Before you begin

  • Ensure that you install the copy of Rational Application Developer that is bundled with HCL Commerce. Obtaining Rational Application Developer separately results in a trial version that requires the purchase of a license.
  • If you do not have the Rational Application Developer software, then download the eAssembly.
  • Download and install the latest version of IBM Installation Manager (version 1.10.x.x or later). Earlier versions might not support installation of Rational Application Developer 9.7.
  • (Optional) Update your existing Installation Manager to a later version if required. To install a later version of Installation Manager over an existing version, see Updating the IBM Installation Manager.
    1. Log in to My HCLSoftware portal.

      • RAD_WS_9.7_Activation_Kit.zip
      • RAD_WS_9.7_core1.zip
      • RAD_WS_9.7_core2.zip
      • RAD_WS_9.7_Master.zip
    3. Download all parts and extract the files.
    4. Unzip RAD_WS_9.7_Master.zip to a folder (for example, C:\RAD_WS_9.7_Master\). Unzip RAD_WS_9.7_core1.zip and RAD_WS_9.7_core2.zip to separate folders (for example, RAD_WS_9.7_core1 and RAD_WS_9.7_core2). Then, copy the disk1 folder from RAD_WS_9.7_core1 and the disk2 folder from RAD_WS_9.7_core2 into the RAD_SETUP folder under RAD_WS_9.7_Master.
