I've gotten a few questions internally regarding the 'OFFLINE' installation options for the Rocket DevOps Portal (RDO or RDOp) application on IBM i.
The use of open source applications on IBM i is still new to many of us.
Here is a quick demo of the steps outlined in the guide for retrieving, uploading and then installing the open systems packages required for the IBM i version of the RDO Portal without requiring IBM i access to the internet (see the guide for your version for specific URLs and recommended steps).
In this quick video demo, you'll see:
- Browse the IBM i Open Source package download site.
- Download required files as noted in the Installation Guide to your workstation
- Use WinSCP to transfer the files to the IBM i Integrated Files System (IFS)
- Confirm the upload location path and contents in the IFS (WRKLNK or via SSH with PuTTY)
- Start the RDO installer (LODRUN)
- Select the 'OFFLINE' installation option and specify the IFS path to the packages
Please let us know if you have any questions on the demo or the guide steps.
We look forward to your feedback on the Rocket DevOps Portal.
Tell us what you'd like to see next!
Best,
