The upgrade is asking for the disk1 because you must have installed

from a

downloaded installer image (which contains at least disk1). When you

plug

in the repository it should look there for the required files.

ask for

DISK1? I have no disk's.

If you wish to use the remote repository location then you need to

program

it into the IM config as a repository in the IM preferences. I

don't

know

that providing a remote repository URL as a local disk location

would be

handled correctly by IM.

Hi Marco,

Just to be clear--this may already have been covered.

You've gone into 'File', 'Preferences' and added
https://www-912.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.rational.developer..ibmi.v95
as a repository location?

Also I'm not positive, but I believe 9.5.1 is not an update to 9.5.0.x but
rather a new installation. (I haven't had time to begin checking it out
yet.) If I'm correct, you'll need to select 'Install' in IM rather than
'Update'. I usually copy my workspace to a new folder before I launch a
new installation the first time. Then when it prompts for the workspace
location, I point it to the new copy. That way I can easily fall back to
the old version if I need to check something or find a problem that I
don't have time to work around in the new.
