Re: Deploying Rational and ACS from a central location

Hi Mark

It is possible to do this - it was done at our company - but I strongly advise against it - ACS is meant to be deployed, not installed - a central location can be used where the main jar file lives.

One issue we have here due to this method is that updates just don't happen - the central IT enablement group really doesn't think in those terms here.

I'll let someone else speak to RDi, except to say that installation and updates of RDi use the Installation Manager - the central distribution COULD use a repository on the network system, after that I haven't tried to figure this out.

There are several documents for this - esp. for RDi, there's a text or HTML file with a slew of these installation scenarios. I think I recently saw something for ACS.

Good luck - and please let us know what y'all come up with - it'd help everyone.

Regards
Vern

My company is currently rolling out Microsoft 365 across all PCs in the organization. They are using InTune to push applications to all computers and users will sign in with the O365 credentials to the laptops and be managed by the Azure Active Directory. My understanding is this is fairly standard stuff these days to manage a large group of PCs.

Right now they are treating the deployment of Rational and ACS to the development team as pretty much the only applications in the company they can't push from a central location. I've tried to do some googling on how to do this but haven't come up with much that is understandable to me. Does anyone here have a link to a resource describing how to accomplish this?

Thanks for your help in advance!
