Using the Software AG Installer.
Software AG strongly recommends that you create installation images of your products and store them on your internal network. Create an image for each operating system on which you plan to install that is covered by your license agreement. Storing images enables you to ensure consistency across installations over time; the installer provides only the latest product releases, while installation images contain the product releases you download into them. In addition, installing from images helps you reduce WAN traffic and improve installation speeds. For instructions on creating images, see
Using the Software AG Installer.

AIX zlib v1.2.12 breaks installer image file handling
On AIX 7.2(.5.3), after installing zlib library version 1.2.12 from OpenSource Toolbox, the extraction of a particular zip file with a simple Java program fails with following error: invalid entry CRC (expected 0xafdd8e3a but got 0x960086d8)

LIBPATH=/usr/lib:/lib export LIBPATH
