Installation Instructions

There are two options available for updating to this fix pack:

  • You can add the path to the update repository in IBM Installation Manager and then use the Update feature. This method requires a connection to the Internet on the computer performing the update.

  • For users behind firewalls or otherwise unable to use the online update mechanism, you can download the update repository, extract it to a local server (creating a local repository), add that repository to Installation Manager on computers on your network, and use the Update feature to perform the installation.

Before beginning the upgrade using either of the installation options, close Rational RequisitePro. If you are upgrading an installation with the Web components (RequisiteWeb), perform the following tasks:
  • Verify that all RequisiteWeb users are logged out of RequisiteWeb.
  • Use your Windows Computer Management to stop the following services:
    • IBM HTTP Server 6.1 - RationalSDLC
    • IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.1 - RWP ReqWeb Servlet
  • Copy the catalog.txt file and store it elsewhere in your file system. By default, this file is located here:
    C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\RequisitePro\ReqWeb\projects
  • If you previously specified an alternate installation location, copy the config.txt file and store it elsewhere in your file system. By default, this file is located here:
    C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\profiles\profile2\installedApps\ DefaultNode\ReqWeb.ear\ReqWeb.war\WEB-INF\classes\
  • If you previously customized the Rational Web Platform for RequisiteWeb, as described in Configuring the IBM Rational Web Platform, make copies of the httpd.conf, ssl.conf files, and any other files you modified.

After you finish upgrading the RequisiteWeb installation, restore your copy of the catalog.txt and other backup files to the directories in which they were previously located.
