Installation Manager overview
IBM Installation
Manager is a program that helps you install the Rational Method Composer product packages
on your workstation. Installation Manager also helps you update, modify, and
uninstall packages. A package can be a product, a group of components, or
a single component.
Regardless of which installation scenario you follow to install Rational Method
Composer on your workstation, use Installation Manager to install your Rational package.
IBM Installation
Manager offers a number of time-saving features. It keeps track of what you
are about to install, software components that you have already installed,
and components that are available for you to install. It searches for updates
so you know that you are installing the latest version of a Rational product
package. Installation Manager also provides tools for managing licenses for
the product packages that it installs. It provides tools for updating and
modifying packages. You can also use it to uninstall product packages.
IBM Installation
Manager comprises six wizards that make it easy to maintain packages through
their life cycles:
- The Install Packages wizard walks you through the
installation process. You can install a product by simply accepting the defaults,
or you can modify the default settings to create a custom installation. Before
you install, you are provided with a complete summary of the selections that
you have made throughout the wizard. With the wizard you can install one or
more product packages at the same time.
- The Update Packages wizard searches for available
updates to product packages that you have installed. An update might be a
released fix, a new feature, or a new version of the Rational product. Details of the contents
of the update are provided in the wizard. You can choose whether to apply
an update.
- With the Modify Packages wizard, you can modify specific
elements of a package that you have already installed. During your initial
installation of the product package, you select the features you want to install.
If you find later that you require other features, you can use the Modify
Packages wizard to add them to your product package installation. You can
also remove features, and add or remove languages.
- The Manage Licenses wizard helps you set up the licenses
for your packages. Use this wizard to change your trial license to a full

Installation scenarios
For Rational Method
Composer 7.5, you will install from the launchpad. A trial license is automatically
installed when you install Rational Method Composer. Use the Manage license
wizard to change the trial license to a full license. See Managing licenses for
details. The trial license expires 30 days after the installation.
To start the installation from the launchpad program, use one of the following
scenarios:
- Installing from product a CD
- Installing from an electronic image on your workstation.
- Installing from an electronic image on a shared drive.
Installation repositories
IBM Installation
Manager retrieves product packages from specific repository locations.
By default, IBM Installation
Manager uses an embedded URL in each Rational software development product
to connect to a repository server that contains installation product packages
and new features. Your organization may require you to redirect the repository
connection to use your corporate Intranet site.
When you start the installation of Rational Method Composer from the launchpad
program, the location of the repository that contains the product package
is automatically defined in IBM Installation Manager.
Pre-installation tasks
You must complete the following tasks before you install Rational Method
Composer.
- Confirm that your system meets the requirements that are described in
the section Installation requirements
- Confirm that your user ID meets the required access privileges for installing
the product. See User privilege requirements
- Read the section Planning the installation.
Pre-installation checklist
Review the following information and ensure that you complete the
required pre-installation steps.
__ 1.
If you are installing from an electronic image that you downloaded
from IBM Passport
Advantage(R), verify that you have the required parts and that you have
extracted the download files correctly.
__ 2.
(For Linux) If you are going to install from physical media,
mount your CD drive.
__ 3.
(For Linux) If you want accounts other than root to use
the product installation, then set the umask variable to 0022 before you
install the product. To set this variable, log in as root user, start
a terminal session, and type umask 0022.
__ 4.
(For Linux) Increase the number of file handles on your
computer. For details, see
Increasing the number of file handles on Linux computers.
__ 5.
Make sure that you are logged on to your computer with an appropriate
user ID.
Increasing the number of file handles on Linux computers
Most Rational products
use more file handles per process. Increase the number of file handles to
more than the default value of 1024 for best product performance. A system
administrator might need to make this change.
Important:
If you do not do the following steps correctly,
your computer will not start when you reboot.
To increase the number of file handles on Linux:
- Log in as root. You must have root access to perform this procedure.
- Change to the etc directory.
Attention: If you decide to increase the number of file handles in the
next step, do not leave an empty init script file on your computer. If you
do, your computer will not start when you reboot.
