IBM Installation Manager

The installation scenario you follow to install Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET client or , 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 Installation Manager to uninstall product packages.

IBM Installation Manager comprises six wizards that make it easy to maintain your product packages through their lifecycles:

• The Install Packages wizard walks you through the installation process. You can install a product package by simply accepting the defaults, or you can modify the default settings to create a custom installation. Before you install a product package, 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 to set up the licenses for your packages. Use this wizard to change your trial license to a full license, to set up your servers for floating licenses, and to select which type of license to use for each package.
• With the Rollback Packages wizard you can revert to a previously installed version of an eligible package.
• The Uninstall Packages wizard helps you to remove a product package from your computer. You can uninstall more than one package at a time.

Planning to install

Installation scenarios

The following are some of the factors that might determine your installation scenario:

• The location for your installation (for example, you can install the product onto your own workstation, or make the installation files available to your enterprise}.
• The type of installation (for example, you can use the Installation Manager GUI, or install silently).

These are the typical installation scenarios you might follow:

• Installing from the CDs.
• Installing from a downloaded electronic image on your workstation.
• Installing from an electronic image on a shared drive.

Note that in the latter three scenarios you can choose to run the Installation Manager program in silent mode to install Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET. For details on running Installation Manager in silent mode, see Installing silently.

Note also that you can install updates at the same time that you install the base product package.

Installing from CDs

In this installation scenario, you have the CDs that contain the product package files, and typically you are installing Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET on your own workstation. Refer to Installing Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET from CDs: task overview for an overview of the steps.

Installing from a downloaded electronic image on your workstation

In this scenario, you have downloaded the installation files from IBM Passport Advantage^(R) and you will install Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET on your own workstation. Refer to Installing Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET from an electronic image on your workstation: task overview for an overview of the steps.

Installing from an electronic image on a shared drive

In this scenario, you will place the electronic image on a shared drive so that users in your enterprise can access the installation files for Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET from a single location. Refer to Installing Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET from an electronic image on a shared drive: task overview for an overview of the steps.

Upgrade and coexistence considerations

Offering coexistence considerations

Some products are designed to coexist and share function when they are installed in the same package group. A package group is a location where you can install one or more software products or packages. When you install each package, you select whether you want to install the package to an existing package group, or whether you want to create a new one. IBM Installation Manager will block products that are not designed to share or do not meet version tolerance and other requirements. If you want to install more than one product at a time, the products must be able to share a package group.

At the time of release, the following products will share function when installed to a package group:

• Rational Application Developer
• Rational Software Architect
• Rational Functional Tester
• Rational Performance Tester
• Rational Software Modeler
• Rational Systems Developer
• Rational Tester for SOA Quality

Any number of eligible products can be installed to a package group. When a product is installed, its function is shared with all of the other products in the package group. If you install a development product and a testing product into one package group, when you start either of the products, you have both the development and testing functionality available to you in your user interface. If you add a product with modeling tools, all of the products in the package group will have the development, testing, and modeling functionality available.

If you install a development product and later purchase a development product with increased functionality and add that product to the same package group, the additional function will be available in both products. If you uninstall the product with the greater functionality, the original product remains. Note that this is a change from the "upgrade" behavior of version 6 products in the Rational Software Development Platform group.

Installation repositories

If the launchpad is used to start Installation Manager, the repository information is passed to Installation Manager. If the Installation Manager is started directly, you must specify an installation repository that contains the product packages that you want to install. See Setting repository preferences in Installation Manager.

Some organizations bundle and host their own product packages on their intranet. For information about this type of installation scenario, see Installation scenarios. Your system administrators will need to provide you with the correct URL.

By default, IBM Installation Manager uses an embedded URL in each Rational software development product to connect to a repository server over the Internet. Installation Manager then searches for the product packages as well as new features.

