Rational Programming Patterns

Updating from the IBM update server

With the package updating function of IBM® Installation Manager, you can identify and install the updates for the Rational® products that are installed on your workstation. You must install with the same Windows account that originally installed the IBM Rational Programming Patterns product.

Before you begin

By default, an Internet access is required to install updates unless your repository preferences point to a local or network update repository to which your system has access.

Each installed package integrates the URL of its IBM update repository by default. To make IBM Installation Manager search for the packages installed in the IBM update repositories, the option Search service repositories during installation and updates must be selected in the repositories preferences page. It is selected by default.

Note: Close all the programs that were installed with Installation Manager before updating.
