HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

Creating a network repository

About this task

This scenario is valid only for master domain manager or dynamic domain manager and their backups, or Dynamic Workload Console that are installed by using the Installation Manager infrastructure.

Use the Installation Manager Package Utility to create the HCL Workload Automation eImages in network repository format. For more information about the Package Utility wizard, see Installation Manager > Installing> Managing packages with Packaging Utility in the Installation Manager Information center https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSDV2W/im_family_welcome.html.

After you use the Packaging Utility to create a repository from the ESD images, you can use the Installation Manager to define this location as a repository. You can save the repository on a UNC drive on Windows operating systems or on a web server to make the directories and files available over HTTP.

To create an HCL Workload Automation network repository, perform the following procedure:
  1. Download the eImages as described in Downloading installation images on your workstation.
  2. Install Installation Manager on your workstation.
  3. Install the Package Utility using Installation Manager on your workstation.
  4. To create the ESD images in network format, run the following steps:
    1. Start the Package Utility.
    2. Click Point to the ESD image.
    3. Run the wizard. For more information about the Package Utility wizard, see Installation Manager > Installing> Managing packages with Packaging Utility.
After you created a repository in network format, define this location as anInstallation Manager repository. To add a repository, run the following steps:
  1. Open the Installation Manager wizard.
  2. Select File > Preferences. The Repositories page is displayed and shows available repositories, repository locations, and the connection status for the repositories.
  3. Select Add Repository. The Add Repository page is displayed.
  4. Enter the repository location or select Browse.
  5. Go to the repository location where you saved the eImages content in network format and select the URL related to the product that you want to install.
  6. Click OK. If you provided an HTTPS or restricted FTP repository location, you are prompted to enter a user ID and password. The new repository location is added to the list. If the repository is not connected, a red box is shown in the Connection column.
  7. Click OK.
