Re: Running updater from command line

I also find the update manager does a swell job.  I just open up the
Rational Product Updater, select the "Updates" tab, and I usually get
the following error:

Network connection problems encountered during search.
Unable to access
"http://www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/updater/60/
update/site.xml".
Error parsing site stream. [An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x5c) was
found in the public identifier.]

So then, I just open a web browser, plug in the address from the error,
and see that I successfully get to the document it is referencing, which
doesn't look like much in the web browser, but that's not important.

Then I minimize the web browser, go back to the update manager and click
the update tab again.  This time it brings me any available updates, and
I can just follow the normal procedure to install them from there.

HTH,

Greg

|How did you do it, Adam? Did you use the procedure described by Mark
