Re: WDSC 7.0.0.2 still requires 800MB downloadfromInternet

Joe,

I think the answer was buried in Eric's reply....

When installing the 7.0.0.2 update, you need "something" from the original install.

This "something" comes from one of three places:
1) A locally defined repository
2) The IBM repository on the web
3) The original CD's.

If you're always going to download the zip, consider turning off the IBM repository.

HTH,
Charles

Joe,

You could try going into the Preferences for Installation

Manager and

deselecting any repositories defined and the checkbox at the bottom
which says to search service repositories.

Why would I do that, though, Eric? Is that the correct
procedure? Was there documentation I missed somewhere? Why
did Installation Manager get stuff from the Internet in the
first place? Does it search local repositories first, and
only get what's missing from the Internet? If so, then why
was stuff missing in the 7.0.0.2 zip? If not, then why did
it use anything from the ZIP file at all?

Why, after downloading the entire 1.05GB of ZIP file and
following the instructions on the website did Installation
Manager install 745MB from my local repository and download
810MB from the Internet? Did anybody test this procedure?

No offense, Eric, but I don't really want to "try" anything.
I'd like to know what happened, and why, and I'd like
specific instructions to avoid it in the future.

Joe
