Configuring deployment Configuring deployment of IBM Rational Rose requires that you understand the types of deployment methods available. You can then select the appropriate deployment type for your users and configure your software for the selected deployment method. Selecting a deployment method The IBM Rational Setup wizard supports several deployment methods. If you are planning the product installation for your work environment; select the deployment type that is most efficient for you and your users. Table 2 describes each deployment type. Table 2. Deployment methods Deployment type Installation from the IBM Rational Rose CD Installation from a Web download Enterprise Deployment Description In the Setup wizard, choose this option if you want to install the product directly from the IBM Rational Rose CD by using the Setup wizard. This method is not available in the Setup wizard. Each user can download the product from the IBM Rational Licensing and Download center, as follows: 1. Go to http://www.lotus.com/services/cwepassport.nsf /wdocs/pacustomers to enroll in the Passport Advantage® Program. This site provides all the necessary information for purchasing and downloading IBM Rational Software online. 2. Once you are a Passport Advantage member, visit http://www.ibm.com/software/howtobuy /passportadvantage/paocustomer/ to purchase and download Rational products. In the Setup wizard, choose this option to create a network release area and customize the product installation. This option enables multiple clients to install from a designated release area. The site defaults file created by the administrator with the Setup wizard allows users to either install predefined configurations of the product or install the product with different default settings. You can use one or more site defaults files to support a variety of users. When a fix pack becomes available, it can be applied to the release area, and users can reinstall from the updated release area. Silent installation For more information, see "Creating a release area and site defaults file" on page 10. This method is not available in the Setup wizard. It is an option for performing unattended installations. A silent installation does not require users to select options or make decisions. Silent installations ensure that all users have the same products, features, and options on their desktops. These installations can reduce your work as you deploy a product in your development environment. For more information, see "Setting up silent installations of IBM Rational products" on page 13.
