Start and main menu updates after installation

When you install IBM® Integration Bus components on Linux on x86 or Windows, the installation program updates the main or Start menus.

IBM Integration Toolkit on Linux on x86 running Red Hat

The main menu is populated with the following entries:

  • Programming > IBM Integration Toolkit
  • Programming > IBM Installation Manager

If you install multiple products with Installation Manager on this operating system, a single entry exists in the main menu and refers to the last product that you installed. The package groups of installed products are not reflected in the main menu. To invoke applications that you installed previously, including other installations of the IBM Integration Toolkit, you must use the command-line interface.

If you want to start Installation Manager, for example to update or uninstall one or more packages, you cannot use the main menu items, because these actions require root authority. Become root and start the Installation Manager program /eclipse/IBMIM in the Installation Manager installation directory on the command line.

The main menu is populated with the following entries:

  • All Applications > Development > IBM Integration Toolkit

If you install multiple products with Installation Manager on this operating system, a single entry exists in the main menu and refers to the last product that you installed. The package groups of installed products are not reflected in the main menu.
