Re: Installation Manager

After starting Installation Manager with admin privs, I just now tried
adding these two repositories to my preferences and was immediately hit
with CRIMC1085E, CRIMC1084E, and CRIMC1083E errors. Is this firewall? If
yes, is there an alternative to updating these products? (The more
automated, the better.)

The following repositories are not connected:
-
https://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.rational.developer.ibmi.v90
-https://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.offering.rdpower.v90

CRIMC1085E: Resumable download failed for:
https://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.rational.developer.ibmi.v90/repository.xml
.
CRIMC1083E: Failed to retrieve '
https://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.rational.developer.ibmi.v90/repository.xml
'.
CRIMC1084E: An exception is thrown while retrieving the file '
https://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.rational.developer.ibmi.v90/repository.xml'
to
'C:\Users\DANBAL~1.ADM\AppData\Local\Temp\cicdip_dan.bale.admin\1426615173531\nf\cicURLLrepository.xml7094677097268487016xml'.

This issue can occur for different reasons. You might have an issue
with your network connection. If you retrieve the file from a machine or
network in your environment, the file system might be mounted incorrectly.
On AIX, when you install from a file system that is mounted with the 'cio'
option, the installation fails with the exception: A system call received a
parameter that is not valid.

Verify your network connection. If you retrieve the files from your
environment, copy the source files to a different file system and install
from that file system.

Well...

The trial contains IBM Installation Manager which has embedded within it
the repository URL for the version of software you are installing. IM
installs several different pieces of IBM / Rational software; it's not
just for RDi. Anyway, you've _always_ used IM and repositories to
install RDi and it was under the covers so to speak.

Once running, the first thing to check is the version of IM. IM always
wants to upgrade itself to the latest version. Help > About tells me
that my IM is at 1.8.1.

My list includes RDi 7.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.1 as well as Data Studio 3.6 and
4.2 For 9.0, I see

https://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.rational.developer.ibmi.v90
https://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.offering.rdpower.v90

...and they are both unchecked and greyed out. When I check them and
click on the 'Test Connections' button, I get a verification that all
the selected repositories are connected. Apply, then OK and you should
be able to Install the 'new' 9.0 (it'll be new to your machine, I guess).
