Installation considerations

Part of planning entails making decisions about installation locations, working with other applications, extending Eclipse, upgrading, migrating, and configuring help content.

• Plan what features to install
  You can customize your software product by selecting which features of Rational Functional Tester to install.

• Installation location
  When you install the Rational Functional Tester package using IBM Installation Manager, choose a package group and a shared resource directory.

• Upgrade and coexistence considerations
  If you have a previous version of the product, or if you plan to install multiple Rational Software Delivery Platform products on the same workstation, review the information in this section.

• Installation repositories
  IBM Installation Manager retrieves product packages from specified repository locations.

• Web-based help content
  Your help system is configured to use remote help so that you can pull in content from the Web dynamically. With remote help, you always have the latest content available from within your product. Some help systems are not configured to access help content on the Web; in such cases, help content is included with the installation.
