Package updates provide fixes and updates to installed
product packages. You can use the Update Packages wizard
in IBM® Installation Manager
to install updates for product packages that were installed by using IBM Installation Manager.
Before you begin
Internet access is required unless your repository preferences
points to a local update site.
Each installed package has the
location embedded for its default IBM update
repository. For Installation Manager to search the IBM update repository locations for the installed
packages, the preference Search service repositories during
installation and updates on the Repositories preference
page must be selected. This preference is selected by default.
See
the Installation Manager help for more information.
Important: - Close all programs that were installed using Installation Manager
before updating.
- During the update process, Installation Manager might prompt you
for the location of the repository for the base version of the package.
If you installed the product from DVDs or other media, they must be
available when you use the update feature.
