Javaria Hameed (40●38●47) | asked Jan 22 '14, 4:50 a.m.

I have downloaded RSADM client version 3.0 and every time I attempt to install client, IBM IM prompts same error:

Repository G:\RSADM_clients\disk1\ad cannot be opened directly. it must be opened thru disk 1 at G:\RSADM_clients\disk1\

i downloaded several times but no gain. Basically, I want to connect my RSA to DM server. There is no DESIGN EXPLORER is seen in my RSA. Import engine is configured and started though.

Hi Javaria,

I don't know the RSADM, but in generall the IBM Rational installation follows this way:
- download and install IBM InstallationManager
- download and install the IBM PackagingUtility
- download the *.zips of RSADM
- create a repository using the Packaging Utility and copy the RSADM files via Packaging Utility to this repository
- install the RSADM via InstallationManager using the created repository.

greetings georg.

Hi,
Using the package utility is one option but a requirement.
From Installation Manager, it should be enough to add a new repository pointing to
...\RSADM_Client\disk1\diskTag.inf.
If this does not work, please verify the download and the unzipping of the files.
Javaria, may be you can post of screenshot of what you have downloaded and zipped.
Thanks,
François
