v If you select Use the standard configuration, the features for the existing site default values are used for the installation. To begin the installation, click Next and then click Install . 6. If files required for the installation are in use while the Setup wizard is running and shared components must be installed, the Setup wizard may need to restart your computer. If so, a Restart Windows page opens. Select Restart or Don't Restart. If you select Don't Restart, the wizard reminds you that the installation cannot complete until Windows restarts. The second part of the installation process starts after you log on. 7. When the Setup Complete page opens, review the current information related to new features and known issues in the readme file. In addition, you can view the IBM developerWorks Web pages. Click Finish to complete the installation. Running the Site Preparation Wizard to create multiple site defaults files In some cases, your site might require multiple site defaults files. For example, if several users use Rational Rose but need to work with different default settings (such as Rational Rose features), you can create one site defaults file for each group of users. To create multiple site defaults for a release area: 1. Create the initial release area as described in "Using the Setup Wizard to create a release area and site defaults file" on page 10. Set up this area with the site-specific parameters needed by the first group of users. 2. Open the site defaults file created in Step 1 (sitedefs.dat, for instance) by clicking File > Open. The Site Preparation wizard displays the values set in sitedefs.dat. Keep the values that apply to both groups and change the values to meet the needs of the second group. 3. Click File > Save as to save a new site defaults file. You are prompted to enter a file name and folder for the new site defaults file. v If you started the site preparation on the command line and specified a file-name argument for the site defaults file (for example, sitedefs.dat) the Folder and File name fields include this information. You can save the modified site defaults files with a new file name, for example sitedefs_roseclient.dat. v If no file name was specified, the File name field is blank. Type a file name that does not currently exist in the release area. If you enter the name of an existing site defaults file, a warning message opens. You can overwrite the existing file or specify a different file name to create a new site defaults file. You can create additional site defaults files in this way. Setting up silent installations of IBM Rational products Silent installation is a method of installing Rational products on client computers without intervention from users. It greatly reduces the work of an administrator during a deployment. It also ensures that the correct software configuration is installed on each server and desktop. This section describes how to set up and test the performance of a silent installation. Chapter 2. Configuring the installation 13

Running
the
Site
Preparation
Wizard
to
create
multiple
site
defaults
files
In
some
cases,
your
site
might
require
multiple
site
defaults
files.
For
example,
if
several
users
use
Rational
Rose
but
need
to
work
with
different
default
settings
(such
as
Rational
Rose
features),
you
can
create
one
site
defaults
file
for
each
group
of
users.
To
create
multiple
site
defaults
for
a
release
area:
1.
Create
the
initial
release
area
as
described
in
“Using
the
Setup
Wizard
to
create
a
release
area
and
site
defaults
file”
on
page
10.
Set
up
this
area
with
the
site-specific
parameters
needed
by
the
first
group
of
users.
2.
Open
the
site
defaults
file
created
in
Step
1
(sitedefs.dat,
for
instance)
by
clicking
File
>
Open
.
The
Site
Preparation
wizard
displays
the
values
set
in
sitedefs.dat.
Keep
the
values
that
apply
to
both
groups
and
change
the
values
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
second
group.
3.
Click
File
>
Save
as
to
save
a
new
site
defaults
file.
You
are
prompted
to
enter
a
file
name
and
folder
for
the
new
site
defaults
file.
v
If
you
started
the
site
preparation
on
the
command
line
and
specified
a
file-name
argument
for
the
site
defaults
file
(for
example,
sitedefs.dat)
the
Folder
and
File
name
fields
include
this
information.
You
can
save
the
modified
site
defaults
files
with
a
new
file
name,
for
example
sitedefs_roseclient.dat
.
v
If
no
file
name
was
specified,
the
File
name
field
is
blank.
Type
a
file
name
that
does
not
currently
exist
in
the
release
area.
If
you
enter
the
name
of
an
existing
site
defaults
file,
a
warning
message
opens.
You
can
overwrite
the
existing
file
or
specify
a
different
file
name
to
create
a
new
site
defaults
file.
You
can
create
additional
site
defaults
files
in
this
way.
