Working with multiple feature packs using the Update Installer

If you have more than one feature pack installed, the Update Installer for WebSphere Software can be used to install, uninstall or apply maintenance to feature packs on your system.

To obtain optimal function of all feature packs, install the same maintenance level for WebSphere Application Servers and feature packs. For more information, refer to Required synchronization with feature packs with the Update Installer.

If the base function for a feature pack is not adequate, then customization of this base function is provided in the form of one or more enabling interim fixes. Each Websphere Application Server fix pack will always contain an enabling interim fix. These fixes are installed automatically, it is not possible to install them separately. These enabling interim fixes are installed or uninstalled automatically when you run the Update Installer.

All feature packs share a common enabling interim fix within each WebSphere Application Server fix pack. These common enablement packs are installed when any feature pack is installed. In addition, each feature pack will have its own enabling interim fix also within the WebSphere Application Server fix pack. The contents of the common enabling interim fix pack are distinct from the specific feature pack enabling interim fix pack.
