Synchronizing with imported packages
After you import an existing package in to IBM® Installation Manager,
the Installation
Manager data
might need to be updated with new information about the imported package
if changes are made to the package by using a tool other than Installation
Manager.
Before you begin
Important: To keep imported packages synchronized
with Installation
Manager,
you must configure repository connections correctly and verify that
you can access the network or repository media.

Procedure
- Follow the procedure described in Importing installed packages in Installation Manager to import the package.
