    • IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty

Fix Pack 8552 You can download and install IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.1. This version and above versions are only available from the web. You have the following installation options:
  • Download the installation files from the IBM Fix Central website and use a local installation.
  • Access the live repositories and use your IBM Software ID for a web-based installation.

Procedure

  1. Optional: If the repository requires a username and password, create a credential-storage file to access this repository.
    Tip: When creating a credential-storage file, append /repository.config at the end of the repository URL location if the imutilsc command is unable to find the URL that is specified.
    Note: When you use Installation Manager Version 1.6.2 and later, you should use the -secureStorageFile and -masterPasswordFile options to store credentials in a credential-storage file. In versions of Installation Manager earlier than Version 1.6.2, the -keyring and -password options were used to access credentials in a keyring file. These options were deprecated in Version 1.6.2. There is no migration path from keyring files to storage files because of the differences in the file structures. For more information on using the -secureStorageFile and -masterPasswordFile options to store credentials in a credential-storage file, see the Installation Manager Version 1.6 Information Center. For more information on using the -keyring and -password options to store credentials in a keyring file, see the Installation Manager Version 1.5 Information Center.
  2. Log on to your system.
  3. Change to the eclipse/tools subdirectory in the directory where you installed Installation Manager.
  4. Verify that the repository is available.
    For Windows platforms
    imcl.exe listAvailablePackages -repositories path_to_repository
    For AIX platforms For HP UNIX platforms For LINUX platforms For Solaris platforms
    ./imcl listAvailablePackages -repositories path_to_repository
    You should see one or more levels of the offering.
  5. Use the imcl command to install the offering.
    For Windows platforms Fix Pack 8551
    imcl.exe install com.ibm.websphere.liberty.IBMJAVA.v70_offering_version
      -repositories source_repository 
      -installationDirectory installation_directory
      -secureStorageFile storage_file -masterPasswordFile master_password_file
    Fix Pack 8552
    imcl.exe install com.ibm.websphere.liberty.IBMJAVA.v71_offering_version
      -repositories source_repository 
      -installationDirectory installation_directory
      -secureStorageFile storage_file -masterPasswordFile master_password_file
    For AIX platforms For HP UNIX platforms For LINUX platforms For Solaris platforms Fix Pack 8551
    ./imcl install com.ibm.websphere.liberty.IBMJAVA.v70_offering_version
      -repositories source_repository 
      -installationDirectory installation_directory
      -secureStorageFile storage_file -masterPasswordFile master_password_file
    Fix Pack 8552
    ./imcl install com.ibm.websphere.liberty.IBMJAVA.v71_offering_version
      -repositories source_repository 
      -installationDirectory installation_directory
      -secureStorageFile storage_file -masterPasswordFile master_password_file

    The value of the -installationDirectory parameter should be the location of an existing Liberty installation. The SDK offering will be installed into the <liberty_home>\java\java_1.7_32 or <liberty_home>\java\java_1.7_64 folder, depending on whether the installation location was configured to be 32-bit or 64-bit when the Liberty offering was initially installed.

    Note: The bit architecture that will be installed, 32 bit or 64 bit, will match the bit selection made during the installation of the Liberty offering. For GUI installations of Liberty offerings, this selection is made on the Location panel. For command-line and response-file installations of Liberty offerings, the default can be overridden using the cic.selector.arch property.
    Tips:
    • The offering_version, which optionally can be attached to the offering ID with an underscore, is a specific version of the offering to install (8.5.0.20110503_0200 for example).
      • If offering_version is not specified, the latest version of the offering and all interim fixes for that version are installed.
      • If offering_version is specified, the specified version of the offering and no interim fixes for that version are installed.
      The offering version can be found attached to the end of the offering ID with an underscore when you run the following command against the repository:
      imcl listAvailablePackages -repositories source_repository
    • You can also specify none, recommended or all with the -installFixes argument to indicate which interim fixes you want installed with the offering.
      • If the offering version is not specified, the -installFixes option defaults to all.
      • If the offering version is specified, the -installFixes option defaults to none.
    • The relevant terms and conditions, notices, and other information are provided in the license-agreement files in the lafiles or product_name/lafiles subdirectory of the installation image or repository for this product.
    • The program might write important post-installation instructions to standard output.

    For more information on using the imcl command, see the IBM Installation Manager Information Center.
