Planning to install
Read all the topics in this section before you begin to install
or update any of the product features. Effective planning and an understanding
of the key aspects of the installation process can help ensure
a successful installation.
Installation scenarios
There are a number of scenarios that you can follow when you install
or update Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET.
You can install Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET,
Version 7.0.5 refresh pack as an update to version 7.0, version 7.0.0.2, version
7.0.0.3, or version 7.0.0.4 of that is installed on your computer. You can
also install this refresh pack as a new installation of Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET.
The following are some of the factors that might determine your installation
scenario:
- The location for your installation (for example, you can install the product
onto your own workstation, or make the installation files available to your
enterprise.).
- The type of installation (for example, you can use the Installation Manager
GUI, or install silently.).
These are the typical installation scenarios you might follow:
- Installing from the CDs.
- Installing from a downloaded electronic image on your workstation.
- Installing from an electronic image on a shared drive.
- Installing from
a repository on an HTTP or HTTPS Web server.
Note that in the latter three scenarios you can
choose to run the Installation Manager program in silent mode to install Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET. For details
on running Installation Manager in silent mode, see Installing silently.
Note also that you can install updates at the same time that you install
the base product package.
Installing from CDs
In this
installation scenario, you have the CDs that contain the product package files,
and typically you are installing Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET on
your own workstation. See Installing Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET from
CDs: task overview for
an overview of the steps.
Installing from a downloaded electronic image on your workstation
In this scenario, you have
downloaded the installation files from IBM Passport Advantage(R) and you
will install Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET on
your own workstation. See Installing Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET from
an electronic image on your workstation: task overview for
an overview of the steps.
Installing from an electronic image on a shared drive
In
this scenario, you will place the electronic image on a shared drive so that
users in your enterprise can access the installation files for Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET from
a single location. See Installing Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET from
an electronic image on a shared drive: task overview for
an overview of the steps.
Installing
from a repository on an HTTP or HTTPS Web server
This
scenario is the fastest method for installing the product on a network and
is different from the shared-drive installation. To place product package
files for Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET on
an HTTP or HTTPS Web server, you must use IBM Packaging Utility, a utility
application, to copy the installation files in a package format that you can
use to install Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET directly
from an HTTP or HTTPS Web server. This utility is provided with Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET.
The directory on the HTTP or HTTPS Web server that contains the package is
called a repository. Note that any optional software included with the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET installation
CDs are not placed in the package; only the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET installation
files are placed in the package. See Installing Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET from
a repository on an HTTP or HTTPS Web server: task overview and Placing Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET on
an HTTP Web server: task overview for an overview of the steps.
Upgrade and coexistence considerations
If you have a previous version of the product,
or if you plan to install multiple Rational Software Delivery Platform
products on the same workstation, review the information in this section.
Offering coexistence considerations
Some products are designed to coexist and share function when they are
installed in the same package group. A package group is a location where you
can install one or more software products or packages. When you install each
package, you select whether you want to install the package to an existing
package group, or whether you want to create a new one. IBM Installation
Manager will block products that are not designed to share or do not meet
version tolerance and other requirements. If you want to install more than
one product at a time, the products must be able to share a package group.
At the time of release, the following products will share function when
installed to a package group:
- Rational Application
Developer
- Rational Software
Architect
- Rational Functional
Tester
- Rational Performance
Tester
- Rational Software
Modeler
- Rational Systems
Developer
- Rational Tester
for SOA Quality
Any number of eligible products can be installed to a package group. When
a product is installed, its function is shared with all of the other products
in the package group. If you install a development product and a testing product
into one package group, when you start either of the products, you have both
the development and testing functionality available to you in your user interface.
If you add a product with modeling tools, all of the products in the package
group will have the development, testing, and modeling functionality available.
If you install a development product and later purchase a development product
with increased functionality and add that product to the same package group,
the additional function will be available in both products. If you uninstall
the product with the greater functionality, the original product remains.
Note that this is a change from the "upgrade" behavior of version 6 products
in the Rational Software
Delivery Platform group.
Note:
Each product installed into a unique location may
be associated with only one package group. A product must be installed into
multiple locations in order to be associated with multiple package groups. Rational Functional Tester and Rational Performance Tester can be
installed into only one location on a computer, therefore one package group.
Installation repositories
IBM Installation Manager retrieves
product packages from specified repository locations.
