Copying product packages using Packaging Utility

To create a repository from which IBM Installation Manager can install product, you must use the IBM Packaging Utility to copy the product package to the repository.

1. Start the Packaging Utility.
2. Click Copy Package > Next. The Source page opens. Repositories are listed in the Content table.
3. Click Open repository, if the repository for your product package is not listed.
   Remember: A repository can be a path to a directory in the file system or a URL to a directory on a server.
4. Click Browse and navigate to the directory containing the DevOps product installation files. Example repository locations:
   • Windows™: C:\installation_files\DevOps_product\disk1\diskTag.inf
   • Linux or UNIX systems: /installation_files/DevOps_product/disk1/diskTag.inf
   If you have a repository that contains a diskTag.inf and a repository.config, you must select the diskTag.inf directory. When the repository.config directory is selected, the copy process fails.
5. Select the repository to copy and click Next.
6. Accept the License Agreement to continue
7. In the Destination window, select an existing repository directory from the drop-down list or click Browse... to select a directory path.
8. Click Next. Review the repositories selected for copying.
9. Click Copy.
