You need to do it with the IBM Installation Manager. Don't use the RDi
updater. Within IM, go to File-Preferences and select Repositories. Add
the diskTag.inf file location as a repository location. I'd also add the
base install location if you have that to avoid the disk inserting
messages. ALSO! Important when installing a local update, you need to
uncheck the "Search service repositories during installation and updates"
check box, otherwise, IM will want to use the internet instead of your
local update. I'm not 100% sure about that last part, but the one guy that
installed this way kept having to enter his IBM ID, which he didn't have,
until we check marked that box. After that the update ran fine.

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...

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...
