Installing fix packs and refresh packs with customized installation packages

This feature allows you to upgrade to a newer maintenance level using a customized installation package (CIP).

Before you begin

To install interim fixes, fix packs, and refresh packs, collectively known as maintenance packages, you must have an existing WebSphere® ESB installation. The existing product installation level must be a lower level than the maintenance package that you want to install.
You can obtain a WebSphere ESB CIP in two ways, from the disks in the product package or by downloading installation images from the Passport Advantage® site, if you are licensed to do so.
Note: For detailed installing instructions, please refer to the instructions provided with your fix pack or refresh pack.
Attention: Fix packs that include updates to the Software Development Kit (SDK) might overwrite unrestricted policy files. Back up unrestricted policy files before you apply a fix pack and reapply these files after the fix pack is applied.

To install a maintenance package using a CIP, perform the following steps.

Procedure
  1. Determine the maintenance level of the existing WebSphere ESB installation. The installed product must be at a lower maintenance level then the maintenance upgrade you will apply. You can check the existing version using the versionInfo script. See Product version and history information for more details.
  2. Follow the procedure in the Installing WebSphere ESB interactively topic.
  3. After completing the installation, you can use the versionInfo script to verify that the installation is at the updated maintenance level.
