Requirements
Before installing Update Manager, consider the following requirements:
Install
Update Manager on the same machine that hosts the
Software AG product installations, for which you want to manage fix updates or install support patches.
Update Manager supports managing fixes and support patches for
Software AG product installations of release version 10.5 or higher.
You can install
Software AG as a user with no administrative rights in any directory that is not controlled by the system. Do not install
Software AG in a system-controlled directory such as Program Files.
If you are going to install on a UNIX system, create a non-root user account for performing the installation and install as that user. The installation user will own all files you install.
If you want to use the graphic user interface of
Software AG on a Unix system, the Unix system must have an X Windows environment.
The performance of the products installed on your environment is related to the available hardware resources. Running
Software AG Update Manager with limited hardware resources might affect the performance of the product, for example, when running
Update Manager on a system with a single CPU core. Performance might be affected when running
Update Manager simultaneously with other installed products and/or antivirus programs.
Before installing
Update Manager on AIX, make sure that the 'XL C++ Runtime' package is installed (version 16.1.0.9 or higher). To check whether the required package is installed, you can run the following command (example for AIX 7.2):
$ lslpp -l|grep 'C++ Runtime'
libc++.rte 16.1.0.9 COMMITTED IBM XL C++ Runtime for AIX 7.1
xlC.aix61.rte 16.1.0.9 COMMITTED IBM XL C++ Runtime for AIX 6.1
xlC.msg.Ja_JP.rte 16.1.0.8 COMMITTED IBM XL C++ Runtime
xlC.msg.en_US.rte 16.1.0.8 COMMITTED IBM XL C++ Runtime
xlC.msg.ja_JP.rte 16.1.0.8 COMMITTED IBM XL C++ Runtime
xlC.rte 16.1.0.9 COMMITTED IBM XL C++ Runtime for AIX
xlC.sup.aix50.rte 9.0.0.1 COMMITTED XL C/C++ Runtime for AIX 5.2
Important:
If one of the packages is not installed successfully, for example the most important package 'libc++.rte', you must download 'Rational, XL C++ Runtime' (16.1.0.9 or higher version) from the IBM Fix Central and install it.