- Use the vi editor to edit the initscript file in the etc directory.
If this file does not exist, type vi initscript to create
it.
- On the first line, type ulimit -n 4096. The point
is that 4096 is significantly larger than 1024, the default on most Linux computers.
Important:
Do not set the number of handles too high, because
doing so can negatively impact system-wide performance.
- On the second line, type eval exec "$4".
- Save and close the file after making sure you have completed steps
4 and 5.
- Optional: Restrict the number of handles that are available
to users or groups by modifying the limits.conf file in the etc/security directory.
Both SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server (SLES) Version 9 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 have this file by default. If
you do not have this file, then try using a smaller number in step 4 of the
previous procedure (for example, 2048) to limit the number of open files that
are allowed per process. If you set a high number in step 4 and you do not
establish limits in the limits.conf file, computer performance can be significantly
reduced.
The following sample limits.conf file restricts all
users, and then sets different limits for others afterwards. This sample assumes
that you set handles to 8192 in step 4.
* soft nofile 1024
* hard nofile 2048
root soft nofile 4096
root hard nofile 8192
user1 soft nofile 2048
user1 hard nofile 2048
Note that the * in
the preceding example sets the limits for all users first. These limits are
lower than the limits that follow it. The root user has a higher number of
allowable handles open, while number available to user1 is between the two.
Make sure that you read and understand the documentation contained in the
limits.conf file before making changes.
Mounting a drive
With some operating systems, such as Linux, you must mount the drive before
you can access data on the product disc.
Insert the product disc into the drive before mounting the drive.
For Linux:
- Log in as a user with root access.
- Insert the CD-ROM in the drive and enter the following command:mount
-t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /cdrom The /cdrom variable
represents the mount point of the CD-ROM.
- Log out.
Some window managers can automatically mount your CD-ROM for you.
Consult your system documentation for more information.
Verifying and extracting electronic images
If you download the installation files from IBMPassport Advantage,
you must extract the electronic image from the compressed files before you
can install. You might want to verify the completeness of the downloaded files
before extracting the image.
You can compare the published MD5
values with the checksum of the downloaded files to check ifmake sure that
the downloaded file is complete.
Extract each compressed file to the same directory. For Linux: Do not
include spaces in the directory names, or you will not be able to run the
launchpad.sh command to start the launchpad from a command line.

log file for the current session in a new window. You must close the Installation
Log window to continue.
- In the Install Package wizard, select whether you want Rational Method
Composer to start when you exit.
- Click Finish to launch the selected package.
The Install Package wizard closes and you are returned to the Start page of
Installation Manager.
Installing software silently
You can install the product package by running Installation Manager
in silent installation mode. When you run Installation Manager in silent mode,
the user interface is not available. Instead, Installation Manager uses a
response file to input the commands that are required to install the product
package.
Running Installation Manager in silent mode is helpful because
it enables you to use a batch process to install, update, modify and uninstall
product packages through scripts.
Note that you must install Installation
Manager before you can silently install the package. Refer to Installing IBM Installation Manager for
details on installing Installation Manager.
There are two main tasks
required for silent installation:
- Create the response file.
- Run Installation Manager in silent installation mode.
Creating a response file
You can create a response file by recording your actions as you
install a product package using IBM Installation
Manager. When you record a response file, all of the selections that you make
in the Installation Manager interface are stored in an XML file. When you
run Installation Manager in silent mode, Installation Manager uses the XML
response file to locate the repository that contains the package and select
the features to install.
To record a response file for installing (or uninstalling) packages:
- On a command line, change to the Eclipse subdirectory in the directory
where you installed Installation Manager. For example:
- For Windows: cd C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation
Manager\eclipse
- On a command line, type the following command to start Installation
Manager, substituting your own file name and location for the response file
and (optionally) the log file:
- For Windows: launcher.bat -record <response
file path and name>.xml -log <log file path and name>.xml.
