Because Rational Asset Manager Version 7.5.2 and later does not support embedded WebSphere Application Server and does not support versions of WebSphere Application Server earlier than 7.0, if you are running Rational Asset Manager on embedded WebSphere Application Server or on a version of WebSphere Application Server earlier than 7.0, you must first reinstall your existing version of Rational Asset Manager on a supported version of WebSphere Application Server 7.0 or later. Then, follow the steps in this topic to upgrade to Rational Asset Manager, Version 7.5.2 or later.
You must upgrade your license server and file a request for updated license keys. For more information about the required version of Rational License Server, see Installing Rational License Key Server.
You will also have to stop and restart your application server several times.
You can also configure an existing Rational Team Concert server to work with Rational Asset Manager. The server setup application handles the configuration. You must know the user name and password for the Rational Team Concert server administrator.
If you have Internet access, you can use IBM Installation Manager to locate and install the updates directly from the IBM update repository for Rational Asset Manager.
To install the fix pack from a different repository location (for example, if the update is on a shared drive or HTTP or HTTPS server), add the repository location in Installation Manager. To add a repository location, see Setting installation repository preferences in Installation Manager.
To work with Installation Manager, you must use a graphical user interface (GUI). If you do not have access to a GUI, you must install silently over the command line with response files. For more information, see the IBM Installation Manager online help and Installing silently with Installation Manager.
Rational License Key Server is included with the Rational Asset Manager installation media. You can also retrieve the latest version of Rational License Server through your Passport Advantage account, or through the IBM Support Portal.
This process requires that you shut down all applications that use Rational Licensing Server, uninstall your existing Rational Licensing Server, update your license files, and install Rational Common Licensing server. For Windows, see Configuring a license server for Windows; for AIX or Linux, see Configuring a license server for UNIX.
For Linux for zSeries, continue to use Rational License Server for UNIX and Linux 7.0.0.1.Note that the rlsclients_rlsibmratl_812.zip file is in the package_group_location/ram/SharedLibs directory.
If you deployed the server setup application to an application server that is part of a cluster and you are accessing that application server, to upload the files to the server that is running the server setup application, click Upload the files to the server; then click Browse and select each of the required files.
If you installed the Rational Asset Manager Eclipse client plug-ins by using the Eclipse update manager, before you install the latest version of Rational Asset Manager, use the Eclipse configuration manager to remove any features that are named Rational Asset Manager.

For Rational Asset Manager version 7.5.1 and later, the URL for the internal Rational Team Concert server changed from https://host:port/jazz to https://host:port/ramjazz.
