Re: Instructions needed for updating Information Manager from 1.7.3 to 1.8.7

If your IM is 1.7 then it won't be able to connect to the repository

The URL looks correct, not that there is no default file that a browser
would pick up in a repository so try adding /repository.config or something
like that...

Thanks Mike and Buck.
I tried to add
https://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.rational.developer.ibmi.v95
as a repository, but got a "could not connect" error. Pasted same into a
browser and got "Error 404: java.io.FileNotFoundException: SRVE0190E: File
not found: /com.ibm.rational.developer.ibmi.v95".

Got an alternate repository site?

My RDi was trashed and needs to be replaced.

For future reference, try creating a new workspace before re-
installing.

My Installation Manager v1.7.3 needs to be upgraded, so I got v1.8.7

from Fix Central, and have unzipped to a folder on my PC.

For me, the secret sauce is to let IM update itself.
Fire up your current version of IM (I do Run as Administrator).
File > Preferences > Updates.
Select the box to search for IM updates.

Check the repositories to make sure the 9.5 version is available.
File > Preferences > Repositories.
https://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.rational.develop
er.ibmi.v95
(all one line)
OK.

When at the main panel, click Install. IM should (ha!) update itself,
and then want a re-start. Then you get to try Install again, and it
should (ha! HA!) install RDi 9.5.
