Before you use the Installation Manager to install or update
packages, you can set certain user preferences that control the characteristics
of your environment. You can find the Preferences dialog
box from the main File menu under File > Preferences.
Adding repository locations
A repository is a location where data that is required
for installing or updating packages is stored. By default, IBM® Installation Manager uses a
URL that is embedded in each product package to connect to a repository
server through the Internet and to search for installation packages
and new features. Your organization might require you to redirect
the repository to use intranet sites. You can add repository locations
on the Repositories page of the Preferences window.
Setting rollback preferences
Use the rollback feature to revert an updated package back
to a previous version. To complete the rollback, Installation Manager
requires information from the earlier version of the package. Some
packages do not support rollback.
