You can update WebSphere® Application
Server Liberty Network
Deployment to
a later version using the Installation Manager GUI.
Before you begin
Contact the IBM® Software
Support Center for information about updates for WebSphere Application Server Liberty Network
Deployment. The
most current information is available from the IBM Software Support Center and Fix
Central.
IBM Installation
Manager is used to apply product maintenance to WebSphere Application Server Liberty Network
Deployment.
Make
sure that the web-based or local service repository location is listed
and checked or that the Search service repositories during installation
and updates option is selected on the Repositories panel in your
Installation Manager preferences. For more information on using service
repositories with Installation Manager, read the IBM Installation
Manager Information Center.
Procedure
- Log on to your system.
- Stop all servers and applications on the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Network
Deployment installation.
- Start Installation Manager.
- Click Update.
Note: If
you are prompted to authenticate, use the IBM ID and password that you use to access protected IBM software websites.
- Select the package group to update.
Tip: If you select
Update all, Installation Manager will
search all of the added and predefined repositories for recommended
updates to all of the package groups that it has installed.
- Use this feature 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 recommended fixes that you want to install, you
should be able to use this feature confidently.
- If you enable searching service repositories or install fixes
directly from other live web-based repositories, you might not want
to select this option so that you can select only the fixes that you
want to install for each offering on subsequent panels.
- If you select Update all, Installation Manager will install
only the recommended updates to all of the package groups; it will
not allow you to select non-recommended fixes for installation. If
you want to install non-recommended fixes, perform the following actions:
- On this panel, clear the Update all check box and select
an offering to update.
- On the next panel, clear the option to show only recommended fixes
and then select the fixes that you want to install.
- Click Next.
- Select the version to which you want to update under IBM WebSphere Application Server
Liberty Network Deployment.
- Select any fixes that you want to install.
Any
recommended fixes are selected by default.
If there are recommended
fixes, you can select the option to show only recommended fixes and
hide non-recommended fixes.
- Click Next.
- Accept the terms in the license agreements, and click Next.
- Select the optional features that you want in your updated
installation.
- Review the summary information, and click Update.
- If the installation is successful, the program displays a message
indicating that installation is successful.
- If the installation is not successful, click View Log
File to troubleshoot the problem.
- Click Finish.
- Click File > Exit to close Installation
Manager.
