About this task
Some organizations bundle and host their own product packages
on their intranet. Your system administrators will need to provide
you with the correct URL. By default, Installation Manager uses an
embedded URL in each
Rational® software
delivery product to connect to a repository server over the Internet.
Installation
Manager then
searches for the product packages as well as new features.
When
you start the installation from the launchpad, the location of the
repository that contains the product package you are installing is
automatically defined in Installation
Manager when
it starts. However, if you start Installation
Manager directly
(for example, installing Rational Test Workbench Mobile
Test Edition from
a repository located on a web server) then you must specify the repository
preference (the URL for the directory that contains the product package)
in Installation
Manager before
you can install the product package.
Specify
these repository locations on the Repositories page of the Preferences
window. By default,
Installation
Manager uses
an embedded URL in each
Rational software
development product to connect to a repository server through the
Internet and search for installable packages and new features. Your
organization might require you to redirect the repository to use intranet
sites.
Note: If you are installing from a remote server, before starting
the installation process, be sure to obtain the installation package
repository URL from your administrator.