If the launchpad is used to start Installation Manager,
the repository information is passed to Installation Manager.
If the Installation Manager is
started directly, you must specify an installation repository that contains
the product packages that you want to install. See Setting repository preferences in Installation Manager.
Some organizations bundle and host their own product packages on their
intranet. For information about this type of installation scenario, see Installing
from a repository on an HTTP or HTTPS Web server.
Your system administrators will need to provide you with the correct URL.
By default, IBM Installation Manager uses
an embedded URL in each Rational software development product to connect
to a repository server over the Internet. Installation Manager then searches
for the product packages as well as new features.
Setting repository preferences in Installation Manager
When you start the installation of Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET from
the launchpad program, the location of the repository that contains the product
package you are installing is automatically defined in IBM Installation Manager when it starts.
However, if you start Installation Manager directly (for example, installing Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET from a repository
located on a Web server) then you must specify the repository preference (the
URL for the directory that contains the product package) in Installation Manager
before you can install the product package. Specify these repository locations
on the Repositories page of the Preferences window. By default, Installation
Manager uses an embedded URL in each Rational software development product
to connect to a repository server through the Internet and search for installable
packages and new features. Your organization may require you to redirect the
repository to use intranet sites.
Note:
Before starting the installation process, be sure to obtain
the installation package repository URL from your administrator.
To add, edit, or remove a repository location in Installation Manager:
- Start Installation Manager.
- On the Start page of Installation Manager, click File -> Preferences,
and then click Repositories. The Repositories
page opens, showing any available repositories, their locations, and whether
they are accessible.
- On the Repositories page, click Add
Repository.
- In the Add repository window, type the URL
of the repository location or browse to it and set a file path.
- Click OK. If you provided an HTTPS or restricted
FTP repository location, then you will be prompted to enter a user ID and
password. The new or changed repository location is listed.
If the repository is not accessible, a red x is displayed in the Accessible column.
- Click OK to exit.
Note:
For Installation Manager to search the default repository
locations for the installed packages, ensure the preference Search
service repositories during installation and updates on the Repositories
preference page is selected. This preference is selected by default.
Package groups and the shared resource directory
When you install the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package
using IBM Installation Manager, you
must choose a package group and a shared resource directory.
Package groups
During the installation
process, you must specify a package group for the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package.
A package group represents a directory in which packages share resources with
other packages in the same group. When you install the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package
using Installation Manager,
you can create a new package group or install the packages into an existing
package group. (Some packages might not be able to share a package group,
in which case the option to use an existing package group will be disabled.)
Note that when you install
multiple packages at the same time, all the packages are installed into the
same package group.
A package group is assigned a name automatically;
however, you choose the installation directory for the package group.
After
you create the package group by successfully installing a product package,
you cannot change the installation directory. The installation directory contains
files and resources specific to the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET product
package installed into that package group. Resources in the product package
that can potentially be used by other package groups are placed in the shared
resources directory.
Important:
To enable users who do not have Administrator privileges
to work with Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET in
the Windows Vista
operating system, do not choose a directory inside the Program Files directory
(C:\Program Files\).
Shared resources directory
The shared resources
directory is the directory where installation artifacts are located so
that they can be used by one or more product package groups.
Important:
- You can specify the shared resources directory once: the first time that
you install a package. For best results, use your largest drive for this.
You cannot change the directory location unless you uninstall all packages.
- To enable users
who do not have Administrator privileges to work with Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET on
a Windows Vista
system, do not choose a directory inside the Program Files directory (C:\Program
Files\).
Extending an existing Eclipse IDE
When you install the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET product
package, you must choose to extend an Eclipse integrated development
environment (IDE) already installed on your computer by adding the functions
that the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package
contains.
To extend an existing Eclipse IDE: in the Location page of the Install
Packages wizard, select the Extend an existing Eclipse IDE option.
Important:
To enable users
who do not have Administrator privileges to work with Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET in
the Windows Vista
operating system, do not install Eclipse inside the Program Files directory
(C:\Program Files\).
You might extend your existing Eclipse IDE, for example, because you want
to gain the functionality provided in the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package,
but you also want to have the preferences and settings in your current IDE
when you work with the functionality from the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package.
You also might want to work with plug-ins that you have installed that already
extend the Eclipse IDE.
