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:
- On the Start page of Installation Manager, click ,
and then click Repositories. The Repositories
page opens, showing any available repositories, their locations, and whether
or not they are accessible.
- On the Repositories page, click Add
Repository.
- 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.
- 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.
