from the IBM update server; however, you can also download a ZIP file that contains this update and then use Rational Product Updater to perform local installations. The following sections describe how to install this update.

2.0 Installation prerequisites

To install the update directly from the IBM update server, you will require 1.3 GB of disk space. If you download, extract, and install the update from a ZIP file, you will require 2.6 GB of disk space.

Before you can install this update, you must install IBM Rational Product Updater 6.0.1. In Rational Product Updater, if you use the default update site preferences, IBM Rational Product Updater 6.0.1 is automatically installed when you search for updates or optional features. However, if you changed the default update site preferences by clicking Preferences > Update Sites, you must restore the default settings before you can install the update.

Also, before you can install this update, you must install the WebSphere Application Server V6.0 Integrated Test Environment feature for IBM Rational Application Developer, IBM Rational Web Developer or IBM Rational Software Architect.

For information on installing the WebSphere Application Server V6.0 Integrated Test Environment feature, refer to the installation instructions for your Rational product. The installation instructions are located at:

• install_dir\rad_prod\install.html for Rational Application Developer
• install_dir\rwd_prod\install.html for Rational Web Developer
• install_dir\rsa_prod\install.html for Rational Software Architect

If you disabled any product features by modifying the feature.xml files or through the Update Manager by clicking Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration, you must enable them before you install this update.

3.0 Installing the update

Install the update with the same user account that installed the product.

Restrictions:

• The product cannot be open when you install this update.
• Before installing this update, stop all WebSphere and related processes.
• If you have already manually updated the integrated test environment to version 6.0.2 or later, do not install this update; the installation will fail. To update the integrated test environment to version 6.0.2.5, do one of the following actions:
  • Manually update the test environment to V6.0.2.5. For information on manually updating the WebSphere Application Server V6.0 Integrated Test Environment, refer to http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21199423.
  • Uninstall the updates that you manually installed, and then you can install this update.
• On Windows^® operating systems, you must use an account with Administrator privileges. On Linux^® operating systems, you must log in as root.

To install the update directly from the IBM update server, complete the following steps:

1. Start Rational Product Updater:
   • On Windows operating systems, click Start > Programs > IBM Rational > Rational Product Updater.
   • On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 (GNOME desktop environment), open the main menu and click Programming > Rational Product Updater.
   • On SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.0 (K Desktop Environment), open the main menu and click IBM Rational > Rational Product Updater.

Note: On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.0, if you use a desktop environment other than the default, the product shortcuts might not appear in the default location.


2. Click Find Optional Features.


If Rational Product Updater requires an update, you are prompted to install it before you can continue. Click OK. Rational Product Updater installs the update, restarts, and retrieves a list of available updates.


3. By default, all available features are selected. Ensure that you select IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.0 Test Environment Update (V6.0.2.5).
4. Click Install Features.
5. If there is special information for any items that you have selected, a Notices dialog box opens. For example, for a very large update there may be a notice recommending that you download a ZIP file of the update and use Rational Product Updater to install the update from the ZIP file. Review the notice information and click Continue to close the dialog box and proceed.
   
   If you have selected multiple items to install, you may need to review multiple notices. Click each update listed in the top pane of the dialog box to display its notice in the lower pane. After you have reviewed all of the notices, click Continue to close the dialog box and proceed.
   
   
6. To accept the license agreement and continue the installation, click OK.


Depending on the speed of your computer processor, the amount of RAM, and the speed of your Internet connection, the update might take an extended period of time to download and install.

After the installation is complete, Rational Product Updater lists the installed updates on the Installed Products page.


7. Close Rational Product Updater.

4.0 Downloading the update for local installations

You should install the update directly from the IBM update server as described above; however, it is also available for download. You might want to download and install the update in the following situations:

• You have a slow or unstable Internet connection and want to use a download manager that can resume the download.
• You have difficulty accessing the live IBM update servers from behind a firewall.
• You prefer to download the update and install it later.

To download and install the update, complete the following steps:

1. Download the appropriate update ZIP file for your Rational product as shown in the table below. For local installations, you should download the ZIP file for either Linux or Windows only. The ZIP file for both Windows and Linux should be downloaded only if you are creating a local mirror of the IBM update server and you must support both operating systems.
