Procedure
- 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 SDK Java Technology
Edition Version 7.0 for Liberty.
- Click Next.
- Accept the terms in the license agreements, and click Next.
- 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.
