Before you can install this interim fix, you must install:

1. Rational Systems Developer Fix Pack 6.0.1.1

Installation instructions for Rational Systems Developer Fix Pack 6.0.1.1 are available at www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/rsd/60/install_instruction/6011/install.html.

If you are installing from the IBM update server or from your local update site with both Interim Fix 001 and 002 installation files on it, IBM RSD Product Updater will automatically select and install Interim Fix 001 along with Interim Fix 002.

3. Latest versions of interim features. If you have interim features installed, you must install the latest versions. Failure to do so will result in errors that will block the update from being installed. If you want to install from a local update site, ensure to download the latest versions to your site.

To determine the versions of the installed product and interim features:

1. Start IBM RSD Product Updater:
   • On Windows operating systems, click Start > Programs > IBM Rational Systems Developer V6.0.1 > IBM RSD Product Updater.
   • On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 (GNOME desktop environment), open the main menu and click Programming > IBM RSD Product Updater.
   • On SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.0 (K Desktop Environment), open the main menu and click IBM Rational Systems Developer V6.0.1 > IBM RSD Product Updater.
2. Click the Installed Products tab.

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 interim fix.

3.0 Installing the interim fix

• On Windows operating systems, you must use an account with Administrator privileges. On Linux operating systems, you must log in as root.
• When you install the Rational XDE model import (XMI) iFeature 6.0.1.5, IBM RSD Product Updater (RPU) will automatically select Rational Systems Developer Version 6.0.1.1 iFix002. If you roll back iFix002, the RPU will automatically select the XMI iFeature for roll back. If you have a previous version of the iFeature installed and you roll it back to the previous version, you must also roll back iFix002 to iFix001. If you do not have an earlier version of the iFeature installed you can leave iFix002 on your system after you roll back the iFeature.
