Installing IBM® Rational® Integration Tester by using Installation Manager

You can use Installation Manager to install Rational® Integration Tester when you want to use the IBM® Rational® Test Workbench or IBM® Rational® Integration Tester package and you have Installation Manager installed on your computer.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Procedure

  1. Open IBM® Installation Manager on your computer.

    The IBM® Installation Manager dialog is displayed.

  2. Add repositories to point to the location of the extracted installation files in Installation Manager by clicking File > Preferences > Repositories.
  3. Click Apply and then OK for Installation Manager to use the selected repository.
  4. Click Install to start the installation.

    The IBM® Installation Manager install packages dialog is displayed.

  5. Clear or retain the products selected for installation. Ensure that you select IBM® Rational® Integration Tester to be installed.

    If you already installed an earlier version of the product, you are prompted about the existing installation and you need to opt if you want them to be upgraded to the version you downloaded. Updates that have dependencies are automatically selected and cleared together.

    To view all updates that are found for the available packages, select Show all versions and click Check for Other Versions, Fixes, and Extensions. You require your Passport Advantage login credentials to view and install any newer packages or updates to the selected version of the software.

  6. Click Next.
  7. Read the license agreement for Rational® Test Control Panel, and then click I accept the terms in the license agreement.
    If you purchased an Authorized User license with IBM® Rational® Test Workbench, you receive these license activation kits:
    • Rational® Performance Tester
    • Rational® Functional Tester
    • Rational® Integration Tester
    Note: The Rational® Performance Tester Processor Value Unit (PVU) license activation kit uses all the capabilities of Rational® Performance Tester agents that are associated with the Rational® Performance Test Server and IBM® Rational® Test Virtualization Server offerings. These capabilities include the ability to run virtual users on those agents without Virtual Tester Pack licenses.
  8. Click Next.
  9. Select the package group into which Rational® Test Control Panel is to be installed and either retain the default location or enter the location where the installation files are created.

    The shared resources directory is the location to which installation artifacts that can be used by one or more package groups are written. To change the shared resources directory, uninstall all the installed packages and then reinstall them in to the new directory location.

  10. Select the translations to install . Some translations are supported by all packages, while others are supported by only certain packages.
    1. Click Translations Supported by Only Some Packages to see the available translations.
    2. Select the translations.
    3. Click Next.
  11. On the Features page, select the package features to install.
    1. To see the dependency relationships between features, select Show Dependencies.
    2. Click a feature to view its brief description under Details. If you have a license, you can select the Trial/Full licensed edition check box.
    3. Select or clear features in the packages. Installation Manager automatically enforces any dependencies with other features and displays updated download sizes and disk space requirements for the installation.
    4. Click Next.
  12. On the common licensing configuration page, if you are using floating or token licenses, type the TCP/IP port number and hostname of the license servers to use to configure licensing on the workbench computer. Separate the port number and hostname with the at sign (@). Separate the port-host pairs with semicolons (;). To use the default port, omit the port number. If you do not know the port numbers and names of license servers to use, you can configure the license servers after installation by using Rational® License Key Administrator.
    For example, to configure three license servers that are named license1, license2, and license3 to use port 27000, the default port, and port 1765, respectively, enter this text:

    27000@license1;@license2;1765@license3

    Click Next.
  13. On the Summary page, review your choices before you install the product package. To change the choices that you made on previous pages, click Back. When you are satisfied with your installation choices, click Install.
    A progress indicator shows the percentage of the installation that is completed. When the installation process is complete, a confirmation message is displayed.
  14. Click View log file to open the installation log file for the current session in a new window. You must close the Installation Log window to continue.

    Alternatively, in Installation Manager, go to File > View Log to verify if the installation was successful.

  15. Click Finish to start the selected package. The Install Package wizard closes and you are returned to Installation Manager.
