Installing Rational Application Developer Build Utility
The build utility can be used to execute builds on a build server without having RAD v7.5, WebSphere Application Server or Portal Server installed. It does not contain any user interface code, and it allows you to create ANT scripts for running the available Ant Tasks in headless mode.
The build utility maintains three sets of two archives, for the operating systems: Windows, Linux, or z/OS.
Here we show only how to install on Windows the core files and the WebSphere Application Server v7 stub files. The corresponding sources can be found in the download image: C1LY0ML (IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Build Utility V7.5 Multilingual Multiplatform Part 2). For a complete description of the other platforms and supported application servers, see the product Help under: Installing and Upgrading Æ Installing Supporting Software Æ Installing Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software build utility.
| From the electronic image #2 or CD #2, extract the following files to a temporary directory: |
RAD-75_BuildUtility_v70Stub_windows-<yyyymmdd_tttt>.zip
RAD-75_BuildUtility_windows-<yyyymmdd_tttt>.zip
|
| Unzip the files to a root directory of your choice. We recommend that you select a root directory with a short path without any spaces (such as, C:\IBM), otherwise the sample in BuildUtility\eclipse\samples\AutoBuild will fail. |
The archives create the following directory structure:
<root>/BuildUtility/eclipse | core installation files)
<root>/BuildUtility/runtimes (WebSphere Application Server v7.0 stub files)