For example, launcher.bat -record c:\mylog\responsefile.xml -log c:\mylog\record_log.xml
Note:
Make sure that the file paths you enter exist; Installation Manager
will not create directories for the response file and the log file.
- Follow the instructions in the Install Packages wizard to make
your installation choices. Stopping when you reach the Summary page. For details,
see Installing Rational Method Composer by using IBM Installation
Manager.
- Click Install, and then when the installation
process begins click Cancel.
- Click Finish, then close Installation Manager.
An XML response file is created and resides in the location specified
in the command.
Running Installation Manager in silent installation mode
You can run Installation Manager in silent installation mode from
a command line.
Refer to the Installation Manager online help for additional documentation
on how to run it in silent mode. (For example, silently installing from a
repository that requires authentication (user ID and password).
You
run Installation Manager in silent mode appending the -silent argument
to the Installation Manager start command launcher.exe.
- For Windows: launcher.exe -silent [arguments]
The following table describes the arguments used with the silent
installation command:
Argument |
Description |
-input |
Specifies an XML response file as the input to
Installation Manager. A response file contains commands that Installation
Manager runs. |
-log |
(Optional) Specifies a log file that records the result of the silent
installation. The log file is an XML file. |
To run Installation Manager in silent installation mode:
- On a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory
where you installed Installation Manager. For example:
- For Windows: cd C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation
Manager\eclipse
- Enter and run the following command, substituting your own locations
for the response file and, optionally, the log file:
- For Windows: launcher.exe -silent -input <response
file path and name> -log <log file path and name>. For example,
launcher.exe -silent -input c:\mylog\responsefile.xml -log c:\mylog\silent_install_log.xml
Installation Manager runs in silent installation mode; it reads the
response file and writes a log file to the directory you specified. While
you must have a response file when running in silent installation mode, log
files are optional. The result of this execution should be a status of 0 on
success and non-zero number on failure.
Silently installing updates to all currently installed products
You can silently search for and install updates for all currently
installed products.
To search for and silently install updates for all available products:
- On a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory
where you installed Installation Manager.
- Enter and run the following command, substituting your own locations
for the response file and, optionally, the log file:
- For Windows: launcher.bat -silent -updateAll
All available product updates known to Installation Manager are installed.
Response file commands
If you want to use the silent installation capabilities of Installation
Manager, you must create a response file that contains all of the commands
that Installation Manager must run. You can create a response file by recording
your actions as you install the package, but you can also create or edit a
response file manually.
There are two categories of commands for the response file:
- Preference commands are used to set preferences that are found
in Installation Manager under File -> Preferences, such as repository location information.
- Silent installation commands are used to emulate the Install Packages
wizard in Installation Manager.
Silent installation preference commands
Specify preferences in the Preferences window, or by identifying
preferences as keys in a response file for use during a silent installation.
Note:
You can specify more than one preference in a response file.
When
you define preferences in a response file, your XML code will look similar
to the following example:
<preference>
name = "the key of the preference"
value = "the value of the preference to be set"
</preferences>
Use the following table to identify keys and their
associated values for silent installation preferences:
Key |
Value |
Notes |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.logLocation |
Specifies the location of Installation Manager log file. |
Important: This key is optional and is designed for testing
and debugging. If you do not specify a location for the log file, both silent
installation and the GUI version of Installation Manager will use the same
location. |
com.ibm.cic.license.policy.location |
Specifies a URL that defines where the remote license policy file
resides. |
|
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.http.proxyEnabled |
True or False |
False is the default value. |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.http.proxyHost |
Host name or IP address |
|
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.http.proxyPort |
Port number |
|
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.http.proxyUseSocks |
True or False |

Silent installation commands
Use this reference table to learn more about response file commands
that you can run during a silent installation.
Response file commands |
Description |
Profile
<profile
id="the profile (package group) id"
installLocation="the install location of
the profile">
<data key="key1" value="value1"/>
<data key="key2" value="value2"/>
</profile> |
Use this command to create a package group (or installation location).
