Setting repository preferences

By default, IBM Installation Manager uses an embedded URL in each product package to connect to a repository server through the Internet and search for available install packages as well as new features. You can set these repository locations on the Repositories page of the Preferences window. Your organization may require you to redirect the repository to use intranet sites.
Note: Before starting the installation process, be sure to obtain the installation package repository URL from your administrator or IBM.
To add, edit or remove a repository location:
  1. On the Start page of Installation Manager, click File > Preferences, and then click Repositories. The Repositories page opens, showing any available repositories, their locations, and whether or not they are accessible.
  2. On the Repositories page, click Add Repository.
  3. On the Add repository window, enter the URL of the repository location or browse to it and enter a file path, and then click OK. The new or changed repository location is listed. If the repository is not connected, a red x is displayed in the Connection column.
  4. Click OK to close the Preference page.
Note: To search for package updates in connected repositories, make sure the Search the linked repositories during installation and updates is selected. Note, this is selected by default.
