IBM Installation
Manager is used to apply product maintenance to WebSphere Application Server
Tip: As an alterative to the procedure that is described in
this article, Installation Manager allows you to use the updateAll command
in a response file or on the command line to search for and update
all installed packages. Use this command only if you have full control
over which fixes are contained in the targeted repositories. If you
create and point to a set of custom repositories that include only
the specific fixes that you want to install, you should be able to
use this command confidently. If you enable searching service repositories
or install fixes directly from other live web-based repositories,
then you might not want to select this option so that you can select
only the fixes that you want to install using the -installFixes option
with the install command on the command line or
the installFixes attribute in a response file.
