Setting repository preferences in Installation Manager
If you start Installation Manager directly (for example from a repository located on a web server), you must specify the URL for the directory that contains the product package in Installation Manager before you can install the product package.
By default, Installation Manager uses an embedded URL in each software development product to connect to a repository server through the Internet and search for installable packages and new features. Your organization may require you to redirect the repository to use intranet sites.
If not installing from DVD or a local installation image, obtain the installation package repository URL from your administrator before starting the installation process.
To add, edit, or remove a repository location in Installation Manager:
Procedure
- Start Installation Manager.
- On the Start page of Installation Manager, click File > Preferences, and then click Repositories. The Repositories page opens, showing any available repositories, their locations, and whether they are accessible.
- On the Repositories page, click Add Repository.
- In the Add repository window, type the URL of the repository location or browse to it and set a file path. The repository location is typically image_directory/repository.config, where image_directory contains the extracted installation image of the product you want to install.
- Click OK. The new or changed repository location is listed. If the repository is not accessible, a red x is displayed in the Accessible column.
- Click OK to exit.
What to do next
If you want the Installation Manager to search the default repository locations for the installed packages, ensure that the Search service repositories during installation and updates preference on the Repositories preference page is selected.
