Prerequisites

Rational Developer for System z 8.5

This release requires IBM Installation Manager, Version 1.5.2 or later.

Note: If you disabled any product features by modifying the feature.xml files or through the Update Manager by clicking Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration in the workbench, you must enable them before you install this update.

Installation Instructions

This Refresh Pack is provided as an update and installed using IBM Installation Manager. You can install the update directly from the IBM update server or download an archive file that contains the update and then use IBM Installation Manager to perform local installations.

It is recommended that the install is performed by connecting to the IBM update server, but an archive file that contains the update is available for those who may need it for the following reasons:

  • Would like to download Rational Developer for System z Refresh Pack V8.5.1, but install at a later time.
  • Have slow or unstable internet connections and would like to use a download manager with resume capability.
  • Have trouble accessing the live IBM update server from behind firewalls.
  • Are site administrators for a group of developers who do not have direct access to the internet.
If you choose to download RDz850RefreshPack851.zip instead of using the Installation Manager capability within the IBM update server, do the following steps:
  1. Download the RDz850RefreshPack851.zip file from the support website.
  2. Unzip RDz850RefreshPack851.zip to a folder on your system. These files are temporary and may be deleted after the installation is completed.
  3. Follow the installation instructions using the executable file.