If the specified package group already exists, then the command has no effect. When
you create the profile, the silent installation will also create two installation
contexts; one for Eclipse and one for native.
A profile is an installation location.
You can use the <data> element
for setting profile properties.
The following list contains the keys that
are currently supported keys and related values:
- The eclipseLocation key specifies an existing Eclipse
location value, such as c:\myeclipse\eclipse.
- The cic.selector.nl key specifies the Natural Language
(NL) locale selections, such as zh, ja,
and en.
Note:
Separate multiple NL values with commas.
The following
list contains the currently supported language codes:
- English (en)

|
Repositories
<server>
<repository location="http://example/
repository/">
<repository location="file:/C:/
repository/">
<!--add more repositories below-->
<...>
</server> |
Use this command to specify the repositories that are
used during a silent installation. Use a URL or UNC path to specify remote
repositories; use directory paths to specify local repositories. |
Install
<install>
<offering profile= "profile id"
features= "feature ids"
id= "offering id" version= "offering
version"></offering>
<!--add more offerings below>
<...>
</install> |
Use this command to specify the installation packages that will be
installed.
The profile ID must match an existing profile or a profile created
by the set profile command.
Feature IDs can be optionally specified
by a comma-delimited list, such as "feature1, feature2" and so on. If no feature
IDs are specified, all the default features in the specified offering will
be installed.
Note:
Required features will be included for installation,
even if they are not explicitly specified in the comma-delimited list. |
<install modify="true"> or <uninstall
modify="true"> (optional attribute)
<uninstall modify="true">
<offering profile="profileID"
id="Id" version="Version"
features="-"/>
</uninstall> |
Use the <install modify="true"> attribute
on install and uninstall commands to indicate that you want to modify an existing
install. If the attribute is not set to true, the value
defaults to false. If the intent of the modify operation
is only to install additional language packs, then a hyphen "-" should be
used in the offering feature id list to indicate no new features are being
added.
Important:
You must specify "modify=true" and
a hyphen "-" feature list as specified in the example;
otherwise, the install command will install the offering's default features
and the uninstall command will remove all the features. |
Uninstall
<uninstall>
<offering profile= "profile id"
features= "feature ids"
id= "offering id" version= "offering
version"></offering>
<!--add more offerings below>
<...>
</uninstall> |
Use this command to specify the packages that will be uninstalled.
The
profile ID must match an existing profile or a profile specified in a profile
command. Further, if there are no feature IDs specified, all the features
in the specified offering will be uninstalled; if there are no offering IDs
specified, all the installed offerings in the specified profile will be uninstalled. |
Rollback
<rollback>
<offering profile= "profile id"
id= "offering id"
version= "offering version">
</offering>
<!--add more offerings below
<...>
</rollback> |
Use this command to roll back to the specified offerings from the
version currently installed on the specified profile. You cannot specify
features in a roll back command. |
InstallAll
<installALL/>
Note:
This
command is equivalent to using
-silent -installAll . |
Use this command to silently search for and install all available
packages. |
UpdateAll
<updateALL/>
Note:
This
command is equivalent to using
-silent -updateAll . |
Use this command to silently search for and update all available
packages. |
License
<license policyFile="policy file
location"/>
For example:
<license policyFile="c:\mylicense.opt"/> |
Use this command to generate a response file containing a license
command by starting the license wizard after starting Installation Manager
in record mode.
During record mode, if you set flex options through the
license management wizard, the options you set will be recorded in a license
policy file named "license.opt" in the same directory as the generated response
file; the response file will contain a license command that references the
policy file. |
Wizard
<launcher -mode wizard -input
< response file > |
Use this command to start Installation Manager in UI mode. The UI
mode starts Installation Manager in either the install wizard or the uninstall
wizard. However, in this case, the response file can only contain preference
commands and install commands or preference command and uninstall commands;
you can not mix install and uninstall commands in the same response file when
you run Installation Manager in UI mode. |
Reference: Sample response file
You can use an XML-based response file to specify predefined information
such as silent installation preferences, repository locations, installation
profiles, and so on. Response files are beneficial for teams and organizations
that want to install installation packages silently and to standardize the
locations and preferences for installation packages.
