IBM Installation Manager installs, updates, and modifies
applications or packages. Installation Manager monitors what you have
installed, detects what is available for you to install, and organizes
installation directories. You can install Rational Reporting using
Installation Manager.
Procedure
- Install packages with the Install wizard. You can accept
the defaults for the installation, or you can modify the default settings
to create a custom installation. Before you install a package, you
get a complete summary of your selections. You can also install one
or more packages at a time.
- Update packages with the Update wizard. You can find available
updates to packages that you have installed. An update might be a
released fix, a new feature, or a new version of the product. Before
you choose whether to apply an update, you can review the contents
of the update.
- Modify elements of packages with the Modify wizard. During
the first installation of the package, you select the features to
install. If you require other features later, you can add them to
your package. You can also remove features and add or remove languages.
- Manage licenses with the Manage Licenses wizard. You can
change your trial license to a full license, set up your servers for
floating licenses, and select which type of license to use for each
package.
- Revert to a previous version of a package with the Roll
Back wizard.
- Remove packages from your computer with the Uninstall wizard.
You can uninstall more than one package at a time.