Your existing Eclipse IDE must be version
3.3.1 for the latest updates from eclipse.org to be extended. Installation
Manager checks that the Eclipse instance you specify meets the requirements
for the installation package.
Note:
You might need to update your Eclipse version
in order to install updates to Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET.
Refer to the update release documentation for information on changes to the
prerequisite Eclipse version.

locations for the installed packages, the preference Search the
linked repositories during installation and updates on the Repositories
preference page must be selected. This preference is selected by default.
Internet access is also required.
Installation Manager searches
for updates at the predefined IBM update repository for the product package.
It also searches any repository locations that you have set. A progress indicator
shows the search is taking place. You can install updates at the same time
that you install the base product package.
- If updates for the IBM Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package
are found, then they will be displayed in the Installation Packages list
on the Install Packages page below their corresponding product. Only recommended
updates are displayed by default.
- To view all updates found for the available packages, click Show
all versions.
- To display a package description under Details,
click on the package name. If additional information about the package is
available, such as a readme file or release notes, a More info link
is included at the end of the description text. Click the link to display
the additional information in a browser. To fully understand the package you
are installing, review all information beforehand.
- Select the IBM Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package
and any updates to the package that you want to install. Updates that have
dependencies are automatically selected and cleared together. Click Next to
continue.
Note:
If
you install multiple packages at the same time, then all the packages will
be installed 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. On the left
side of the License page, click each package version
to display its license agreement. The package versions that you selected to
install (for example, the base package and an update) are listed under the
package name.

The
default path is: C:\IBM\SDP70com
Important:
You can specify the shared resources directory
only the first time that you install a package. Use your largest disk for
this to help ensure adequate space for the shared resources of future packages.
You cannot change the directory location unless you uninstall all packages.
- On the Location page, create a package group to install the IBM Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package
into or if this is an update, use the existing package group. A package group
represents a directory in which packages share resources with other packages
in the same group. To create a new 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.
The default path is: C:\IBM\SDP70
Important:

Installing silently
You can install the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET product
package by running Installation Manager in silent installation mode. When
you run Installation Manager in silent mode, the user interface is not available;
instead, Installation Manager uses a response file to input the commands that
are required to install the product package. You can also install Installation
Manager silently using the Installation Manager installer. You can then use
the installer to silently install product packages.
Running Installation Manager in silent mode is helpful
because it enables you to use a batch process to install, update, modify and
uninstall product packages through scripts.
Note
that you must install Installation Manager before you can silently install
the Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package.
Refer to Managing IBM Installation
Manager for details
on installing Installation Manager.
There are two main tasks required for silent installation:
- Create the response file.
- Run Installation Manager in silent installation mode.
Creating a response file with Installation Manager
You can create a response file by recording your actions as you
install a Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET product
package using Installation Manager, or the Installation Manager installer.
When you record a response file, all of the selections that you make in the
Installation Manager GUI are stored in an XML file. When you run Installation
Manager in silent mode, Installation Manager uses the XML response file to
locate the repository that contains the package, select the features to install,
and so on.
To record a response file for installation (or uninstallation):
- On a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory
where you installed Installation Manager. For example:
-
cd
C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse
- On a command line, type the following command to start the Installation
Manager, substituting your own file name and location for the response file
and (optionally) the log file:
Note:
Ensure the file paths you enter exist; Installation Manager will
not create directories for the response file and the log file.
- Follow the instructions in the Install Packages wizard
to make your installation choices. For details, see Installing Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET by
using the Installation Manager GUI.
- Click Finish, then close Installation Manager.
An XML response file is created and resides in the location specified
in the command.
Recording a response file with the Installation Manager installer
You can use the Installation Manager installer to record the installation
of Installation Manager and other products.
To record the installation of Installation Manager, follow these
steps:
- Unzip the Installation Manager, then go to the InstallerImage_platform directory.
- To start recording, enter install -record <response
file path and name> -skipInstall <agentDataLocation> -vmargs -Dcom.ibm.cic.agent.hidden=false
Recording a product install with the installer
To start recording a product install with the Installation Manager
installer, follow these steps:
- Go to the InstallerImage_platform directory
in location where you unzipped the Installation Manager.
