      New in this release
      This release of Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software contains new features and enhancements in the following areas:
        Platform, operating system, and utility software enhancements:

        J2C Tools
        • Improvements to data binding file generation

        • When performing CICS or IMS data binding generation using the CICS/IMS Java Data Binding wizard, existing binding files are now updated. (Previously, a new data binding file was created and the original file was deleted.) This allows the data binding file to be maintained under version control in a source code management system.


        Web services
        • Web services can be created from Java beans in Java projects

        • You can now use the Web service creation tools to create Java bean Web services from Java beans in a Java project using the bottom-up approach. The Web service creation tools add the required project and J2EE module dependencies to the Web project that holds the service.


        XML Tools
        • New "Remove Unused Imports" action

        • A new action has been added to the context menu of XML schema and WSDL files that removes unused xsd:import statements. To access the action, right-click the file and click Remove Unused Imports.

        Installing the fix pack during an initial installation on Windows Vista
        The steps for Installing Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0.0.6 on Windows Vista are essentially the same as installing on other Windows operating systems. However, there are some important differences that are summarized in the following sections:

          Installation notes for Windows Vista
          • You must run Installation Manager as administrator. (Right-click the program shortcut and click Run as administrator.)
          • If you are starting the installation of Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software from the launchpad program, you must run the launchpad programs as administrator.

          Note: If the launchpad program starts automatically (for example, if you are installing from a CD), stop the launchpad program and restart it by using the Run as administrator command; navigate to the CD or disk image, and right-click launchpad.exe (at the top level of the CD or image) and click Run as Administrator.
          • Selecting installation directories within the Program Files directory (C:\Program Files) is not recommended.

          Note: If you select either an Installation Location or Shared Resources Directory within the Program Files directory, the packages that you install must be run as administrator.


          Sample steps for installing on Windows Vista
          1. Start the launchpad program as administrator. (Right-click the launchpad program and click Run as administrator).
          2. If you have not done so already, read the release information by clicking Release notes.
          3. When you are ready to begin the installation, click Install IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software.
          4. A message window opens to inform you whether the program IBM Installation Manager is detected on your workstation.
          5. If IBM Installation Manager is not detected on your system, then you are informed that you must install it before you can continue.
          6. Click OK to install IBM Installation Manager. The IBM Installation Manager installation wizard opens. Follow the on-screen instructions in the wizard to complete the installation of IBM Installation Manager.
          7. When the installation of IBM Installation Manager completes successfully, click Finish to close the wizard.
          8. Read the message that opens and click OK. Installation Manager starts and automatically opens the Install Packages wizard.
          9. If IBM Installation Manager is detected on your system, click OK and Installation Manager starts and automatically opens the Install Packages wizard.
          10. On the Install page, click Check for updates.
          11. If a new version of Installation Manager is found, you are prompted to confirm that you want to install it before you can continue. Click OK to proceed. Installation Manager automatically installs the new version, stops, restarts, and resumes.
          12. Click Check for new updates and extensions and select the latest version of the product (7.0.0.6).
          13. Follow the on-screen instructions in the Install Packages wizard to complete the installation. Note that you should not choose a Shared Resources directory or an Installation Location in the Program Files directory (C:\Program Files).

          Starting the product on a Windows Vista computer
          If the installation location or Shared Resources directory for Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software is in a directory in the path C:\Program Files, then you must run Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software as the administrator. To run as administrator, right-click the program shortcut and click Run as administrator.

          On Windows Vista, the Program Files directory is usually virtualized in order to allow users who are not running as the administrator to have write access to this protected directory. However, the virtualization workaround is not compatible with Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software.

          If you selected an installation location or Shared Resources directory in the path C:\Program Files and you do not want to require running Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software as administrator, complete one of the following steps:

          • If you selected an installation location in a directory in the path C:\Program Files, then reinstall Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software (and any other programs sharing the same installation location) and select an installation location that is not in the path C:\Program Files.
          • If you selected a shared resources directory in the path C:\Program Files, then reinstall Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software and all Rational Software Development Platform product (regardless of their installation location) and select a Shared Resources directory and installation locations that are not in the path C:\Program Files.

          For more information on running Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software on Windows Vista, refer to the technote at: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21257842

      Silent installation instructions updates

      The commands for installing silently have changed in IBM Installation Manager, Version 1.1.1; the information in the Installation Guide is not current. Updated information about silent installation is available in the Installation Manager Information Center at:
      http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/install/v1m0r0/index.jsp

      Back to top




      Uninstalling the fix pack
      If you updated a previously installed version to version 7.0.0.6, you can revert to the previous version by using the rollback feature of Installation Manager. For instructions on uninstalling the product, see the Installation Guide.

      The rollback feature uninstalls the updated resources and reinstalls the resources from the previous version. You can only roll back one version level at a time.

      When you roll back to an earlier version of a package, it will be restored with same features that were associated with that version; any features that you added after upgrading to version 7.0.0.6 by using the Modify Packages wizard will be removed, and any features that you removed will be restored.

      During the rollback process, Installation Manager must access files from the earlier version of the package. By default, these files are stored on your system when you install a package. If you changed the default setting or deleted the files by using the Remove Stored Files option on the Roll Back preferences page (File > Preferences > Rollback Files), Installation Manager will require access to your installation repository or media. If you installed the product from a repository, you must have listed in your Preferences (File > Preferences > Repositories) the repository from which you installed the previous version of the product. If you installed the product from CDs or other media, they must be available when you use the rollback feature.

      Before you roll back Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0.0.6, complete the following steps:

      1. Log in with a user account that has the same privileges as the account that was used to install the packages to be uninstalled.
      2. Close Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0.0.6 and any other applications that you installed by using Installation Manager.
      3. If any applications started by Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software are still open or running, such as a browser or WebSphere Application Server, close them.

      To roll back an updated package, complete the following steps:
      1. Start IBM Installation Manager.
      2. On the Start page, click Roll Back Packages.
      3. In the Rollback wizard, from the Package Group Name list, select the package group that contains the packages that you want to roll back and click Next.
      4. Select the version of the package that you want to roll back to and click Next.
      5. Read the summary information and click Roll Back.

      For additional instructions on uninstalling Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, see the Installation Guide or the Installation Manager online help.