Setting repository preferences in Installation Manager

To add, edit, or remove a repository location in Installation Manager:

1. Start Installation Manager.
2. 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.
3. On the Repositories page, click Add Repository.
4. In the Add repository window, type the URL of the repository location or browse to it and set a file path.
5. Click OK. If you provided a HTTPS repository location, then you will be prompted to enter a user ID and password. The new or changed repository location is listed. If the repository is not accessible, a red x is displayed in the Accessible column.
6. Click OK to exit.

Package groups and the shared resource directory

Package groups

During the installation process, you must specify a package group for the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package. A package group represents a directory in which packages share resources with other packages in the same group. When you install the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package using Installation Manager, you can create a new package group or install the packages into an existing package group. (Some packages might not be able to share a package group, in which case the option to use an existing package group will be disabled.)

Note that when you install multiple packages at the same time, all the packages are installed into the same package group.

A package group is assigned a name automatically; however, you choose the installation directory for the package group.

After you create the package group by successfully installing a product package, you cannot change the installation directory. The installation directory contains files and resources specific to the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET product package installed into that package group. Resources in the product package that can potentially be used by other package groups are placed in the shared resources directory.

Shared resources directory

The shared resources directory is the directory where installation artifacts are located so that they can be used by one or more product package groups.

Extending an existing Eclipse IDE

To extend an existing Eclipse IDE: in the Location page of the Install Packages wizard, select the Extend an existing Eclipse IDE option.

You might extend your existing Eclipse IDE, for example, because you want to gain the functionality provided in the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package, but you also want to have the preferences and settings in your current IDE when you work with the functionality from the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package. You also might want to work with plug-ins that you have installed that already extend the Eclipse IDE.

Your existing Eclipse IDE must be version 3.2.1 or the latest updates from eclipse.org to be extended. Installation Manager checks that the Eclipse instance you specify meets the requirements for the installation package.

Verifying and extracting electronic images

If you select the Download Director option for downloading the installation files, the Download Director applet automatically verifies the completeness of each file that it processes.

Extracting the downloaded files

Extract each compressed file to the same directory.

Installing silently

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 Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package. Refer to Managing IBM Installation Manager for details on installing Installation Manager.

There are two main tasks required for silent installation:

1. Create the response file.
2. Run Installation Manager in silent installation mode.

Creating a response file

To record a response file for installation (or uninstallation):

1. On a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory where you installed Installation Manager. For example:
   • cd C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse
2. On a command line, type the following command to start the installation manager, substituting your own file name and location for the response file and (optionally) the log file:
   • 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:
   Ensure the file paths you enter exist; Installation Manager will not create directories for the response file and the log file.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions in the Install Packages wizard to make your installation choices, stopping when you reach the Summary page. For details, see Installing IBM Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET Eclipse client using the IBM Installation Manager graphical interface.
4. Click Install, and then when the installation process begins click Cancel.
5. 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

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.bat (Windows) .

• launcher.bat -silent [arguments]

The following table describes the arguments used with the silent installation command:

-input

-log

To run Installation Manager in silent installation mode:

1. On a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory where you installed Installation Manager. For example:
   • cd C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse
2. Enter and run the following command, substituting your own locations for the response file and, optionally, the log file:
   • launcher.bat -slient -input <response file path and name> -log <log file path and name>. For example, launcher.bat -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.

Searching for and silently installing all available products

To search for and silently install all available products:

1. On a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory where you installed Installation Manager.
2. Enter and run the following command, substituting your own locations for the response file and, optionally, the log file:
   • launcher.bat -silent -installAll

All available products known to Installation Manager are installed.

Silently installing updates to all currently installed products

To search for and silently install updates for all available products:

1. On a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory where you installed Installation Manager.
2. Enter and run the following command, substituting your own locations for the response file and, optionally, the log file:
   • launcher.bat -silent -updateAll

All available product updates known to Installation Manager are installed.

