You can update Installation
Manager without
uninstalling packages that you installed by using Installation
Manager.
Before you begin
Decide whether to use the service repositories or download
the fix pack:
- To use the service repositories, you must have an Internet connection
on the computer where the update is performed. If you use the service
repositories, Installation
Manager is
updated to the latest version. To update to a version that is not
the latest, you must download the files for that version.
- Download the fix pack,
com.ibm.cic.agent.offering_version.zip, for the version of
Installation
Manager
that you require. Go to the Installation
Manager download
links technical document and click the applicable download document link. The download
document contains details about downloading the installation files..
The fix pack package is
larger than the installation kit. If you are updating
Installation
Manager on one
platform, consider using the installation kit,
agent.installer.platform_version.zip, to
update
Installation
Manager.
If you are updating Installation
Manager on
a computer that does not have internet access or you want to update
to a specific version that is not the latest version, see Updating Installation Manager by using downloaded files.
