Updating the feature pack on distributed operating systems

You can use Installation Manager to update this feature pack to a later version.

Before you begin

Make sure that your Installation Manager preferences are pointing to Web-based or local repositories that contain the appropriate updates for the feature pack.

Minimum repositories requirement to apply feature-pack updates: Installation Manager must have access to the following repositories:
  • Repository for the current level of WebSphere Application Server that is installed on the system (which can be an import repository)
  • Repositories for the current levels of the feature packs that are installed on the system
  • Update repositories—that is, the fix-pack repositories containing the updates for the feature packs that you want to apply
  • Repository for the Feature Pack for OSGi Applications and Java Persistence API 2.0 Version 1.0.0.0 if you are installing or removing a feature during the update.
Supported configurations [Fix Pack 11 or later] Supported configurations: You must use IBM Installation Manager Version 1.4.0 or later to install, modify, or uninstall a feature pack on WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 Fix Pack 11 or later. For more information, see the support documentation for IBM Installation Manager.sptcfg

About this task

Perform this procedure to use Installation Manager to update this feature pack.

Procedure

  1. Stop all servers and applications on the WebSphere Application Server installation that is being updated.
  2. Start Installation Manager.
  3. Click Update.
  4. Select the package group to update.
  5. Click Next.
    Note: If you are prompted to authenticate, use the IBM ID and password that you registered with on the program Web site.
  6. Select the version to which you want to update under IBM WebSphere Application Server V7 Feature Pack for OSGi Applications and Java Persistence API 2.0.
  7. Click Next.
  8. Accept the terms in the license agreements, and click Next.
  9. Optional: Check the OSGi Applications or Java Persistence API 2.0 checkbox to install one of the features, or clear the checkbox to leave the feature uninstalled or to remove it if you already have it installed.
    Notes:
    • The features are selected by default.
    • You must select at least one of the features.
    • If you are installing or removing a feature, additional actions are required.
      • If you install the feature, you must use the manageprofiles command or the Profile Management Tool to augment an existing profile or create a new profile when this update is finished to enable the functionality provided by the feature.
      • If you want to remove the feature, you must perform one of the following actions:
        • Before you remove the feature, use the manageprofiles command to unaugment all profiles that are augmented with support for the feature.

          Profiles that are unaugmented should be deleted when this roll back is finished because they might not be valid after the feature is removed.

        • After you remove the feature, use the manageprofiles command to delete all profiles that are augmented with support for the feature.
  10. Review the summary information, and click Update.
    • If the installation is successful, the program displays a message indicating that installation is successful.
