Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: RDi Web Update Issues

Eric,

Thanks for the information, however every URL you sent got mangled. I checked out the last one for the update site and that worked, so I saved it to check periodically.

Doug,

The RDi update site looked at by Installation Manager will go to https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.ibm.com_software_repositorymanager_com.ibm.rational.developer.ibmi.v96&d=DwICAg&c=jOURTkCZzT8tVB5xPEYIm3YJGoxoTaQsQPzPKJGaWbo&r=jFFsrfJukeI3_1504_25tcj_qfI1gv7BeeMsv5LMb1M&m=9N3CEIGJOQmTAXxA1GfdCotBtWtMzob8gSVnrUHTqaI&s=XQ59eBQXDInuXac7YsNjpI64oxNeoQpiw93zl2GZvOE&e=
.

This will end up resolving to something like https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www-2D147.ibm.com_software_repositorymanager_query_643e5e8e7c4321f3f3d046c5fe8b6579857231f95d670ebbe36f73d8367408b6db030912c145522f1e2e907ee4c464d4&d=DwICAg&c=jOURTkCZzT8tVB5xPEYIm3YJGoxoTaQsQPzPKJGaWbo&r=jFFsrfJukeI3_1504_25tcj_qfI1gv7BeeMsv5LMb1M&m=9N3CEIGJOQmTAXxA1GfdCotBtWtMzob8gSVnrUHTqaI&s=_R6GBo5hUtnM72iOnF_YYKssrgZi5mtIpmqtG3Bo3ME&e=
You check this by going to
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.ibm.com_software_repositorymanager_com.ibm.rational.developer.ibmi.v96&d=DwICAg&c=jOURTkCZzT8tVB5xPEYIm3YJGoxoTaQsQPzPKJGaWbo&r=jFFsrfJukeI3_1504_25tcj_qfI1gv7BeeMsv5LMb1M&m=9N3CEIGJOQmTAXxA1GfdCotBtWtMzob8gSVnrUHTqaI&s=XQ59eBQXDInuXac7YsNjpI64oxNeoQpiw93zl2GZvOE&e=
/repository.xml in a web browser.

This will show that the actual files will be served from something like https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__delivery04.dhe.ibm.com_&d=DwICAg&c=jOURTkCZzT8tVB5xPEYIm3YJGoxoTaQsQPzPKJGaWbo&r=jFFsrfJukeI3_1504_25tcj_qfI1gv7BeeMsv5LMb1M&m=9N3CEIGJOQmTAXxA1GfdCotBtWtMzob8gSVnrUHTqaI&s=gLm-c8xE2UoJPhXQl-IYuh1BKZDZO9YO7RGgGmbHQkA&e=...

Hope that helps but IBM will update its mechanisms periodically.

If unable to get web update working, the alternative is to download the fixpack zips. Links are available from https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www-2D01.ibm.com_support_docview.wss-3Fuid-3Dswg27038481&d=DwICAg&c=jOURTkCZzT8tVB5xPEYIm3YJGoxoTaQsQPzPKJGaWbo&r=jFFsrfJukeI3_1504_25tcj_qfI1gv7BeeMsv5LMb1M&m=9N3CEIGJOQmTAXxA1GfdCotBtWtMzob8gSVnrUHTqaI&s=GdbAnkQ8S82Ob_dAO7_QTEpiIHGc0ASEiOkkhvyEDE4&e=

Eric,

It is not a firewall issue but the app put in place to transform URLs from the normal https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.ibm.com&d=DwICAg&c=jOURTkCZzT8tVB5xPEYIm3YJGoxoTaQsQPzPKJGaWbo&r=jFFsrfJukeI3_1504_25tcj_qfI1gv7BeeMsv5LMb1M&m=9N3CEIGJOQmTAXxA1GfdCotBtWtMzob8gSVnrUHTqaI&s=2PP6JeCYkYjzpFsQ1AicaIeJjd7Kyz6s9hi0q5DyhC4&e= to https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__urldefense.proofpoint.www.ibm.com&d=DwICAg&c=jOURTkCZzT8tVB5xPEYIm3YJGoxoTaQsQPzPKJGaWbo&r=jFFsrfJukeI3_1504_25tcj_qfI1gv7BeeMsv5LMb1M&m=9N3CEIGJOQmTAXxA1GfdCotBtWtMzob8gSVnrUHTqaI&s=Nl7CKMpSmT469yaSxXoZI-RIkSBNlRojRrbJJtwkbWU&e=..
. (please see below). What I need is for someone to point out to me where these update URLs are in RDi because it only happens when I do and update software check.

Doug, what information are you looking for exactly? Can you allow everything from IBM?

I'm not network specialist for sure, and I'm not responsible or knowledgeable in anyway on by businesses network practices, so, please excuse my leyman terms in the following statement. I also had failure trouble with the IBM Installation Manager update for Rdi when we started using a "naughty filter". I believe that our network admin made some allowances that anything IBM would bypass some of that. With that done, it does still take a lot longer than I believe it should, but it eventually does work. I wonder if your organization might white list IBM somehow.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDi Web Update Issues

All,

I have been having issues with the update of RDi every since my company introduced a new protocol whereby all inbound and outbound links get changed to funnel through a 3rd party site ( https://urldefense.proofpoint.com...). The update fails for RDi when it tries to go through that 3rd party site with an "HTTP Method Not Allowed".
I've looked for the update information sites to correct/update them, however I am not finding it. I'm hoping someone knows where I can locate and update this information.

TIA
