Hello Raghuraman,

I checked your logs and I can see the following error-message:

CRIMA1217E: A problem occurred during the execution of the /applications/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer/installer/wp.config/wizard/repository/repository_actions.xml file.

Explanation: A package has an issue that cannot be resolved by Installation Manager.

User Action: Identify the package that has the issue by looking at the installation history. In Installation Manager, click File > Installation History. In console mode, enter S: View Installation History. Contact IBM customer support.

That is usually an indication that there are some networking issues that cause the problem. You will also find some further hints about it at technote:

https://support.hcltechsw.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0078346

Did you already check the problem in networking point of view?

You can also try to test, if you also see the problem, when you copy over the whole WAS/Portal installation binaries to the local machine and then try to start the Installation Manager from there. I know that sometimes an installation from a remote repository can fail because of wrong filesharing configuration settings or networking issues.

Thanks, Thorsten
