RAD

▮ Eclipse: an open source integrated development environment (IDE)

▮ Rational Application Developer based on Eclipse

▮ Lots of files: will take up 2.5 gig of space or more, need 6 gig to install

▮ Get RAD from Black Board Course Content area


Download and save all 11 files:CZL0EML, RAD_WS_8.0_ 1 through 5, RAD_WS_8.0_ Master, RAD_WS_8.0_TE_8.0_ 1 through 3, RAD_v80_Activation Kit

To a folder (I suggest you call it RAD8zipfiles)

Depending on your home Internet connection this could take a

looooooooooong time..


After downloading you should have these files

Unzip/Extract each file, one at a time to a single folder (I suggest creating a folder called RAD8 to hold the unzipped

files and folders)


After unzipping, RAD8 should have 3 folders:

RAD, RAD_SETUP, WAS80 And 2 files: RAD80lic.jar and a text file


The RAD folder should have these folders

RAD


The WAS80 folder should have these

If any of the folders/files are missing, verify that you downloaded all 11 zip

files, their sizes are the same as shown in the slide, you unzipped all 11 to the

same folder


Go into RAD_SETUP (your files and folders should look like this) and right click launchpad.exe and select Run as

administrator


At the pop up window, select a language and click Install IBM RAD for WebSphere


Have to install the Installation Manager first

Make sure the above are selected, click Next

Installing RAD

▮ If you get an option for 32 or 64 bit choose 32 bit

▮ Why?

▮ Labs are all 32 bit

▮ 32 bit apps can run on 64 bit RAD installations but not the reverse▮ If you bring up the app on a 64 bit

installation you will have trouble trying to rerun on a 32 bit


At Summary window, click InstallThis will take a while

folder) to hold all your work.RAD will create the folder if it doesn’t

exist If you will be working at different

Possible RAD Install Problems

▮ You don’t have administrator authority on the computer

▮ Things like the registry will be updated and this requires administrator authority

▮ There is firewall/anti-virus s/w preventing the install

▮ Disable the s/w and try to install again


Possible Problems

▮ Zip file(s) download was interrupted

▮ Compare sizes of files in slide 3 to the sizes of your zip files

▮ All files weren’t unzipped into the same directory/folder

▮ The installation s/w will search for the folders in the same folder that the RAD_SETUP folder is in


Possible Problems Starting RAD

▮ If you get this, try changing eclipse.ini contents to:(-XX:MaxPermSize=256M-vmargs-Xms40m-Xmx768m)
