Re: Rational Updater

Mark,

Great instructions, the initial mirroring is downloading as I write
this.

One question, I noticed the following:
 Downloading feature archives for com.ibm.orca.product.updater_6.0.1.0h
...
 Downloading plug-in archives for com.ibm.orca.product.updater_6.0.1.0h
...
Command failed. Please check log file C:\Documents and
Settings\cwilt\IBM\ration
alsdp6.0\workspace\.metadata\.log for details.

In the log file, named above I see:

Is this something I need be concerned about?

Also, can Softlanding's RSE Extensions be pushed out via the local
update site I'm setting up?

Thanks,
