Applying service to the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit

Apply maintenance updates and program fixes to the WebSphere® Message Broker Toolkit.

Before you apply a fix pack or other service pack to the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit, you might want to preserve the resources that you have created or imported into Version 8.0. For details of this task, see Backing up the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer and WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit workspace.

Check that your user ID has the correct authority to complete this task; see Installation and uninstallation authorization for details.

The WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit uses IBM® Installation Manager to install service updates. Occasionally, an update is also required to Installation Manager; if an update is required, it is downloaded automatically and you are prompted to apply service to Installation Manager before you can apply service to the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit.

Occasionally, updates to the information center are also made available. These updates are integrated with component updates when they are made available, and are therefore automatically included when you apply any updates using these instructions.

You can install multiple versions of the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit at the same modification or fix pack level, or at different levels, on a single computer. Each installation must be in a separate package group; package groups are described in more detail in IBM Installation Manager.

For information about current fixes, follow the link Recommended fixes in the Download section of the WebSphere Message Broker support web page. Click the link for Version 8.0, and select the updates you want to apply. Service release notes, the list of problems fixed in a fix pack or other maintenance release, and the instructions you must follow to complete the service upgrade are available. The instructions provide full details of how to apply each service fix, and include information about fixes to Installation Manager, if required. Always use those instructions in preference to the information in this topic, because they are maintained regularly and provide the latest information.

If you want Installation Manager to retrieve updates from a different location, see Changing the update repositories for Installation Manager. If you use FTP or HTTP proxies to allow applications to access the Internet, see Setting FTP and HTTP proxies for Installation Manager.

Use Installation Manager for all service updates, including those updates to Installation Manager itself. In most cases, the following instructions are sufficient; occasionally, further steps are necessary, therefore you must always check with the instructions provided with each fix on the support website.

  1. Start Installation Manager by using one of the following two methods:
    • From the Linux main menu or the Windows Start menu:
      • Linux platformOn Linux: You can use this option only if you are logged in as root. If you have logged in as another user, you cannot use the main menu links, even if you become root.
        • On Red Hat: Click System > IBM Installation Manager.
        • On SUSE: Click System Tools > IBM Installation Manager.
      • Windows platformOn Windows: Click Start > Programs > IBM Installation Manager > IBM Installation Manager.
    • From the command line:

      Navigate to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory in which Installation Manager is installed and run the following command:

      • Linux platformIBMIM
      • Windows platformIBMIM.exe
    Installation Manager opens and displays its initial panel.
  2. Click Update Packages, then select the package group in which you have installed the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit.
  3. Click Next. Installation Manager searches the selected update site or sites, and displays a list of available updates for the products and features that you have installed.

    Initially Show recommended (below the list) is selected, and the latest updates only are shown. To include earlier updates as well, select Show all.

    For information about how you can change the locations that are searched, see Changing the update repositories for Installation Manager.

  4. Select the updates that you want to apply and click Update. The updates are applied.
  5. To return to the Installation Manager initial panel, click OK.
  6. To close Installation Manager, click File > Exit. Verify that the changes have worked; see Verifying your installation by using the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit.
If you want to remove service that you have applied, see Uninstalling service from the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit.
