You can use the IBM® Installation
Manager command line to install interim fixes that are available for
the 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.
IBM Installation Manager is used to apply product
maintenance to the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit on IBM i.
About this task
Use this procedure whenever you want to apply a new interim
fix to your system.
Restriction: You cannot use the iRemoteInstall command
to install an interim fix.
Procedure
- For a list of interim fixes that are available for the
Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit and specific information about each interim
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 interim
fixes that you would like to install.
- Update the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit with the interim
fixes using one of the following procedures.
- Access the live service repository that contains the fixes, and
use web-based updating.
Use Installation Manager on your local system
to update the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit with the interim fixes from
the live web-based repository at the following location:
http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.W2MTK.v11
To install an interim 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.
