Rational Programming Patterns cannot be installed on AIX®. However, a package is standardly supplied with the Rational Programming Patterns client part to run some commands on this operating system. - Testing the installation
Before you can work with the new products, you must ensure that the installation was successful. - Updating Rational Programming Patterns
IBM® periodically provides updates for Rational Programming Patterns. So the latest updates can be installed as soon as they are available. You can access these updates from the IBM update server or from a compressed file that you download from Fix Central. To update the Rational Programming Patterns server that is installed on z/OS®, you must apply the PTF that is available with the fix. - Uninstalling Rational Programming Patterns
The Rational Programming Patterns installation process does not automatically uninstall the previous versions of the product. - Appendix: IBM Packaging Utility
You can use the IBM Packaging Utility software to copy packages to a repository that can be placed on a web server available over HTTP or HTTPS. It is useful if you have different offerings or service updates you want to place in a single repository in addition to Rational Programming Patterns. You can use this repository to perform interactive or silent installations.
