Obtaining product repositories for installing the product on z/OS
IBM WebSphere Portal products are distributed as IBM Installation Manager repositories. These repositories contain the metadata and file required to create one or more levels of a particular product.
The initial repository for the WebSphere Portal product is installed using SMP/E. These SMP/E-installed product repositories are updated through normal service to include additional WebSphere Portal fix packs and feature packs as they become available. Fix packs, feature packs, and interim fixes can also be downloaded directly with the Installation Manager from a central IBM service website as needed.
Perform this procedure to obtain the repository for WebSphere Portal.
- If you ordered the WebSphere Portal product as part of a ServerPac or SystemPac , the WebSphere Portal product repository will already be installed.
Mount the repository at /usr/lpp/InstallationManagerRepository/HPTL800 or a location of the choice.
- If you ordered the WebSphere Portal product as part of a Custom-Built Product Delivery Offering (CBPDO), the Installation Manager installation kit will be included in the CBPDO as FMID HPTL800. Install this product following the instructions in the program directory.
Mount the repository at /usr/lpp/InstallationManagerRepository/HPTL800 or a location of the choice.
This repository contains the necessary files to install the product code.
When we use IBM Installation Manager to install WebSphere Portal, specify the path to the appropriate repository in the -repositories parameter of the imcl command.