Response file commands

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

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" 
</preference>

Use the following table to identify keys and their associated values for silent installation preferences:

Silent installation commands

<profile 
id="the profile (package group) id" 
installLocation="the install location of
 the profile">
<data key="key1" value="value1"/>
<data key="key2" value="value2"/>

	<offering profile= "my_profile" features= "core" id= "ies" 
version= "3.2.0.20060615">
	</offering>
</install>

</agent-input>

Silent install log files

The silent installation functionality creates an XML-based log file that records the result of the silent install 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.

IBM Packaging Utility

Packaging Utility software is located on the Auxiliary CD that is included with Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET. If you want to place a repository that contains a Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package on a Web server that will be available over HTTP or HTTPS, you must use Packaging Utility to copy the product package of Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET into the repository.

Use this utility to perform the following tasks:

• Generate a new repository for product packages.
• Copy product packages to a new repository. You can copy multiple product packages into a single repository, thereby creating a common location for your organization from which product packages can be installed using IBM Installation Manager.
• Delete product packages from a repository.

Refer to the online help for Packaging Utility for full instructions using the tool.

Installing Packaging Utility

Use the following steps to install IBM Packaging Utility software from the Auxiliary CD:

Managing licenses

Trial licenses that came with the 7.0 and later versions of some Rational products expire 30 or 60 days after installation. You need to activate your product in order to use it after the expiration date.

Using the Manage Licenses wizard, you can upgrade trial versions of an offering to a licensed version by importing a product activation kit. You can also enable Floating license enforcement for offerings with trial or permanent licenses to use floating license keys from a license server.

For more information on managing licenses for your Rational product, see:

• The technote at http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21250404 dealing with Rational product activation.
• The Rational licensing support page at http://www-306.ibm.com/software/rational/support/licensing/.

Licenses

Authorized User License

An IBM Rational Authorized User license permits a single, specific individual to use a Rational software product. Purchasers must obtain an Authorized User license for each individual user who accesses the product in any manner. An Authorized User license cannot be reassigned unless the purchaser replaces the original assignee on a long-term or permanent basis.

For example, if you purchase one Authorized User license, you can assign that license to one specific individual, who can then use the Rational software product. The Authorized User license does not entitle a second person to use that product at any time, even if the licensed individual is not actively using it.

Authorized User Fixed Term License

An IBM Rational Authorized User Fixed Term License (FTL) permits a single, specific individual to use a Rational software product for a specific length of time (the term). Purchasers must obtain an Authorized User FTL for each individual user who accesses the product in any manner. An Authorized User FTL cannot be reassigned unless the purchaser replaces the original assignee on a long-term or permanent basis.

If you notify IBM that you do not want to extend the license term, then you must stop using the product when the license expires.

Floating license

An IBM Rational Floating license is a license for a single software product that can be shared among multiple team members; however, the total number of concurrent users cannot exceed the number of floating licenses you purchase. For example, if you purchase one floating license for a Rational software product, then any user in your organization may use the product at any given time. Another person who wants to access the product must wait until the current user logs off.

To use floating licenses, you must obtain floating license keys and install them on a Rational License Server. The server responds to end-user requests for access to the license keys; it will grant access to the number of concurrent users that matches the number of licenses the organization purchased.

License enablement

Licenses for Rational Software Development Platform offerings are enabled in two ways:

• Importing a product activation kit
• Enabling Rational Common Licensing to obtain access to floating license keys

Activation kits

Product activation kits contain the permanent license key for your trial Rational product. You purchase the activation kit, download the activation kit .zip file to your local machine, and then import the activation kit .jar file to enable the license for your product. You use IBM Installation Manager to import the activation kit to your product.

Floating license enforcement

Optionally, you can obtain floating license keys, install IBM Rational License Server, and enable Floating license enforcement for your product. Floating license enforcement provides the following benefits:

• License compliance enforcement across the organization
• Fewer license purchases
• Serve license keys for IBM Rational Team Unifying and Software Development Platform desktop products from the same license server

For more information on obtaining activation kits and Floating licenses, see Purchasing licenses.

