This topic applies to WebSphere Application Server Liberty V8.5.5.9 and earlier. For the latest Liberty topics, see the WebSphere Application Server Liberty documentation.
Installing Liberty fix packs on distributed operating systems using response files
You can update WebSphere® Application Server Liberty Core to a later version using Installation Manager response files.
About this task
To install Version 8.5.5.4 and later of
Liberty, you must have IBM® Installation Manager Version 1.6.2
or later.
If you want to install Liberty assets from
local directory-based repositories or an instance of the Liberty Asset Repository Service, configure
the repositories. For more information about the Liberty
asset repositories, see Installing assets using Installation Manager.
Tip: As an alternative to the procedure that is described in this topic, use the
Installation Manager updateAll command in a response file or on the command line
to search for and update all installed packages. Use this command only if you have full control over
which fixes are contained in the targeted repositories. Create and point to a set of custom
repositories that include only the specific fixes that you want to install. If you enable searching
service repositories or if you install fixes directly from other live web-based repositories, then
you might not want to select this option so that you can select only the fixes that you want to
install using the -installFixes option with the install
command on the command line or the installFixes attribute in a response file.
