I have been fighting a losing battle with updating WDSC - I have given up, frankly, in disgust and deep dudgeon. In the process, I was told the update site is down. Not sure if that is causing your problem.

It is a long story, but IBM has finally left me despairing of ever updating this ()(*&)#!!! The difficulties of doing this are a huge reason that people hate this product - I was beginning to appreciate and ever support its use - I still will use it but will not waste any more precious development time to try to get past where I am.

As to doing the mirror site, that mess had bad links - even to some user in Toronto, as I recall - it made a complete mess for me.

Feeling angry and enraged and not ready to believe that I am stupid!!!

I am trying to setup a 'mirror site' for downloading updates for WDSCi,
following the instructions of Mark Phippard (see thread
http://archive.midrange.com/wdsci-l/200602/msg00378.html for details).

I have added some command line parameters to the java command, because I
am behind a firewall. One of the commands now looks like this:

java -cp startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -Dhttp.proxySet=true
-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.lb.abbott.corp -Dhttp.proxyPort=80 -application
org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command mirror -from
http://www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/updater/60/update
-to %drive%\%local% -mirrorURL %url%/site.xml

I am sure that the proxyHost and proxyPort settings are correct. When I
use these values in Rational Product Updater, the search process completes
normally. When I make a change to the values, the process terminates with
an error.

Nevertheless, when I run the above command, I get an error. In the command
window itself, the following message is displayed:

PolicyClassLoader could not find policy
com.ibm.jxesupport.JxeClassLoaderpolicy
Analyzing features already mirrored ... Done.
Command failed. Please check log file [...] for details.

The first message in the command window seems troubling, but the second
message seems to be more promising. But, the last message again indicates
trouble. The contents of the log file is as follows:

(I have also tried a version with -Dhttp.proxyEnabled=true instead of
-Dhttp.proxySet=true.)

I don't know what's causing the error, given that the proxy-settings seem
to be okay. Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks in advance,

Ewout