- Open the install.ini file by removing the following lines: -input and @osgi.install.area/install.xml
- Enter the following command: install -record <response
file path and name> -skipInstall <agentDataLocation>, for example:
install -record
- Start the Installation Manager and complete the Install Packages
wizard.
Installing and running Installation Manager in silent mode
Use the Installation Manager installer to install Installation
Manager, then use Installation Manager to install product packages in silent
installation mode from a command line.
Refer to the Installation Manager Web site for additional documentation on how to run
it in silent mode. For example, silently installing from a repository that
requires authentication (user ID and password).
The following table
describes the arguments used with the silent installation command:
Argument |
Description |
-vm |
Specifies the Java launcher. In silent mode, always use
java.exe on Windows, and java on other platforms. |
-nosplash |
Specifies that the splash screen should be suppressed. |
--launcher.suppressErrors |
Specifies that the JVM error dialog should be suppressed. |
-silent |
Specifies that the Installation Manager installer or Installation
Manager should be run in silent mode. |
-input |
Specifies an XML response file as the input to
Installation Manager installer or the Installation Manager. A response file
contains commands that installer or Installation Manager runs. |
-log |
(Optional) Specifies a log file that records the result of the silent
installation. The log file is an XML file. |
Both the Installation Manager installer and the Installation
Manager have an initialization or .ini file silent-install.ini that
includes default values for the arguments in the table.
The Installation
Manager installer is used to install the Installation Manager. Follow these
steps to install the Installation Manager silently.
To install Installation
Manager silently, unzip the installer and switch to the eclipse subdirectory,
then use the following commands:
-
installc
--launcher.ini silent-install.ini -log <log file path and name> .
For example: installc --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -log c:\mylogfile.xml
After Installation Manager is installed, you can use it to install
other products. You can also use the Installation Manager installer to install
the products.
To run Installation Manager in silent mode run the following
command from the eclipse subdirectory:
-
IBMIMc.exe
--launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input <response file path and name>
-log <log file path and name>. For example: IBMIMc.exe --launcher.ini
silent-install.ini -input c:\mylog\responsefile.xml -log c:\mylog\silent_install_log.xml
If you want to silently install products using the Installation
Manager installer, from the eclipse directory, enter the following command:
-
installc.exe
--launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input <response file path and name>
-log <log file path and name>. For example: installc --launcher.ini
silent-install.ini -input c:\mylog\responsefile.xml -log c:\mylog\silent_install_log.xml
When the Installation Manager installer, or Installation Manager runs
in silent installation mode; it reads the response file and writes a log file
to the directory you specified. While you must have a response file when running
in silent installation mode, log files are optional. The result of this execution
should be a status of 0 on success and non-zero number on failure.
Searching for and silently installing all available products
You can silently search for and install updates for all available
products.
To search for and silently install all available products:
- On a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory
where you installed Installation Manager.
- Enter and run the following command, substituting your own locations
for the response file and, optionally, the log file:
-
IBMIMc.exe
--launcher.ini silent-install.ini -installAll -log <log file path and name>
All available products known to Installation Manager are installed.
Silently installing updates to all currently installed products
You can silently search for and install updates for all currently
installed products.
To search for and silently install updates for all available products:
- On a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory
where you installed Installation Manager.
- Enter and run the following command, substituting your own locations
for the response file and, optionally, the log file:
-
IBMIMc.exe
--launcher.ini silent-install.ini -updateAll -log <log file path and name>
All available product updates known to Installation Manager are installed.
Response file commands
If you want to use the silent installation capabilities of Installation
Manager, you need to create a response file that contains all of the commands
that Installation Manager must run. The recommended way to do this is to create
a response file by recording your actions as you install the IBM Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET package.
However, you can create or edit a response file manually.
There are two categories of commands for the response file:
- Preference commands are used to set preferences that are found
in Installation Manager under File -> Preferences, such as repository location information.
- Silent installation commands are used to emulate the Install Packages
wizard in Installation Manager.
Silent installation preference commands
While you typically specify preferences using the Preferences window,
you can also specify preferences (identified as keys) in a response file for
use during a silent installation.
Note:
You can specify more than one preference in a response file.
