Re: [WDSCI-L] WDSC 5.1 Software Upgrades?

["Mark Phippard" <MarkP@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Generally, the only time there would be issues with Install/Update is if
your network uses a proxy to access the Internet.  If this is the case,
then you have to configure the proxy settings in the Preferences.  Also, as
others have pointed out, it does not work with all Proxies, specifically
the one from Microsoft.  This is one of the downsides in general of using
proxies for Internet access.

If you just have a Firewall/NAT scenario then Install/Update works
seamlessly.

If you cannot get it working it is possible to download the fixes manually
from IBM's support site.  They can then be installed via the Install/Update
perspective using a local update site.

If you have 50 systems to update, it might be worth doing this anyway so
that you do not have to download the same thing 50 times.  In the past I
have even out all of the updates in one location and served them back up
internally using Apache.  This is just a little easier to setup as an
update site than doing it locally for a large number of clients.  It also
gives you some control as to when to apply the updates.

Hi,

I just had WDSC 5.1 installed on my PC and have been trying to test it out
- RSE and Code is what my company is focusing on toolwise.  We are going
to start rolling it out to about 50 other developers so I need to make
sure the product is stable and working correctly.   I am confused as to
what local fixes I need to install and how to get and apply them
correctly.  I read a previous posting that talked about WDSC 5.1fixes but
I cannot access the software updates from the IBM website.  From RSE, I've
done the Help - Software Updates - New Updates but it keeps saying it has
a network connection problem.  I've also tried the search for updates from
the Install/Update perspective - gets same network connection error.  I've
seen some reference to the fact that connection problems like mine may be
related to the preferences I have set up.  When I look under
Install/Update at Window - Preferences, just what am I supposed to change
about the preferences to get this connection to work???  Also, the
operations group here already had applied 2 PTFs on the host AS/400
(SI09609 and SI08594) but I'd be curious if anyone has a definitive list
of which host PTF numbers are needed for WDSC 5.1?

Any help anyone can offer would me very much appreciated!  I'm new to WDSC
so it's already been a frustrating learning experience!

Thanks alot,
