Re: Installation Manager appears to hang when trying toapply updates from downloaded .ZIP files -- WDSCI-L

For 1), I sent a note to IM team and is waiting for their answer;
For 2), this is from the IM doc:

Silent installation preference commands
While you typically specify preferences using the Preferences window, you
can also specify preferences (identified as keys) in a response file for
use during a silent installation.
Note: You can specify more than one preference in a response file.
When you define preferences in a response file, your XML code will look
similar to the following example:
<preference>
name = ?the key of the preference?
value = ?the value of the preference to be set?
</preference>
Use the following table to identify keys and their associated values for
silent installation preferences:
com.ibm.cic.agent.core.pref.offering.service. repositories.areUsed
True or False
Change this preference to 'False' to disable it. When 'True', all linked
repositories will be searched when products are installed or updated.

Thanks.

Re: [WDSCI-L] Installation Manager appears to hang when trying toapply

Chenghui,

Thanks for the info!

A couple of other questions,
1) Why didn't IM give up in a reasonable amount of time and just look at
the local repositories?
2) Can I uncheck the "Search service repositories during installation and
updates" checkbox somehow
during the installation of IM when using a response file for a silent
install?

Thanks again!
Charles

Once you have added both the WDSC and IM update local
repository to the repositories list, you can disable IM from
searching the IBM update sites by unchecking "Search service
repositories during installation and updates" checkbox in
File->Preferences dialog. IM will then only use the local
repositories.

When there's a new update available, if you allow IM to check
the site, IM will show the new update.

Thanks.

[WDSCI-L] Installation Manager appears to hang when trying to apply
updates from downloaded .ZIP files

All,

I downloaded the .ZIP file updates for WDSCi v7 (and IM itself) and
followed the instructions to add
the local repositories to IM.

When I clicked the Update Products, IM appeared to hang.

After multiple restarts and a couple of reboots, I had a thought....

I went in and configured IM to use our proxy server.

Afterward, the updates went smoothly.

Questions:
1) Why does IM insist on going outside our LAN when local
repositories
have been defined?
2) Can I force it to not go outside our LAN?

IIRC, with v6, it would only look at either the default IBM
site or the
local update site we had
configured. I'd like to set up v7 to work the same way.
Otherwise, I
have to configure all the
developers' IM to go through the proxy. Also, with IM going
to the IBM
site, will it show new updates
that I haven't yet had a chance to test and download to our local
repository? If so, then I'm losing
some of the control we need.

Thanks,

Charles Wilt
