Appendix B. Applying maintenance to WebSphere MQ Everyplace
Maintenance updates for WebSphere MQ Everyplace are always shipped as a complete
new release. There are two options when upgrading from one release to another:
- Completely uninstall the current level, and install the new
level in same directory
- When doing this it is recommended you keep the install package for the
current level to allow it to be restored later if necessary.
- Keep the existing level and install the new level into a new
directory
- After installation, check your classpath to ensure that the latest level
of WebSphere MQ Everyplace is being invoked. If installing on Windows, make sure that you give
the shortcuts folder for the new install a different name to the existing
one.
