Error description
APAR Error Description: Abstract: Installation Manager does not display packages available to install from Passport Advantage Problem: After initially configuring Installation Manager to connect to Passport Advantage under File ? Preferences, Installation Manager will show the packages available to install from Passport Advantage. However, subsequent attempts to view the packages (for example, you Cancel your install and choose to Install again or you exit Installation Manager and reopen) will show there are no packages available to install. Installation Manager will show available packages to install only after the first time 'Connect to Passport Advantage' is selected and the credentials are entered. Local fix: 1) Select File ? Preferences ? Passport Advantage. 2) Select 'Clear credentials'. Uncheck the 'Connect to Passport Advantage' option. Select OK. 3) Close Installation Manager. 4) Reopen Installation Manager. 7) Go to File ? Preferences ? Passport Advantage. 8) Check mark the 'Connect to Passport Advantage' option. Enter your credentials. Select OK. 9) Select the Install button. RESULT: You can see the packages available to install. Note: If you cancel your Install, and select Install again, you will no longer be able to see the packages available to install and will need to run the above steps again.
