About this task
This example task shows you how to check for and install
software updates for the CICS
Explorer or installed plug-ins.
Procedure
- Click Help > Software Updates on
the menu bar.
- Click the Installed Software tab
to display the software installed in your configuration.
- Select one or more items in the list. If you do not select
any items, all items are checked for updates.
- Click Update to check for updates.
If updates are available, they are displayed in the Available Updates
wizard.
- In the Available Updates wizard select the software items
to update by clicking in the check box. You can select one or more
items to install. Each time you select an item, the compatibility
of the checked items is compared with your current system. If the
selection is not compatible, an error message is displayed and you
cannot update the software. You must select other items to find a
compatible selection.
- If the selected items have license agreements to be reviewed,
you must click Next. Carefully review the license
agreements for the updated items. If the terms of all these licenses
are acceptable, check "I accept the terms in the license agreements."
Do not proceed to download the items if the license terms are not
acceptable.
- If the license agreements are acceptable, or if the selected
items did not have license agreements to review, click Finish.
The download and installation of the updates begins.
- Some of the items might be digitally signed by the company
that provides them. Using the digital signature you can verify more
easily that the features and plug-ins that are about to be downloaded
and installed are coming from a trusted supplier. You might be prompted
to verify digitally signed content once the signature is detected. Warning: Because
of the possibility of harmful or even malicious software, you should
only download software from parties that you trust.
- When all the software is downloaded successfully and the
necessary files installed into the product, you are prompted to restart CICS Explorer. Click Yes when
asked to exit and restart the Workbench for the changes to take effect.
Results
The CICS Explorer restarts
with the latest updates installed.