When
you define preferences in a response file, your XML code will look similar
to the following example:
<preference
name = "the key of the preference"
value = "the value of the preference to be set">
</preference>
Use the following table to identify keys and their associated
values for silent installation preferences:
Key |
Value |
Notes |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.logLocation |
Specifies the location of Installation Manager log file. |
Important:
This key is optional and is designed for testing
and debugging. If you do not specify a location for the log file, both silent
installation and the UI version of Installation Manager will use the same
location. |
com.ibm.cic.license.policy.location |
Specifies a URL that defines where the remote license policy file
resides. |
|
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.http.proxyEnabled |
True or False |
False is the default value. |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.http.proxyHost |
Host name or IP address |
|
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.http.proxyPort |
Port number |
|
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.http.proxyUseSocks |
True or False |
False is the default value. |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.SOCKS.proxyHost |
Host name or IP address |
|
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.SOCKS.proxyPort |
Port number |
|
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.ftp.proxyEnabled |
True or False |
False is the default value. |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.ftp.proxyHost |
Host name or IP address |
|
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.ftp.proxyPort |
Port number |
|
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences.eclipseCache |
c:\IBM\common (Windows)
/opt/IBM/common (Linux(R))
Note:
The
paths above are default values for this preference; typically, install packages
provide their own values for this preference. |
You cannot change this location if you have already installed a package. |
com.ibm.cic.agent.core.pref.offering.service.repositories. areUsed |
True or False |
Change this preference to 'False' to disable it. When 'True', all
linked repositories will be searched when products are installed or updated. |
com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences. preserveDownloadedArtifacts |
True or False |
Change this preference to 'False' to disable it. When true, the files
required to roll the package back to a previous version are stored on your
system. When false, these files are not stored. If you do not store these
files, you must connect to your original repository or media to roll back. |
Silent installation commands
You can use this reference table to learn more about response file
commands for use during a silent installation.
Response file commands |
Description |
Profile
<profile
id="the profile (package group) id"
installLocation="the install location of
the profile">
<data key="key1" value="value1"/>
<data key="key2" value="value2"/>
</profile> |
Use this command to create a package group (or installation location).
If the specified package group already exists, then the command has no effect.
Currently, when creating the profile, the silent installation will also create
two installation contexts; one for Eclipse and one for native.
A profile is an installation location.
You can use the <data> element
for setting profile properties.
The following list contains the keys
currently supported keys and related values:
- The eclipseLocation key specifies an existing Eclipse
location value, such as c:\myeclipse\eclipse.
- The cic.selector.nl key specifies the Natural Language
(NL) locale selections, such as zh, ja,
and en.
Note:
Separate multiple NL values with commas.
The following
list contains the currently supported language codes:

|
Repositories
<server>
<repository location="http://example/
repository/">
<repository location="file:/C:/
repository/">
<!--add more repositories below-->
<...>
</server> |
Use this command to specify the repositories used during a silent
installation. Use a URL or UNC path to specify remote repositories; use directory
paths to specify local repositories. |
Install
<install>
<offering profile= "profile id"
features= "feature ids"
id= "offering id" version= "offering
version"></offering>
<!--add more offerings below>
<...>
</install> |
Use this command to specify the installation packages that will be
installed.
The profile ID must match an existing profile or a profile created
by the set profile command.
Feature IDs can be optionally specified
by a comma-delimited list, such as "feature1, feature2" and so on. If no feature
IDs are specified, all the default features in the specified offering will
be installed.
The version number is not required. If no version is specified,
the Installation Manager will install the most recent product with the specified
id and any available updates and fixes.
Note:
Required features will
be included for installation, even if they are not explicitly specified in
the comma-delimited list. |
<install modify="true"> or <uninstall
modify="true"> (optional attribute)
<uninstall modify="true">
<offering profile="profileID"
id="Id" version="Version"
features="-"/>
</uninstall> |
Use the <install modify="true"> attribute
on install and uninstall commands to indicate that you want to modify an existing
install. If the attribute is not set to true, the value
defaults to false. If the intent of the modify operation
is only to install additional language packs, then a hyphen "-" should be
used in the offering feature id list to indicate no new features are being
added.
Important:
You must specify "modify=true" and
a hyphen "-" feature list as specified in the example;
otherwise, the install command will install the offering's default features
and the uninstall command will remove all the features. |
Uninstall
<uninstall>
<offering profile= "profile id"
features= "feature ids"
id= "offering id" version= "offering
version"></offering>
<!--add more offerings below>
<...>
</uninstall> |
Use this command to specify the packages that will be uninstalled.
