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.

For more general information on maintenance updates and their availability see the WebSphere MQ family Web page at http://www.software.ibm.com/mqseries/.
