Re: enterprise method to keep wdsc 6 updated?

I have tried the local mirror thing. It works mostly, but I found it still daunting to set up, the instructions are not always clear, and it does not always seem to work. Other than that, no problem! ;-)
But I will still use it, although I don't know why we have to go into policy files and modify stuff that could probably have been computer-generated. And have to change text that is supposed to be "example" paths but would be better as real paths. And outright errors, like items that refer to someplace in Toronto. Yes, things happen, but this looks like a not-quite-done effort.
BTW, the WDSC part is not included with the Rational part, so you have to fight with that. I did reach some success merging the two, but I'm not completely happy.
It seems no one in this open source world knows about large isntallations - call that more than 1! 

OK, I'm done - for now!
No, not yet - do give it a try, but expect it to take some time. And expect to go to the real site once in awhile to verify what you have. I found I did the large item locally and then checked for sure at the default IBM site. 

Good luck!

You might want to look into creating a local mirror of the updates.

I found some information on doing this when I as getting the really big
update today.
