Installing service on z/OS
Apply maintenance updates to the broker.
- Download the required update package for WebSphere® Message Broker, as described in Applying service to the Broker component.
- Check that your user ID has the correct authority to complete this task; see Installation and uninstallation authorization for details.
- Store the updates on your target system.
- Install and test the fix pack. If testing is not satisfactory, you can remove this fix pack at this stage.
- After testing, confirm the fix pack as your current base level of installation.
Follow these instructions to complete the process:
Multiple concurrent installations at different levels
If you want to install a later fix pack level, and retain your existing installation so that you can use both service levels, install the second level in a different location. You can then set up additional customization so that one or more of your existing brokers can use the second service level. By retaining the product files in the first location, you can switch a broker back to the first level, if required.
The following steps are a summary of the tasks that you must complete to run a broker at one service level concurrently with a broker at another service level. These steps are identical to those you take for setting up an initial installation, except where indicated.