The
profile ID must match an existing profile or a profile specified in a profile
command. Further, if there are no feature IDs specified, all the features
in the specified offering will be uninstalled; if there are no offering IDs
specified, all the installed offerings in the specified profile will be uninstalled. |
Rollback
<rollback>
<offering profile= "profile id"
id= "offering id"
version= "offering version">
</offering>
<!--add more offerings below
<...>
</rollback> |
Use this command to roll back to the specified offerings from the
version currently installed on the specified profile. You cannot specify
features in a roll back command. |
InstallAll
<installALL/>
Note:
This
command is equivalent to using
-silent -installAll . |
Use this command to silently search for and install all available
packages. |
UpdateAll
<updateALL/>
Note:
This
command is equivalent to using
-silent -updateAll . |
Use this command to silently search for and update all available
packages. |
License
<license policyFile="policy file
location"/>
For example:
<license policyFile="c:\mylicense.opt"/> |
Use this command to generate a response file containing a license
command by starting the license wizard after starting Installation Manager
in record mode.
During record mode, if you set flex options through the
license management wizard, the options you set will be recorded in a license
policy file named "license.opt" in the same directory as the generated response
file; the response file will contain a license command that references the
policy file. |
Wizard
<launcher -mode wizard -input
< response file > |
Use this command to start Installation Manager in UI mode. The UI
mode starts Installation Manager in either the install wizard or the uninstall
wizard. However, in this case, the response file can only contain preference
commands and install commands or preference command and uninstall commands;
you can not mix install and uninstall commands in the same response file when
you run Installation Manager in UI mode. |
Additional response file attributes
Response file attribute |
Description |
Clean
<agent-input clean="true">
</agent-input> |
By default, clean="false". Installation Manager
will use the repository and other preferences specified in the response file
as well as the existing preferences set in the Installation Manager. If a
preference is specified in the response file and the Installation Manager,
the one in the response file takes precedence.
If set to clean="true",
Installation Manager will use the repository and other preferences specified
in the response file; the existing preferences set in the Installation Manager
will not be used. |
Temporary
<agent-input clean="true" temporary="false">
</agent-input> |
By default, temporary is set to 'false' and the
preferences set in your response file will be persisted. When you set temporary="true",
the preferences set in the response file will not be persisted.
You can
use the temporary and clean attributes together, for example, if you set clean
to true and temporary to false, after running the silent install the repository
setting specified in the response file will override the preferences set in
the previous sessions using Installation Manager. |
License agreement acceptance
<agent-input acceptLicense="false">
</agent-input> |
By default, you agree to accept whatever license an installation
package carries when using Installation Manager in silent installation mode.
If you do not want to accept the license agreement, you can use an additional
attribute in the <agent-input> element that automatically
fails the silent installation operation, <agent-input acceptLicense="false">.
If the installation package you are installing has a license agreement that
must be accepted, the silent installation operation will fail. |
Reference: Sample response file
You can use an XML-based response file to specify predefined information
such as silent installation preferences, repository locations, installation
profiles, and so on. Response files are beneficial for teams and companies
that want to install installation packages silently and to standardize the
locations and preferences for installation packages.
Sample response file |
<agent-input >
<!-- add preferences -->
<preference name="com.ibm.cic.common.core.preferences. http.proxyEnabled"
value="c:/temp"/>
<!-- create the profile if it doesn't exist yet -->
<profile id="my_profile" installLocation="c:/temp/my_profile"></profile>
<server>
<repository location=
"http://a.site.com/local/products/sample/20060615_1542/repository/"></repository>
</server>
<install>
<offering profile= "my_profile" features= "core" id= "ies"
version= "3.2.0.20060615">
</offering>
</install>
</agent-input> |
Silent install log files
You can use silent install log files to examine the results of
a silent installation session.
The silent installation functionality creates an XML-based log
file that records the result of the silent install execution (as long as a
log file path is specified using -log <your log
file path>.xml). If your silent installation session
is successful, the log file will contain just the root element of <result> </result>.
However, if errors occur during the installation, the silent install log file
will contain error elements with messages such as:
<result>
<error> Cannot find profile: profile id</error>
<error> some other errors</error>
</result> |
For detailed analysis, you can look at the logs
generated in the Installation Manager data area.
