IBM Quick Deployer change default user parameters

Prior to running the UCD Install Applications application process you must run the Change Default User Parameters application process. Running the Change Default User Parameters application process allows you to change the default user / password combinations to match your system.

Once you know the user / password combinations for your system you can permanently change the default values by following the instruction in the Modify Change Default User Parameters Defaults wiki page.

Change default user parameters

1. Open application Rational_QD_60x and run process Change Default User Parameters on the target environment.
   
   
   
   
2. If you fixed the component versions on the process you will not be prompted to choose versions. If offered to choose the component versions, then select Latest Available.
   
   
   
   
3. Modify the process property default values to match your System.
