Rational Product Updater overview

Rational® Product Updater is a tool that keeps track of all Rational software development products installed on your system and searches for and installs product updates and optional new features.

Product Updater is installed automatically along with the first Rational software development product that you install. All subsequent Rational software development products that you install are automatically registered with this tool. For these products, you can search for and automatically install the following kinds of updates: Any dependencies between updates are automatically enforced. If for some reason you decide to remove an update that you have installed, the Product Updater can roll back the update.

Product Updater allows you to manage updates to all of your Rational software development products from a single location. It will even update itself.
