Use the IBM Update Installer for WebSphere Software Version 7.0.0.x to install interim fixes, refresh packs, or fix packs on remote installation targets. Before you can use the centralized installation manager to apply maintenance to your installation targets, download the latest version of the Update Installer.
Before you can install any interim fixes and fix packs on your installation targets, the centralized installation manager repository must already contain the binaries for the Update Installer.
The Update Installer for WebSphere Software Version 7.0.x is the tool that you use to apply maintenance to your WebSphere® Extended Deployment and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment environments. The centralized installation manager does not install maintenance on the deployment manager. Instead, use the following steps to download the Update Installer, which you can then use to apply maintenance to the deployment manager. For more information about the Update Installer, see the IBM Update Installer Support site.
From the Available installations panel, use the centralized installation manager to install the Update Installer in one of two ways:
The centralized installation manager then checks if the Update Installer is already installed on the installation target. If no existing installation exists, the centralized installation manager automatically selects the appropriate version of the Update Installer to install based on the version of the operating system on which WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment is installed. For example, if WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment is installed on a 32-bit operating system, the centralized installation manager selects and installs the 32-bit version of the Update Installer.
