You
can access the repositories on the product media. Use Installation
Manager to install IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0 from the
product repositories on the media.
- Download the files from the Passport Advantage® site, and use
local installation
Licensed customers with a Passport Advantage ID and password
can download the necessary repositories from the Passport Advantage site.
- Download the repositories from the Passport Advantage site.
- Use Installation Manager to install IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0 from the
downloaded repositories.
- Access the live repositories, and use web-based installation
If
you have a Passport
Advantage ID and password, you can use Installation Manager to
install IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology
Edition Version 7.0 from the web-based repositories. Use Installation
Manager to install IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0 from the
web-based repository located at
http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v70
Note: This
location does not contain a web page that you can access using a web
browser. This is a remote web-based repository location that you must
specify for the value of the -repositories parameter so that the imcl command
can access the files in this repository to install IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version
7.0.
Whenever possible, you should use the remote web-based
repositories so that you are accessing the most up-to-date installation
files.
Notes: - If you do not have a Passport
Advantage ID and password, you must install IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version
7.0 from the product repositories on the media or local repositories.
- With the Packaging Utility, you can create and manage packages
for installation repositories. You can copy multiple packages into
one repository or copy multiple disks for one product into a repository.
You can copy packages from Passport Advantage or a web-based
repository into a local repository for example. For more information
on the Packaging Utility, go to the IBM Installation
Manager Version 1.6 Information Center or the IBM Installation
Manager Version 1.5 Information Center.

About this task
Using Installation Manager, you can work with response
files to install IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.x in a variety
of ways. You can record a response file using the GUI as described
in the following procedure, or you can generate a new response file
by hand or by taking an example and modifying it.
The WebSphere Application Server
offering installation determines whether Installation Manager installs
a 32-bit or 64-bit version of IBMWebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.x. If the WebSphere Application Server
offering has a 32-bit version of IBMWebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 6.0 installed,
Installation Manager installs a 32-bit version of SDK Version 7.x.
If the WebSphere Application
Server offering has a 64-bit version of SDK Version 6.0 installed,
Installation Manager installs a 64-bit version of SDK Version 7.x.
For DMZ Secure Proxy Server for IBMWebSphere Application Server,
which has only a JRE, Installation Manager installs an SDK Version
7.x bit architecture corresponding to that of the JRE.
What to do next
