Exporting a list of software update sites

You can export one or more update sites to a file by using the Available Software Sites pane in the Preferences window. The file can then be imported into another instance of the product.

Procedure

  1. Use the appropriate method to open the Preferences window:
    • Windows or Linux: Click Windows > Preferences on the workbench menu bar.
    • OS X: Click IBM Explorer for z/OS > Preferences on the main menu.
  2. In the Preferences window, expand Install/Update and click Available Software Sites.

    Note: Do not use the check boxes to select the required software update sites. Any check box selections on this pane are ignored for this action.
  4. Click Export.
  5. In the Export Sites dialog, select a destination for the exported file. You can provide a new file name or keep the default name.
  6. Click Save.