By using a preference command, you can optionally set the data area to your
preferred location, as shown in the response file topic.
Managing licenses
Licensing for your installed IBM software and customized packages is
administered using the Manage Licenses wizard in the IBM Installation Manager. The Manage Licenses
wizard displays license information for each of your installed packages.
Trial licenses that came with the 7.0 and later versions of some Rational products
expire 30 or 60 days after installation. You need to activate your product
in order to use it after the expiration date.
Using the Manage Licenses
wizard, you can upgrade trial versions of an offering to a licensed version
by importing a product activation kit. You can also enable Floating license
enforcement for offerings with trial or permanent licenses to use floating
license keys from a license server.
For more information on managing
licenses for your Rational product, see:
Licenses
As a purchaser of IBM Rational software products, you can choose from
three types of product licenses: an Authorized User license, an Authorized
User Fixed Term License (FTL) and a Floating license. The best choice for
your organization depends upon how many people use the product, how often
they require access, and how you prefer to purchase your software.
Authorized User License
An IBM Rational Authorized User license permits
a single, specific individual to use a Rational software product. Purchasers
must obtain an Authorized User license for each individual user who accesses
the product in any manner. An Authorized User license cannot be reassigned
unless the purchaser replaces the original assignee on a long-term or permanent
basis.
For example, if you purchase one Authorized User license, you
can assign that license to one specific individual, who can then use the Rational software
product. The Authorized User license does not entitle a second person to use
that product at any time, even if the licensed individual is not actively
using it.
Authorized User Fixed Term License
An IBM Rational Authorized
User Fixed Term License (FTL) permits a single, specific individual to use
a Rational software
product for a specific length of time (the term). Purchasers must obtain an
Authorized User FTL for each individual user who accesses the product in any
manner. An Authorized User FTL cannot be reassigned unless the purchaser replaces
the original assignee on a long-term or permanent basis.
Note:
When
you purchase an Authorized User FTL under the Passport Advantage Express
program, IBM will
automatically extend the license term for an additional year at the prevailing
price unless you notify IBM before the license expires that you do not want an
extension. The subsequent FTL term starts when the initial FTL term expires.
The price for this subsequent term is currently 80% of the initial FTL price
but is subject to change.
If you notify IBM that you do not want to extend the license
term, then you must stop using the product when the license expires.
Floating license
An IBM Rational Floating license is a license
for a single software product that can be shared among multiple team members;
however, the total number of concurrent users cannot exceed the number of
floating licenses you purchase. For example, if you purchase one floating
license for a Rational software
product, then any user in your organization may use the product at any given
time. Another person who wants to access the product must wait until the current
user logs off.
To use floating licenses, you must obtain floating
license keys and install them on a Rational License Server. The server
responds to end-user requests for access to the license keys; it will grant
access to the number of concurrent users that matches the number of licenses
the organization purchased.
License enablement
If you are installing a Rational software product for the first
time or want to extend a license to continue using the product, you have options
on how to enable licensing for your product.
Licenses for Rational Software Delivery Platform offerings
are enabled in two ways:
- Importing a product activation kit
- Enabling Rational Common
Licensing to obtain access to floating license keys
Note:
Trial licenses that came with the 7.0 and later versions of some Rational products
expire 30 or 60 days after installation. You need to activate your product
in order to use it after the expiration date. See support article
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21250404 on
product activation for a flow chart of the activation process.
Activation kits
Product activation kits contain
the permanent license key for your trial Rational product. You purchase the
activation kit, download the activation kit .zip file to your local machine,
and then import the activation kit .jar file to enable the license for your
product. You use IBM Installation Manager to import the activation kit
to your product.
Floating license enforcement
Optionally, you can
obtain floating license keys, install IBM Rational License Server, and enable
Floating license enforcement for your product. Floating license enforcement
provides the following benefits:
- License compliance enforcement across the organization
- Fewer license purchases
- Serve license keys for IBM Rational Team Unifying and Software Delivery Platform desktop
products from the same license server
Note:
Some 7.0 and later versions of Rational products require an upgraded
version of the Rational License
Server. See support article
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21250404 for
license upgrade information.
For more information on obtaining activation
kits and Floating licenses, see Purchasing
licenses.
You can review license information for your installed packages,
including license types and expiration dates, from IBM Installation Manager.
To view license information:
- Start IBM Installation Manager.
