Install the IBM® Rational® Asset Manager Eclipse
client package by using the IBM Installation
Manager GUI.
Procedure
- Start the Rational Asset Manager launchpad
program (see Installing from the launchpad program)
and select IBM Rational Asset Manager.
If Installation
Manager is
not installed, install it by following the steps in the installation
wizard. The installation wizard opens.
- The Installation page of the installation wizard lists
all the packages that Installation
Manager found
in the repositories.
- To search for updates to the Rational Asset Manager package,
click Check for updates.
- Select the Rational Asset Manager client and
any updates to the package to install. Updates that have dependencies
are automatically selected and cleared together. To continue, click Next.
Note: If you install packages at the same time, all of the
packages install into the same package group.
- On the Licenses page, read the license agreement for the
selected package. If you selected more than one package to install,
there might be a license agreement for each package. To display the
license agreement for a package, on the left side of the License page,
click each package version. The package versions that you selected
to install are listed under the package name.
- If you agree to the terms of all of the license agreements,
click I accept the terms of the license agreements.
- To continue, click Next.
- If you install the first package on this computer, then
on the Location page, either type the path for the shared resources
directory in the Shared Resources Directory field
or accept the default path. The shared resources directory contains
resources that package groups can share. To continue, click Next.
Default paths:
- C:\Program
Files\IBM\SDP70Shared
- /opt/IBM/SDP70Shared
Important: You can specify the shared resources
directory only the first time that you install a package. To ensure
adequate space for the shared resources of future packages, use your
largest disk for this directory. You cannot change the directory location
unless you uninstall all of the packages.
- On the Location page, either choose an existing package
group to install the Rational Asset Manager Eclipse
client package into, or create a new one. A package group represents
a directory in which packages share resources. To create a package
group:
- Click Create a new package group.
- Type the path for the installation directory for the
package group. The name for the package group is created
automatically.
Default paths:
- C:\Program
Files\IBM\SDP70
- /opt/IBM/SDP70
- To continue, Click Next.
- If an Eclipse IDE is installed on your system,
you can extend its functionality to the packages that you are installing.
- If you do not want to extend an existing Eclipse IDE, click Next to
continue.
- To extend an existing Eclipse IDE:
- On the next Location page, select Extend an existing
Eclipse.
- In the Eclipse IDE field, type or navigate
to the location of the folder that contains the Eclipse executable
file (eclipse.exe or eclipse.bin). Installation
Manager checks
if the Eclipse IDE version is valid for the package that you are installing.
The Eclipse IDE JVM field displays the Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM) for the
IDE that you specified.
- To continue, click Next.
- On the Features page under Languages,
select the languages for the package group. The corresponding national
language translations for the user interface and documentation for
the Rational Asset Manager package
are installed. Your choices apply to all of the packages that are
installed under this package group.
- On the next Features page, click Next. You cannot clear the IBM Rational Asset Manager client feature.
- On the next Features page, select a method for delivering
the help content. Select one of the available options, and then click Next:
- Access help from the web: Connect directly to the public information
center for your help content.
- Download help and access the content locally: Download the
help using the Local Help Updater.
- Access help from a server on your intranet: Download the help
using the Local Help Updater and allow users to connect to the intranet
server for the help contents. Enter details for the Host, Port, and
Path.
Note: This selection is not applied to the Rational Asset Manager server
installation.
- Before you install the Rational Asset Manager package,
review your choices on the Summary page. To change your choices, click Back and
make your changes. When you are satisfied with your installation choices,
click Install to install the package. An indicator shows the progress of the installation.

the success of the process.
