Problem reinstalling 4.0.5 CLM after uninstall on AIX

After uninstalling CLM 4.0.5 on AIX 6.1, a repository was removed, upon replacing the repository back, IIM from the UI or console fails to install or even properly view installed packages.

is there a way to pass an argument like -clean to IIM to reset package metadata?

Other products are installed on this system and working fine.

It looks like the registry of Installation Manager is corrupted. I don't know a way to "reset" the registry, but I would suggest you uninstall and reinstall IM if no other applications (packages) are installed with IM. You should be able to find plenty of information in the IM InfoCenter. Here are a few pointers.

Hope it helps.

Donald, unfortunately , 3 other products were installed with IIM, so uninstalling is not possible

In that case, I would suggest you open a support ticket to get the case investigated more carefully. The log files of IM, or even its installation may need close examination.

It might be possible to use the switch -reinstallIM From:

This document should give you some clues.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21636797

I see a number of com.ibm.team.install.jfs.app.product-clm*.jar files in my ..Installation Manager\installRegistry\metadata\Offerings on my Windows machine.
So that is where you would want to look. I'm not sure if you need to get them from AIX or not but they should be the same version of RTC

If you are willing to lose the ability to uninstall, upgrade or apply fixes to the other installed products you can also rename the {IM_DATADIR}. 
I'm not sure where that is on AIX. Mine is here: C:\ProgramData\IBM\Installation Manager on Windows.
I'm not sure if you would need to reinstall IM at that point or if it will just start fresh and you can perform the install from there.


What repository was removed by the way?
