Installing interim fixes for the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit on distributed operating systems using the command line

You can use the IBM® Installation Manager command line to install interim fixes that are available for the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit.

Before you begin

Contact the IBM Software Support Center for information about upgrades for WebSphere® Application Server. The most current information is available from the IBM Software Support Center and Fix Central.

IBM Installation Manager is used to apply maintenance to the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit.

Procedure

  1. For a list of interim fixes and fix packs that are available for the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit and specific information about each fix, perform the following actions.
    1. Go to Fix Central.
    2. Select WebSphere as the product group.
    3. Select WebSphere Application Server Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit as the product.
    4. Select the version of the product to be updated.
    5. Select your operating system as the platform, and click Continue.
    6. Select Browse for fixes, and click Continue.
    7. Click More Information under each fix to view information about the fix.
    8. Recommendation: Make a list of the names of the fixes that you would like to install.
  2. Update the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit with the interim fixes using one of the following procedures.
    • Access the live service repository that contains the interim fixes, and use web-based updating.
      Use Installation Manager on your local system to update the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit with the interim fixes from the live web-based repository at the following location:
      http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.W2MTK.v11
      To install an interim fix from a service repository, perform the following actions:
      1. Log on to your system.
      2. If you do not already have an Installation Manager credentials file containing your IBM software user ID and password, create one that will allow you to access the repository.
        Note: These are the credentials that you use to access protected IBM software websites.
        For information on creating a keyring file for Installation Manager, read the IBM Installation Manager Version 1.6 Information Center.
        Tip: When creating a keyring 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:

        Starting in Installation Manager Version 1.6.2, the -keyring and -password options that were used to access credentials in a key ring file are deprecated. For Installation Manager Version 1.6.2 and later, use the -secureStorageFile and -masterPasswordFile options to store credentials in a credential storage file.

        In Version 1.7, the format of the secure storage file is revised, and is no longer compatible with versions of Installation Manager before version 1.7. Update Installation Manager to version 1.7 or higher and then re-create and replace any secure storage files that you created with earlier versions.

        There is no migration path from key ring files to storage files because of the differences in the file structures. You must create a storage file to replace a key ring file. For more information about using the -secureStorageFile and -masterPasswordFile options to store credentials in a credential storage file, see the Installation Manager Version 1.6 documentation.

      3. Change to the Installation_Manager_binaries/eclipse/tools directory, where Installation_Manager_binaries is the installation root directory for the Installation Manager.
      4. Install the interim fix.
        [AIX][HP-UX][Linux][Solaris]
        ./imcl install fix_name
          -installationDirectory product_installation_location
          -repositories repository_URL
          -keyring keyring_file -password password
        [Windows]
        imcl.exe install fix_name
          -installationDirectory product_installation_location
          -repositories repository_URL
          -keyring keyring_file -password password
      5. Optional: List all installed packages to verify the installation:
        [AIX][HP-UX][Linux][Solaris]
        ./imcl listInstalledPackages -long
        [Windows]
        imcl.exe listInstalledPackages -long
    • Download the files that contain the interim fixes from Fix Central, and use local updating.
      You can download compressed files that contain the interim fixes from Fix Central. Each compressed fix file contains an Installation Manager repository for the interim fix and usually has a .zip extension. After downloading the fix files, you can use one of the following procedures to update the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit:
      • Use Installation Manager to update the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit with the interim fixes.
      • Use the IBM Packaging Utility to generate a new repository that contains all of the fix files that you downloaded, then use Installation Manager to update the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit with all of the interim fixes as a group. For information on using the Packaging Utility, see the IBM Installation Manager Version 1.6 Information Center.
      1. To download the interim fixes, perform the following actions:
        1. Go to Fix Central.
        2. Select WebSphere as the product group.
        3. Select WebSphere Application Server Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit as the product.
        4. Select the version of the product to be updated.
        5. Select your operating system as the platform, and click Continue.
        6. Select Browse for fixes, and click Continue.
        7. Select the interim fixes that you want to download, and click Continue.
        8. Select your download options, and click Continue.
        9. Click I agree to agree to the terms and conditions.
        10. Click Download now to download the interim fixes.
      2. To install an interim fix from a downloaded compressed file, perform the following actions:
        1. Log on to your system.
        2. Change to the Installation_Manager_binaries/eclipse/tools directory, where Installation_Manager_binaries is the installation root directory for the Installation Manager.
        3. Install the interim fix.
          [AIX][HP-UX][Linux][Solaris]
          ./imcl install fix_name
