CIM Repository
The CIM (common information model) repository shares installation information across Sybase and New Era of Networks products, tracking version and path information for each product installation. If the repository is already installed, you do not need to install a new CIM Repository. However, the repository must be running before you can install products.
If a CIM repository does exist:
•on the local machine on which you are installing, and the repository is running, the installer uses that repository by default. The Repository Information window does not appear.
•on the local machine on which you are installing and the repository is not running, the installer tries to start the existing repository. If it cannot start the repository, a warning message appears stating that a repository was found but could not be started. The Repository window will appear for you to provide the repository information and start the repository.
•on a remote machine, the Repository Information window appears even if the repository is running on the remote machine. If you want to use an existing repository, start it manually and provide the information required by the installer for the existing repository.
If a CIM repository does not exist or cannot be found by the installer, a window appears, prompting you to install a new CIM Repository or use an existing repository.