Sample response file |
<agent-input >
<!-- add preferences -->
<preference name="com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences. http.proxyEnabled"
value="c:/temp"/>
<!-- create the profile if it doesn't exist yet -->
<profile id="my_profile" installLocation="c:/temp/my_profile"></profile>
<server>
<repository location=
"http://a.site.com/local/products/sample/20060615_1542/repository/"></repository>
/server>
<install>
<offering profile= "my_profile" features= "core" id= "ies"
version= "3.2.0.20060615">
</offering>
/install>
</agent-input> |
Silent install log files
You can use silent install log files to examine the results of
a silent installation session.
The silent installation functionality creates an XML-based log
file that records the result of the silent installation execution (as long
as a log file path is specified using -log <your
log file path>.xml). If your silent installation session
is successful, the log file will contain just the root element of <result> </result>;
however, if errors occur during the installation, the silent install log file
will contain error elements with messages such as:
<result>
<error> Cannot find profile: profile id</error>
<error> some other errors</error>
</result> |
For detailed analysis, you can look at the logs generated in
the Installation Manager data area.
By using a preference command, you can optionally set the data area to your
preferred location, as shown in the response file topic.
Managing IBM Installation Manager - Additional information
Setting repository preferences in Installation Manager
When you start the installation of Rational Method Composer from the launchpad
program, the location of the repository that contains the product package
is automatically defined in IBM Installation Manager. If you start Installation Manager
directly (For example, by installing Rational Method Composer from a repository
located on a Web server) then you must specify the repository preference before
you begin your product package installation. The repository preference is
the URL for the directory that contains the product package in Installation
Manager. You can set these repository locations on the Repositories page
in the Preferences window.
Note:
Before starting the installation process, be sure to obtain
the installation package repository URL from your administrator.
To add, edit, or remove a repository location in Installation Manager:
- Start Installation Manager.
- On the Start page of Installation Manager, click File -> Preferences,
and then click Repositories. The Repositories
page opens, showing any available repositories, their locations, and whether
they are accessible.
- On the Repositories page, click Add
Repository.
- In the Add repository window, type the URL
of the repository location or browse to it and set a file path.
- Click OK. If you provided an HTTPS repository
location, then you are prompted to enter a user ID and password. The
new or changed repository location is listed. If the repository is not connected,
a red x is displayed in the Connection column.

Manager.
Internet access is required unless your repository preferences points
to a local update site.
Each installed package has the location embedded
for its default IBM update
repository. For Installation Manager to search the IBM update repository locations for the
installed packages, the preference Search service repositories
during installation and updates on the Repositories preference
page must be selected. This preference is selected by default.
See the
Installation Manager help for more information.
Important:
- Close all programs that were installed using Installation Manager before
updating.
- During the update process, Installation Manager might prompt you for the
location of the repository for the base version of the package. If you installed

contains new features that you would like to install, run the Modify wizard
and select the new features to install from the feature selection panel.
Reverting updates to previous versions
You can remove an update to a product package to revert to a previous
version by using the Roll Back Packages wizard of IBM Installation Manager.
During the rollback process, Installation Manager must access files
from the earlier version of the package. By default, these files are stored
on your computer when you upgrade to a new package. If you have deleted the
files that are saved locally for rollback or cleared the Save files
for rollback check box in the Preferences page (File
> Preferences > Files for Rollback) while upgrading, you will
not be able to roll back to the previous version without the media or repositories
that were used to install that version of the package.
Use the rollback feature if you have applied an update to a product
package and decide later that you want to remove the update and revert to
the earlier version of the product. When you use the rollback feature, Installation
Manager uninstalls the updated resources and reinstalls the resources from
the previous version. You can only roll back one version level at a time.
For
more information, see the Installation Manager online help or Information
Center.
To revert an update to a previous version, complete the following
steps:
- Start IBM Installation Manager.
