IBM Device Runtime Environment 6.1.2 Installation Guide

Product Overview

IBM^® Device Runtime Environment is a software program that provides a runtime environment and integrated middleware components for extending many browser and web container based enterprise applications to server-managed laptop computers and desktop systems. It provides a client-side, services-oriented framework that can enable applications to run locally. It also provides client management services that can be used by network and system administrators to deploy, maintain, update, and even remove software from end-user machines, with minimal end-user intervention.

Installing DRE components into the Expeditor Client

Install the DRE using either the Install/Update UI or using the provisioning manifest. The Install/Update UI is useful for installing a DRE into only one runtime, but for automation purposes, you should consider using the provisioning manifest.

To install DRE components using the Update Manage UI:

Start the Expeditor Client. Then select File > Application > Install.
From the Install/Update (Feature Updates) dialog, select Search for new features to install. From the Install (Update Sites to Visit) dialog, create a new Update site definition.
- Select a New Remote Site if the DRE has been made available using a Web site. Otherwise select New Local Site. Browse to the location of the DRE (CD-ROM drive letter or location where it might have been unzipped on a mapped drive letter or mount), then select updates/client. Select Finish.
- When the Install (Search Results) dialog displays, select the Core JVM Features - J2SE feature, then select Next. (You can also select the JavaServer Faces (JSF) feature.) If the license terms are agreeable, select I accept the terms in the license agreement, then select Next.
- Select Finish to complete the installation. A dialog informing you that a feature is not signed might display. Select Install on this dialog to continue.

To perform a more automated installation of the DRE, you can either customize the provisioning manifest for install, or use the Provisioning Application to install the DRE using the provisioning manifest. Refer to the Assembling and Deploying Lotus Expeditor Applications documentation for more information.
