There are three basic options for
installing IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology
Edition Version 7.0.
- Access the physical media, and use local installation
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.
Supported configurations: IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology
Edition Version 7.1 and above are only available from the web. You
have the following options:
- Download the installation files from the IBM Fix Central website
and use a local installation.
- Access the live repositories and use your IBM Software ID for
a web-based installation.

Procedure
- Optional: If the repository requires a username
and password, create a keyring file to access this repository.
For more information on creating a keyring file for Installation
Manager, read the IBM Installation
Manager Version 1.6 Information Center or the IBM Installation
Manager Version 1.5 Information Center.
Tip: When
creating a keyring file, append /repository.config at
the end of the repository URL location if the imutilsc command
is unable to find the URL that is specified.
Note: Starting
in Installation Manager Version 1.6.2, the
-keyring and
-password options
that have been used to access credentials in a keyring file are deprecated.
When you use Installation Manager Version 1.6.2 and later, use the
-secureStorageFile and
-masterPasswordFile options
to store credentials in a credential storage file.
There is no migration
path from keyring files to storage files because of the differences
in the file structures. You must create a storage file to replace
a keyring file.
For more information on using the -secureStorageFile and -masterPasswordFile options
to store credentials in a credential storage file, see the Installation Manager Version 1.6 Information Center.
- Log on to your system.
- Change to the eclipse/tools subdirectory
in the directory where you installed Installation Manager.
- Verify that the repository is available.