- On the main page, click Manage Licenses.
The package vendor, current license types, and expiration dates are
displayed for each installed package.
Importing a product activation kit
To install your permanent license key, you must import the activation
kit from the download location or the product media by using IBM Installation
Manager.
If you have not purchased an activation kit, you must do this first.
If you have purchased a product or a product activation kit, insert the appropriate
CD or download the activation kit from IBM Passport Advantage to an
accessible workstation. The activation kit is packaged as a .zip file containing
a Java archive
(.jar) file. The .jar file contains the permanent license key and must be
imported to activate your product.
To import an activation kit .jar file and enable the new license
key:
- Start IBM Installation Manager.
- On the main page, click Manage Licenses.
- Select a package and click the Import Activation Kit button.
- Click Next. Details for
the selected package are shown, including the current license kind and the
product version range of the license.
- Browse to the path on the media CD or download location for the
activation kit; then select the appropriate Java archive (JAR) file and click Open.
- Click Next. The Summary
page displays the target install directory for the activation kit, the product
the new license applies to, and version information.
- Click Finish.
The product activation kit with its permanent license key is imported
to the product. The Manage Licenses wizard indicates whether the import is
successful.
Enabling floating licenses
If your team environment supports Floating license enforcement,
you can enable Floating licenses for your product and configure a connection
to obtain access to floating license keys.
Before enabling Floating license enforcement, you must obtain the
license server connection information from your administrator. For details
on license server, license key, and Rational Common Licensing administration,
see the IBM Rational License
Management Guide.
You can find the most recent version of the License
Management Guide online at: http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/v7/rcl/701/docs/install_instruction/install.html
To enable floating licenses as the license type for specified packages
and configure license server connections:
- In the IBM Installation Manager for the Rational Software Delivery Platform,
click File -> Open -> Manage Licenses.
- Select a version of a package and then select the Configure
Floating license support button.
- Click Next.
- Click the Enable Floating license enforcement button.
- Configure one or more license server connections.
- Click an empty field in the Servers table
or click the Add button.
- If your administrator provided you with information for a redundant
server environment, click the Redundant Server button. Fields for the primary, secondary, and tertiary server names and
ports appear.
- Enter the host name of the license server in the Name field.
- (Optional) Enter a value in the Port field
for environments where a firewall is used. Do not assign a value to this port
unless your administrator instructs you to do so.
- For redundant server environments, enter the names and ports
(if required) for the secondary and tertiary servers.
- (Optional) You can click the Test Connection button
to confirm that the connection information is correct and that the server
is available.
- Click OK.
- Click Next.
- (Optional) Configure the license usage order for your shell shared
or custom packages. The order of licenses in the list determines the order
in which your package attempts to obtain access to license keys for a given
licensed package.
- Click Finish.
The Manage Licenses wizard indicates whether the floating licenses
configuration is successful.
Now, when you next open the enabled product, a connection is created
to the license server to obtain a license key from the pool of available floating
license keys.
Purchasing licenses
You can purchase new licenses if your current product license is
about to expire or if you want to acquire additional product licenses for
team members.
To purchase licenses and enable your product, complete the following
steps:
- Determine the type of license you want to purchase.
- Go to ibm.com(R) or contact your IBM sales representative to purchase the
product license. For details, visit the IBM Web page on How to buy software.
- Depending on the type of license you purchase, use the Proof of
Entitlement you receive and do one of the following to enable your product:
- If you purchase Authorized User licenses for your product, go to Passport Advantage and follow the
instructions there for downloading your product activation kit .zip file.
Once you have downloaded the activation kit, you must import the product activation
.jar file using Installation Manager.
- If you purchase Floating licenses for your product, click the link
to the IBM Rational Licensing and Download site, login
(IBM registration
is required), and then select the link to connect to the IBM Rational License
Key Center. There you can use your Proof of Entitlement to obtain floating
license keys for your license server.
Optionally, you can also go to Passport
Advantage to download the activation kit for your product. After importing
the activation kit, you have the option of switching from a floating to a
permanent license type if you use your computer offline for long periods.
When you want to import the activation kit or enable floating license
support for your product, use the Manage Licenses wizard in IBM Installation
Manager.
You can start Rational Modeling Extension for Microsoft .NET from
the desktop environment or a command-line interface.
