Purpose

This Interim Fix applies to IBM® Rational® Programming Patterns 9.6.2.

Installation prerequisites

This update requires that you have already installed one of the packages listed in the above section.

Installation instructions

Rational Programming Patterns Client

1. Extract RPP962_iFix005_Client.zip to a temporary directory.

For example, on Windows:

c:\temp

2. Installation Manager Updates.

Start Installation Manager and add the "diskTag.inf" file path (of the sub directory "disk1") in the Repositories list of the Preference tool of Installation Manager

For example:

c:\temp\RPP962_iFix005Client\disk1\diskTag.inf

Click OK and go back to the Installation Manager main page.

3. Installation.

In Installation Manager, click on "Update" and choose the Package to update then follow the Installation Instructions.

Rational Programming Patterns Server

For an installation on z/OS, see the explanations in “Rational Programming Patterns Server for z/OS”.

1. Extract RPP962_iFix005_Server.zip to a temporary directory.

For example, on Windows:

c:\temp

2. Installation Manager Updates.

Start Installation Manager and add the "diskTag.inf" file path (of the sub directory "disk1") in the Repositories list of the Preference tool of Installation Manager

For example:

c:\temp\RPP962_iFix005Server\disk1\diskTag.inf

Click OK and go back to the Installation Manager main page.

3. Installation.

In Installation Manager, click on "Update" and choose the Package to update then follow the Installation Instructions.

Rational Programming Patterns Server for z/OS

1. Extract RPP962_iFix005_Server_zOS.zip to a temporary directory.

For example, on Windows:

c:\temp

2.The extraction produces the following two files: one prefixed by IBM.HAKF962 and one prefixed by IBM.HAL3962.

For the installation you must choose:

- IBM.HAKF962 for RTC lower than 6.0.3

- IBM.HAL3962 for RTC 6.0.3 and higher

3. Upload the file you have chosen to z/OS and install it with SMP/E.

See the details in the Rational Programming Patterns Installation Guide, chapter 10, subchapter “Updating the server on z/OS”.
