Before you begin
About this task
You can use Installation Manager to upgrade WebSphere® Application Server Liberty offerings in the following paths:
All Liberty features in your existing installation are compatible with the upgraded installation. Any individual features remain installed when you upgrade.
Important: Some edition-specific addons, such as the feature bundle addons that are
included in fix pack 16.0.0.2 and later, might not be compatible with the upgraded edition and are
therefore removed. For example, by default the Liberty Core edition is installed with the
libertyCoreBundle addon, which contains all features that apply to the
Liberty Core edition. If you upgrade to a different Liberty edition, this addon is removed. During
the upgrade process, you can install the edition-specific bundle that applies to your upgraded
installation.
