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

the following steps:
- 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

If Rational Product Updater requires an update, you are prompted to
install it before you can continue. Click OK. Rational Product Updater

Java SDK Update for IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.0.2.5 Integrated Test
Environment.

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.

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:
- 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.
- Extract the update to a temporary directory, such as C:\temp.
- For installation instructions, navigate to:
- C:\temp\rad\ for Rational Application Developer
- C:\temp\rwd\ for Rational Web Developer
- C:\temp\rsa\ for Rational Software Architect
and open install_local_WAS6025_SDK_update.html.
