Re: Size of IBM Software Delivery Platform (WDSC7)

This would not help you with WDSC 7 as there have not been that many updates
yet but it may help you with WDSC 6. In the Rational Updater on the
Installed Products tab there is a Clean Up button. To fully understand what
this does feel free to click on help and search on Clean Up and it will
explain it fully.

To summarize....every time you apply an update with the Rational Updater you
have the option of rolling back the updates which individuals on this board
have had mixed results on the success of this feature. In order to achieve
the rollbacks each of the updates that are done contain large amounts of
files and takes up alot of space. I had a machine that I had applied
several updates over the course of months and once I found this out and ran
the cleanup I got back 2 gig on my machine.

However once you run the cleanup you will no longer be able to roll back to
the state before you ran the update.

I usually apply the updates now use the tool for a while and before I run
the next update I clean up the files.

No, you're seeing what you think you're seeing, Aaron. I don't see
anywhere
near that. I don't know what to tell you.

How about anybody else? Can you check your Add/Remove Programs and see
what
is listed there for IBM Software Delivery Platform?

I don't know what you're smoking, Aaron.

I don't know either, but man it sure is hard to see my monitor right now
with all this smoke! ;-)

Maybe I am looking at the wrong value, but here is a screen shot and I
don't
remember seeing that before WDSC 7.0 install.

Thoughts?

On another note the reason why I am uninstalling is because my
Add/Remove Programs window is showing it takes up almost 6GB! I was
even more surprised to see that the new install is taking up 12.7GB!

I don't know what you're smoking, Aaron.

My V7 installation shows 1.6GB in Add/Remove Programs, and on disk it's
3GB.
