Downloading the Update Installer for WebSphere Software

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 begin

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.

About this task

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.

Procedure

  1. In the administrative console, click System administration > Centralized Installation Manager > Add or Remove Packages.
  2. Click Update Installer for WebSphere Software in the table that displays the list of installation packages.
  3. Select one or more operating systems, and click Download.
  4. Review the summary, and click Download to start downloading the Update Installer binary files for the selected operating systems.

    You can monitor the download status of the files from the Add or Remove Packages panel after the download process begins. Click the icon to refresh the contents of the table if necessary.

What to do next

From the Available installations panel, use the centralized installation manager to install the Update Installer in one of two ways:

  • Select Refresh pack, fix pack, or maintenance tool from the Package type list. From the Installation package list, select the specific maintenance that you want to apply, and click Show installation targets. A list of applicable installation targets is displayed. Select one or more targets, and click Install.

    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.

  • Select Refresh pack, fix pack, or maintenance tool from the Package type list. Select Update Installer for WebSphere Software as the type of installation package, and click Show installation targets. A list of applicable installation targets on which to install the Update Installer is displayed. Select one or more targets, and click Install.
