Installing a Feature Pack for SCA maintenance package using the graphical user interface

After you install Feature Pack for SCA Version 1.0.0, you can install a Feature Pack for SCA refresh pack using the IBM Update Installer.

Before you begin

Before starting this installation, do the following:

  1. Ensure that you have a WebSphere® Application Server Version 7.0 installation with the Feature Pack for SCA Version 1.0.0 installed.
  2. Download and install the IBM Update Installer Version 7.0.0.3 or later from the IBM support site. For more information, see the topic Installing the Update Installer.
  3. New or updated for this feature pack Download the WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0.0.5 fix pack. Using the IBM Update Installer, install the WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0.0.5 fix pack. The Version 7.0.0.5 fix pack must be installed before you can install the Feature Pack for SCA Version 1.0.1 refresh pack.
  4. Download the Feature Pack for SCA Version 1.0.1 refresh pack, 1.0_WS_SCA_RP000000.1.pak, into the updi_root/maintenance directory. Do not unzip the pak file.

Use the Update Installer program from the same user ID that installed the product that you are updating. Otherwise, the file ownership mismatches might require correction by the root user. See Using root or non-root when installing with the Update Installer for more information.
