IBM Rational Asset Manager, version 7.1.1 refresh pack contains fixes and enhancements to the v7.1 and 7.1.0.1 releases
Download Description
You can install this refresh pack when you install Rational Asset Manager, version 7.1. If version 7.1 is already installed on your computer, then you can install the fix pack as an update.
Hardware requirements
There are no additional processor or memory requirements for installing this fix pack; however, there might be additional disk space requirements depending on whether you are installing the fix pack at the same time when you install Rational Asset Manager, version 7.1, or if you are installing the fix pack as an update:
If you are installing the fix pack at the same time you install Rational Asset Manager, Version 7.1, then the disk space requirements are not significantly different than for version 7.1.
If you are installing the fix pack as an update, then you might need up to an additional 2.5 GB of disk space. Your actual disk space requirements depend on how you installed version 7.1 of the product.
Before you can install this fix pack, you must install IBM Installation Manager, version 1.2.1. By default, if you attempt to update or install packages by using an earlier version of Installation Manager, IBM Installation Manager, version 1.2.1 is installed on your computer automatically.
To install updates, you must have Internet access. The updates are located and installed by Installation Manager directly from the IBM update repository for Rational Asset Manager, version 7.1.
Important: When Rational Asset Manager is installed, the location of its update repository is automatically embedded in Installation Manager. For Installation Manager to search the default update repository, the preference Search the linked repositories during installation and updates on the Repositories preference page must be selected. This preference is selected by default.
To install the fix pack from a different repository location (for example, if the fix pack is available on a shared drive or HTTP or HTTPS server), you must add the repository location in Installation Manager.
To add a repository location:
Start Installation Manager.
On the Start page of Installation Manager, click File > Preferences, and then click Repositories. The Repositories page opens.
On the Repositories page, click Add Repository.
In the Add repository window, enter the URL of the repository location or browse to it and enter a file path, and then click OK.
Click OK to close the Preference page.
Installation Instructions
The following sections contain specific installation instructions for this refresh pack.
