Content
The resolution for this problem is to install WebSphere Developer for System z V7.0 Service Release, Refresh Pack 7.0.1 which is available from Installation Manager server or download.
The problem is seen in the following scenarios:
Scenario 1 -
- Customer has installed IBM Rational Application Developer V7.0 (with or without service prior to V7.0.0.2) and IBM WebSphere Developer for System z V7.0 (with or without V7.0.0.1).
- Customer installs IBM Rational Application Developer interim fix V7.0.0.2.
- The impact is some functionality within IBM WebSphere Developer for System z V7.0 will be rendered unusable.
Scenario 2 -
- Customer has installed IBM Rational Application Developer V7.0 (with or without service prior to V7.0.0.2) but has not installed IBM WebSphere Developer for System z V7.0.
- Customer installs IBM Rational Application Developer interim fix V7.0.0.2.
- Customer will not be able to install IBM WebSphere Developer for System z V7.0 until the next IBM WebSphere Developer for System z V7.0 service update is available.
If IBM Rational Application Developer interim fix V7.0.0.2 is installed, and you cannot wait for the next IBM WebSphere Developer for System z V7.0 service update, the following is required:
- Uninstall IBM WebSphere Developer for System z V7.0 by following these steps.
- Open a command prompt and open to the Installation Manager install directory (the default install directory is C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager)
- Start the Installation Manager with the following command:
eclipse\launcher.exe -vmargs -Dcic.expander.allowErrors=true
This will cause the Installation Manager to treat the errors that block the uninstall as warnings which can be ignored to allow the uninstall to continue. - Uninstall WDz 7.0. When the warnings appear, continue through them and proceed with the uninstall.
- Uninstall IBM Rational Application Developer V7.0.
- Install IBM Rational Application Developer V7.0 without applying the IBM Rational Application Developer interim fix V7.0.0.2 interim fix.
- Install IBM WebSphere Developer for System z V7.0.
