[Version 5.0.2 and later]updateWizard command

The updateWizard command is the wizard interface to the IBM WebSphere Application Server update installer program. You can also use a silent, command-line interface to the update installer program, the updateSilent command. The update installer program is also known as the updateInstaller program or the Update installation wizard.

The update installer program installs interim fixes, cumulatives fixes, and fix packs to WebSphere Application Server products.

The relationship among interim fixes, cumulative fixes, and fix packs is shown in the Cumulative Fix Strategy for WebSphere Application Server V5.0 and V5.1 Web page.

Overview

Both the updateWizard command and the updateSilent command command call the update installer program to install and uninstall interim fixes, cumulative fixes, and fix packs for WebSphere Application Server products. This topic describes the wizard interface to the update installer command, and gives some information about its panels and fields.

Stop all Java processes on the machine that use the IBM Software Developer Kit (SDK) that WebSphere Application Server provides: Before installing or uninstalling interim fixes, cumulative fixes, and fix packs on a machine, stop all Java processes on the machine that use the IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition that WebSphere Application Server provides. WebSphere Application Server processes include:

Stop all Java processes, if necessary. If you do install or uninstall an interim fix, a cumulative fix, or a fix pack while a WebSphere Application Server-related Java process runs, IBM does not guarantee that the product can continue to run successfully, or without error.

Remove the WebSphere MQ tray icon if present On a Windows platform, remove the WebSphere MQ tray icon if it is present. The WebSphere MQ tray icon in the lower right corner indicates that a WebSphere MQ process (amqmtbrn.exe) is running. Right click the tray icon and click Hide to remove it.

Do not launch multiple copies of the update installer program at one time The update installer program cannot be launched concurrently with itself. Performing more than one update at the same time can lead to a failed or faulty installation.
