You can see here the instructions for installing Rational® Programming Patterns.
These instructions are also included in the installation guide that
is available from the installation disks and electronic images of
the product.
Introduction
The installation instructions guide you in installing,
updating, and uninstalling Rational Programming
Patterns V9.1.
Planning to install Rational Programming Patterns
Read this section before attempting to install any of the
product features. Many problems can be avoided by planning and understanding
the key aspects of the installation process before actually starting
the installation.
Running Rational Programming Patterns command lines on AIX
Rational Programming
Patterns cannot be installed on AIX®.
However, a package is standardly supplied with the Rational Programming Patterns client part
to run some commands on this operating system.
Testing the installation
Before you can work with the new products, you must ensure
that the installation was successful.
Updating Rational Programming Patterns
IBM® periodically
provides updates for Rational Programming
Patterns. So the latest updates can be installed as soon as they are
available. You can access these updates from the IBM update server or from a compressed file that
you download from Fix Central. To update the Rational Programming Patterns server that
is installed on z/OS®, you must
apply the PTF that is available with the fix.
Uninstalling Rational Programming Patterns
The Rational Programming
Patterns installation process does not automatically uninstall the
previous versions of the product.
Appendix: IBM Packaging Utility
You can use the IBM Packaging
Utility software to copy packages to a repository that can be placed
on a web server available over HTTP or HTTPS. It is useful if you
have different offerings or service updates you want to place in a
single repository in addition to Rational Programming
Patterns. You can use this repository to perform interactive or silent
installations.
