You can use the IBM® Installation
Manager command-line function to update the product with the fixes
that are available for your service level of Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit.
Before you begin
Contact the IBM Software
Support Center for information about upgrades for WebSphere® Application Server for IBM i. The most current information
is available from the IBM Software
Support Center and Fix Central.
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.
Minimum
repositories requirement to apply Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit updates: Installation
Manager must have access to the following repositories:
- Repository for the current level of the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit
that is installed on the system
- Update repositories—that is, the repositories containing the updates
for the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit
See the readme documentation that is included with the
fix pack for more information on installing the update.
About this task
Use this procedure whenever you want to apply a new fix pack
to your system.
Restriction: You cannot use the iRemoteInstall command
to install a fix pack.
Procedure
- 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.
- Go to Fix
Central.
- Select WebSphere as
the product group.
- Select WebSphere Application
Server Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit as the product.
- Select the version of the product to be updated.
- Select your operating system as the platform, and click Continue.
- Select Browse for fixes, and click Continue.
- Click More Information under each fix to view information
about the fix.
- Recommendation: Make a list of the names of the fixes that
you would like to install.
- Update the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit with the fix pack
using one of the following procedures.
- Access the live service repository that contains the fix pack,
and use web-based updating.
Use Installation Manager on your local
system to update the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit with the fix pack
from the live web-based repository at the following location:
http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.W2MTK.v11
To install a fix from a service repository, perform
the following actions:
- 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.