Viewing license information for installed packages

To view license information:

1. Start IBM Installation Manager.
2. On the main page, click Manage Licenses.

The package vendor, current license types, and expiration dates are displayed for each installed package.

Importing a product activation kit

If you have not purchased an activation kit, you must do this first. If you have purchased a product or a product activation kit, insert the appropriate CD or download the activation kit from IBM Passport Advantage to an accessible workstation. The activation kit is packaged as a .zip file containing a Java archive (.jar) file. The .jar file contains the permanent license key and must be imported to activate your product.

To import an activation kit .jar file and enable the new license key:

1. Start IBM Installation Manager.
2. On the main page, click Manage Licenses.
3. Select a package and click the Import Activation Kit button.
4. Click Next. Details for the selected package are shown, including the current license kind and the product version range of the license.
5. Browse to the path on the media CD or download location for the activation kit; then select the appropriate Java archive (JAR) file and click Open.
6. Click Next. The Summary page displays the target install directory for the activation kit, the product the new license applies to, and version information.
7. Click Finish.

The product activation kit with its permanent license key is imported to the product. The Manage Licenses wizard indicates whether the import is successful.

Enabling floating licenses

Before enabling Floating license enforcement, you must obtain the license server connection information from your administrator. For details on license server, license key, and Rational Common Licensing administration, see the IBM Rational License Management Guide.

You can find the most recent version of the License Management Guide online at http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/v7/rcl/7001/docs/install_instruction/license_admin.pdf.

To enable floating licenses as the license type for specified packages and configure license server connections:

1. In the IBM Installation Manager for the Rational Software Development Platform, click File -> Open -> Manage Licenses.
2. Select a version of a package and then select the Configure Floating license support button.
3. Click Next.
4. Click the Enable Floating license enforcement button.
5. Configure one or more license server connections.
   1. Click an empty field in the Servers table or click the Add button.
   2. If your administrator provided you with information for a redundant server environment, click the Redundant Server button. Fields for the primary, secondary, and tertiary server names and ports appear.
   3. Enter the host name of the license server in the Name field.
   4. (Optional) Enter a value in the Port field for environments where a firewall is used. Do not assign a value to this port unless your administrator instructs you to do so.
   5. For redundant server environments, enter the names and ports (if required) for the secondary and tertiary servers.
   6. (Optional) You can click the Test Connection button to confirm that the connection information is correct and that the server is available.
   7. Click OK.
6. Click Next.
7. (Optional) Configure the license usage order for your shell shared or custom packages. The order of licenses in the list determines the order in which your package attempts to obtain access to license keys for a given licensed package.
8. Click Finish.

The Manage Licenses wizard indicates whether the floating licenses configuration is successful.

Now, when you next open the enabled product, a connection is created to the license server to obtain a license key from the pool of available floating license keys.

Purchasing licenses

To purchase licenses and enable your product, complete the following steps:

1. Determine the type of license you want to purchase.
2. Go to ibm.com^(R) or contact your IBM sales representative to purchase the product license. For details, visit the IBM Web page on How to buy software.
3. Depending on the type of license you purchase, use the Proof of Entitlement you receive and do one of the following to enable your product:
   • If you purchase Authorized User licenses for your product, go to Passport Advantage and follow the instructions there for downloading your product activation kit .zip file. Once you have downloaded the activation kit, you must import the product activation .jar file using Installation Manager.
   • If you purchase Floating licenses for your product, click the link to the IBM Rational Licensing and Download site, login (IBM registration is required), and then select the link to connect to the IBM Rational License Key Center. There you can use your Proof of Entitlement to obtain floating license keys for your license server.

     Optionally, you can also go to Passport Advantage to download the activation kit for your product. After importing the activation kit, you have the option of switching from a floating to a permanent license type if you use your PC offline for long periods.

When you want to import the activation kit or enable floating license support for your product, use the Manage Licenses wizard in IBM Installation Manager.
