Installation scenarios
The following are two options to install this fix pack:
By default, you do not need to download the compressed files in this document that contain the update; the update is downloaded and installed by IBM Installation Manager directly from the IBM update repository. If you choose to download the update, refer to Downloading the fix pack for local installations.
Downloading the fix pack for local installations
You can download the compressed files containing Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7004 fix pack; the files that you extract from the compressed files form a repository for the fix pack. You can install the fix pack from the repository on your own computer, or you can use IBM Packaging Utility to create the repository that can be hosted on a shared drive or an HTTP or HTTPS server.
You require approximately 6 GB to store and extract the compressed file.
To download and install the fix pack, complete the following steps:
Note: During the process of updating from a local repository, Installation Manager might prompt you for the location of the repository for Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0. If you installed the product from CDs or other media, they must be available when you use the update feature.
Installing Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0.0.4 as an update
You must install the fix pack with the same user account that installed the product.
Restrictions:
To find and install Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0.0.4 as an update:
The steps for Installing Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0.0.4 on Windows Vista are essentially the same as installing on other Windows operating systems. However, there are some important differences that are summarized below.
Sample installation steps are provided in this section. For additional details and installation scenarios, see the Installation Guide.
Installation notes for Windows Vista:
Note: If the launchpad program starts automatically (for example, if you are installing from a CD), stop the launchpad program and restart it by using the Run as administrator command; navigate to the CD or disk image, and right-click launchpad.exe (at the top level of the CD or image) and click Run as Administrator.
Note: If you select either an Installation Location or Shared Resources Directory within the Program Files directory, the packages that you install must be run as administrator.
Sample installation steps for Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0.0.4 on Windows Vista:
If the installation location or Shared Resources directory for Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software is in a directory in the path C:\Program Files, then you must run Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software as the administrator. To run as administrator, right-click the program shortcut and click Run as administrator.
On Windows Vista, the Program Files directory is usually virtualized in order to allow users who are not running as the administrator to have write access to this protected directory. However, the virtualization workaround is not compatible with Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software.
If you selected an installation location or Shared Resources directory in the path C:\Program Files and you do not want to require running Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software as administrator, complete one of the following steps:
For more information on running Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software on Windows Vista, refer to the technote at: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21257842
Uninstalling the fix pack
If you updated a previously installed version to version 7.0.0.4, you can revert to the previous version by using the rollback feature of Installation Manager. For instructions on uninstalling the product, see the Installation Guide.
The rollback feature uninstalls the updated resources and reinstalls the resources from the previous version. You can only roll back one version level at a time.
When you roll back to an earlier version of a package, it will be restored with same features that were associated with that version; any features that you added after upgrading to version 7.0.0.4 by using the Modify Packages wizard will be removed, and any features that you removed will be restored.
During the rollback process, Installation Manager must access files from the earlier version of the package. By default, these files are stored on your system when you install a package. If you changed the default setting or deleted the files by using the Remove Stored Files option on the Roll Back preferences page (File > Preferences > Rollback Files), Installation Manager will require access to your installation repository or media. If you installed the product from a repository, you must have listed in your Preferences (File > Preferences > Repositories) the repository from which you installed the previous version of the product. If you installed the product from CDs or other media, they must be available when you use the rollback feature.
Before you roll back Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0.0.4, complete the following steps:
To roll back an updated package, complete the following steps:
