Configuring the repository manager and repository server as a repository

You can obtain a repository for your InfoSphere® Optim™ solution by installing the repository manager and the repository server on a Linux or UNIX computer. Ensure that the ports that these components use are free, and install these components simultaneously, and these components work without additional configuration.

Before you install the repository manager and repository server on a computer, verify that the following ports are not already being used by other applications. If these ports are not in use on the computer, remove the ports from the list of reserved ports in the /etc/services file.

Plan to install the repository server at the same time that you install the repository manager or before you install the repository manager. You cannot install the repository manager before you install the repository server.

When the repository server is installed, an informix user account is created if such a user account did not exist. Use the informix user account to administer the repository when necessary.
