Re: RDi 9 Service Pack-one: RDI 9.0.1 for network install?

Ken

You still use Installation Manager - you just have to get the download unzipped and registered in IM. I just looked in IM - you take the File menu, then Preferences, then Repositories.

There you can add a repository, which, I assume, would be the repository.config file in DISK1 that is in the directory that has DISK1 and DISK2 in it from the unzipping.

I'm trying this now, once I get it downloaded. I'm also using FileZilla, where I'm downloading both ZIP files at the same time - but 20KBytes/sec? Even for each ZIP file, that's sad, esp. since I have 50,000kbps download bandwidth - this slow download is an issue for PTF downloads and now this, from IBM's site.

More later - much later.

Okay, I have downloaded the 2.2 Gig Service pack to get RDI 9.0.1 on other ILE RPG Developers Laptops...
<Big Smile>

But, I am not sure how you perform the update from this Service pack download...

I see these download instructions URL:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24036660#INSTALL

I know how to do the Update from the IBM Installation Manager, but not from the downloaded service pack...

I am trying to do "STEP-1", get RDI 9 installed on every developer's Laptop, so they have access. But, I also need to update them to the Latest Service Pack, so they all have RDI 9.0.1

So, are there "simple" instructions to upgrade the RDI 9.0 to RDI 9.0.1 using the downloaded 2.2 gig Service Pack??

Thanks in Advance!

PS. The service pack (2.2 Gig) download took me approximately 2 hours, I believe, I wasn't watching it real close.

After installed on every developer's laptop, there will be a "Lunch & Learn" supported by management! (Quick Start guide, to get developer's feet wet, so to speak). Management knows that SEU is frozen at V6R1M0, and we all need to use RDI! <Joy Joy>

SO, here is my plan:
1.) Copy the installation files on the Developer's Laptop Disk 1-4
(I have discovered I only need disk 1 & 2 to install the base version)
2.) Install it the 64-bit version for Windows 7.
3.) Install the Service Pack/Service Pack to upgrade to 9.0.1
4.) Do a Quick Start Guide during a "Lunch & Learn" in Conference room.

I did the Google thing for "rational developer for i 9.0.1" and found
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24036660

In that doc if I click on "Download package" at the top it takes me to a Fix Central download link...

Q.E.D.

Hi,

Is there a place to download the Service-Pack for RDI 9.0.1 separately?

To put it on a network drive?

I am slowly getting people to try RDI 9!
<Big Smile>

Step-one, get it installed on their work laptop with the latest service pack...
